Plan a Family Scavenger Hunt
Who said Easter was the only time to have a family scavenger hunt? Get some gold chocolate coins from the store and hide them in the nooks and crannies of your house – whoever finds the most gets a prize (maybe a new Carole Marsh Mystery book)!
Make Shamrock Slime
Slime is so popular right now! My 11-year-old brother makes big batches of different colored slimes and plays with them for days. Put a St.Patrick’s Day twist on this gooey craft by adding gold and green coloring and mixing in some glitter for a sparkly addition. Ask a parent to help you search for a simple slime recipe online and get creative with it.
Dress Up as a Leprechaun
Find items around your house that you think the mythical leprechaun would wear. Then, call all of your family into an area and make up a St. Patrick’s Day story! Some topics you could talk about are:
Why there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
Why the four-leaf-clover is lucky
How green became the official color of St. Patrick’s Day
How the leprechaun got so small
Eat Green Food
I found this delicious recipe on a blog page that I will attach below for GREEN POPCORN! I think popcorn is a great snack and we eat it very often here in Carole Marsh’s office! Good news is this recipe only takes 8 minutes to make! Bad news…well you might have some green stained hands. Check it out: https://momfoodie.com/st-patricks-day-leprechaun-popcorn/!
Wear GREEN
Of course, on St. Patrick’s Day you should wear something green! Take your shamrockin’ look to the next level with all green everything! Hats, shirts, pants, socks, shoes! How much green do you have?
