Leprechaun Movement Activity

Need a fun movement activity for St. Patrick's Day? Let your little ones pretend to be a leprechaun to this fun rhyming poem.

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Turn around. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Touch the ground. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Stand on your toes. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Touch your nose. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Hands in the air. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Hands on your hair. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Arms out wide. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Sit and hide. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Give a clap. 

Leprechaun, Leprechaun 

Hands in your lap. 

• Start the poem by standing up. 
• Follow the directions in the poem. 
• On sit and hide, have the children sit in criss-crossed or learning position and cover their heads pretending not to get caught being a leprechaun. 
• Finish the poem by having them put their hands in their lap. 

 This works perfectly because it gives them movement opportunities and ends with them in learning position. Happy St. Patrick's Day. Have fun working with rhyming words while having a brain break too.
