I’m always up for new activities to do with spelling/vocab words. Here’s a new one I’ve come up with for kids to do this year…
1. write each word on its own shamrock
2. lightly color the shamrocks (unless you printed the worksheet on green paper)
3. cut out and glue on to construction paper (also draw a leprechaun, pot of gold, rainbow, etc.) or turn into a necklace, etc… just do something crafty with it.
