2. A Leprechaun Trap - Students will enjoy working together to design a Leprechaun trap.

3. Create Your Own Lucky Charm - Students have fun sharing their culture.

4. Leprechaun Map -Students are turned into leprechauns who are closely guarding their gold.

5. Letter to a Leprechaun - There's a Leprechaun in your room who has gold to share, but the students must convince him why he should share it with them.

6. Measuring Pots of Gold - Science and leprechauns, makes for great fun.
