Green Day

Green day (not the band :)), is right around the corner!
I'm posting this a little early so you can check out this song to sing with the students you serve before St. Patrick's Day happens this year.

I wrote this song a couple of years ago, but I sing it with students each year.  Singing songs about holidays is a great way to help students learn about the different holidays throughout the year.  I also use visuals so the students can see the objects the song mentions (in this case:  shamrocks, leprechauns, gold, rainbows,etc..).
Pairing visuals with songs really helps students learn to label objects-especially new objects, new vocabulary, etc..



Here are the lyrics:

Shamrocks and four leaf clovers too
Leprechauns with gold and rainbows too
These are all things that we'll see today on St. Patrick's Day.

I will wear something green today.
Today we celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
Green's the only color that can guarantee no one will pinch me.

Shamrocks and four leaf clovers too
Leprechauns with gold and rainbows too
These are all things that we'll see today on St. Patrick's Day.

What songs do you sing to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
