Saint Patrick's Day Children's "Singable Book"

You don't have to be Irish to celebrate Saint Patrick's Day!  If you are planning a Saint Patrick's Day thematic unit during the school day, you might like to view this POST and grab a free pattern of a pot for a "Pot of Gold" craft.  Or, you can just get the pattern HERE.

I love "singable" books for children and I believe kids should sing every day.  It's "brain pleasing"!  I have a Saint Patrick's Day resource at my Teacher's Pay Teachers shop called, Saint Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt.  One of the items included in the packet is a printable book.  I used the tune from "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush".  There is rhyme, repetition, and alliteration in the text which you will hear when I sing it to you.  The book is written with my own words and is copyrighted by me.  If you are considering purchasing the packet, I though it would be helpful for you to have an idea of how to sing the words with the tune.


The children in the booklet that I made are playing various musical instruments as the reader "sings" the booklet.  I couldn't have imagined a more perfect set of graphics!  They were created by Laura Strickland.  You can view her website at Whimsy Clips.


Don't forget to wear green on March17th.  Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
