Get your students talking, thinking, and making connections with this fun St. Patrick's Day edition of Classroom Connections! This engaging one-page printable encourages students to brainstorm ideas, compare answers with classmates, and discover how much they have in common—all while celebrating the holiday in a fun, educational way.
Students write three answers for each St. Patrick's Day-themed category, then the teacher directs the students to read their answers one at a time. Every time another student has one of the same answers, they earn a tally mark. The student with the most matching answers wins!
This activity naturally builds vocabulary, critical thinking, communication skills, and classroom community while getting students moving and interacting with one another.
