    Songs, poems and fingerplays

  • I'm a Little Leprechaun (Sung To: "I'm a little Teapot")

    I'm a little leprechaun.

    Dressed in green, The tiniest man,

    That you have ever seen. If you ever catch me, so it's told,

    I'll give you my pot of gold!

  • Five Irish Shamrocks

    Five little shamrocks hopping through the door, (five fingers hop) One chased a tiny elf and then there were four. (Hold up four fingers) Four little shamrocks swinging from a tree, (fingers swing) One tumbled down and then there were three. (hold up three fingers) Three little shamrocks heard an owl say "WHOO!" (fingers at ear) One hid behind a leprechaun and then there were two. (hold up two fingers) Two little shamrocks said "Let's do a little dance." (fingers dance) One soon tired out and one was left to prance. (hold up one finger) One little shamrock left all alone to say, (hands cup mouth) I'm going to do a little jig. Happy St. Patrick's Day!" (finger does a jig)

    Five Irish Shamrocks

    Print up the following sheets onto white card stock.

    Pick either the colored or B & W sheets. Trim - laminate and add a piece of rough Velcro to the back of each shamrock. Use on flannel board.

    Note: If you print up the B & W shamrocks, color before you laminate. Laminating will make shamrocks last longer.

  • I'm a Little Shamrock (Sung to: I'm a Little Teapot")

    I'm a little shamrock, see my leaves. Count my three petals if you please. If you give me water and lots of sun,

    I'll bring you good luck and lots of fun!

    How Many Leprechauns?

    How many leprechauns do you see? (Hand out)

    Can you count them? One - two - three. (Count with fingers)

    How many skinny ones, how many fat? (Use hands to show skinny and fat bellies)

    How many leprechauns without a hat?

  • I'm Looking For a Leprechaun (Sung to: "Mary Had a Little Lamb")

    I'm looking for a leprechaun,

    Leprechaun, leprechaun. I'm looking for a leprechaun,

    Do you know where he's gone?

    He wears a suit that's made of green, Made of green, made of green,

    He wears a suit that's made of green, Do you know where he's gone?

    He lives by a rainbow and hides his gold,

    Hides his gold, hides his gold, He lives by a rainbow and hides his gold,

    Do you know where he's gone?

    If you see a leprechaun, Leprechaun, leprechaun, If you see a leprechaun,

    Please tell me where he's gone!

  • St. Patrick's Day

    St. Patrick's Day is here, you see. We'll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three. We'll count the leaves and look them over,

    And maybe find a four-leafed clover. I'll sew green buttons on my vest, Green for St. Patrick is the best. I'll wear a green hat, very high, And dance a jig--at least I'll try!

  • Do Your Ears Point Up? (Sung to: "Do Your Ears Hang Low?")

    Do your ears point up, Do you have a lot of luck?

    For gold do you dig, Can you do an Irish jig?

    If the answer's "yes," Your a Leprechaun, I guess!

    Do your ears point up?

  • 5 Little Leprechauns Five little leprechauns scurrying by my door, One jumped away, then there were 4. Four little leprechauns climbing in my tree, One hid in the green leaves, then there were 3. Three little leprechauns, just a busy few, One went for a pot of gold, then there were 2. Two little leprechauns, having lots of fun, One hopped over the rainbow, then there was 1. One little leprechaun, with all his work done. He slipped off for a nap, then there were none.

  • The Leprechaun

    A leprechaun is small and green, (Put hand to indicate a short leprechaun)

    He hides where he cannot be seen (Cover eyes) But if you catch one on this day (Shake finger),

    He must give his gold away. (jump up and down)

    Five Little Shamrocks

    One green shamrock, in the morning dew; Another one sprouted, and then there were two. Two green shamrocks, growing beneath a tree;

    Another one sprouted and then there were three. Three green shamrocks, by the cottage door;

    Another one sprouted, and then there were four. Four green shamrocks, near a beehive;

    Another one sprouted, and then there were five. Five little shamrocks, bright and emerald green; Think of all the luck these shamrocks will bring.

  • Catch Him If You Can (Sung to: "The Muffin Man")

    Oh! have you seen a leprechaun,

    a leprechaun, a leprechaun. Oh! have you seen a leprechaun,

    Who came from Ireland?

    Eensy Weensy Leprechaun (Sung to:Eensy Weensy Spider")

    An eensy, weensy leprechaun

    Came out St. Patrick's Day To look for the gold

    That was hidden far away.

    so with the wink of his green eyes, He ran for the gold.
