I don't have a pot of gold for you, but here’s a little leprechaun’s magic wand to make tomorrow. Take a square sheet of paper and color on all four sides as shown. Turn over and start at one corner and roll up tightly. Tape the end. Taaa daaa!
*Students can use the wand to read the room. One student points to a word (letter, color, shape) while a friend reads.
*Students can track print in big books and on charts with the wand.
*You can do invisible writing in the air with the wand.
*Use the wand as a springboard for stories about what they would do if they were a leprechaun with a magic wand.
*When you want the class to be quiet wave the wand in a circle and say, “Abracadabra.” Tell the children that when they feel the magic they will be quiet and listen to you. If a child isn't listening wave the wand over their head and say, "Here's a little more magic for you!"
