Rainbow Activities

It is that time of the year where we focus on all things green and rainbows!  St. Patrick's Day is a fun time to do some rainbow activities with your kiddos.

I have two fun activities that we have done this past week.

The first one I cut out strips of colored paper.  We used our colored dot stickers to stick on each strip.

I cut out a black pot and we glued each strip in rainbow color order onto the pot!  This is a great one to work on fine motor and color matching.

The next one we did we used the strips of paper to spell our name!  I have seen this done with sight words and thought it would be perfect to review the letters in our name.

I cut out the strips and a cloud.  I wrote each letter on a colored strip and the full name on the cloud.

Next, we matched the letters to build our name!

These would be cute to hang from the ceiling in your classroom for a fun spring feel!

St. Patrick's Day Writing Sensory Bin

I'm back with a fun writing center idea for you!

I have been really into sensory bins lately, so I took the word card from my St. Patrick's Day writing pack and added them to a St. Patrick's Day themed sensory bin,

Our sensory bin also has a mix of colored beans.  I also added some green Easter grass and gold glitter paper strips.  I found both of these from Walmart in their Easter section.

You could also add a tweezers or tongs to have your kiddos grab each card using those tools.
I laminated our word tracing paper, so we can use this over and over.  Plus, it cuts down on copying!

That sneaky leprechaun is making its way into classrooms across the country, so it is a perfect time to add these St. Patrick's Day writing activities to your writing center.

All of these centers follow the same format as my Winter and Valentine's Day Writing Center Activity packs!

There are making lists pages.

There are also read trace, write, and build it pages.

I have also made 10 word cards and a recording sheet that can be used as a Write the Room activity or put in a center for extra writing practice.
