How to Play

Where's the Leprechaun? is a game for centers or whole group instruction where the leprechaun is hidden behind a shamrock. A poem is chanted where the student(s) must say the letter they think the leprechaun is behind. Once guessed, the letter is removed. If the leprechaun is behind the shamrock, then it must be hidden again to play further. If the leprechaun is not behind the shamrock, then the poem is chanted again and a new letter is guessed. This game has letters in both capital and lowercase forms.

These cards can also be used as a matching game, where the capital and lowercase cards can be matched.
