Celebrating St. Patrick's Day at The Holiday Zone

Five Little Leprechauns
(Action Rhyme)

Five little leprechauns digging for some gold. (Digging motion)
One slipped and fell into a hole. (Falling)
The others called a fairy who them told, (Calling)
"No more leprechauns digging for gold!" (Shaking finger)

Four little leprechauns digging for some gold.
(And so on...)

No little leprechauns to dig for gold. (Shrug shoulders.)
All the five are down in the hole. (Hold up five fingers, then point down.)
Above them stands the fairy who loudly scolds, (Hands on hips)
"I told you to stop digging for that gold!" (Shaking finger)

Leprechaun, Leprauchan
(Action Rhyme)

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Reach up high.

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Touch the sky.

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Turn around.

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Touch the ground.

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Show your shoe.

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
That will do.

Can't Catch Me!
to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

No, you can't, you can't catch me!
Can't catch me!
Can't catch me!
No, you can't, you can't catch me,
I'm wearing green, you see!

Have You Seen a Leprechaun?
to the tune of "The Muffin Man"

Oh, have you seen a leprechaun,
A leprechaun, a leprechaun?
Oh, have you seen a leprechaun
That came from Ireland?

Oh, yes I've seen a leprechaun,
A leprechaun, a leprechaun!
Oh, yes I've seen a leprechaun
That came from Ireland!

Where did you see a leprechaun,
A leprechaun, a leprechaun?
Where did you see a leprechaun
That came from Ireland?

I spied him in the forest green,
The forest green, the forest green.
I spied him in the forest green,
The tiniest man I've seen.

How Many Leprechauns?
to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb"

How many leprechauns do you see?
Do you see? Do you see?
How many leprechauns do you see?
Count them now with me!

(Count leprechaun pictures aloud.)

I'm a Little Shamrock
to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot" (original author unknown)

I'm a little shamrock, (Hold fingers close together to represent something tiny.)
See my leaves. (Close one eye, and pretend to look through magnifying glass.)
Count my petals, (Symbolize counting on fingers.)
If you please.
If you give me water and lots of sun, (Pretend to pour water.)
I'll bring you good luck and lots of fun! (Smile.)

I'm a Little Leprechaun
to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot" (original author unknown)

I'm a little leprechaun
Dressed in green,
The tiniest man
You've ever seen.
If you ever catch me, so it's told,
I will give you my pot of gold!

Leprechaun Dancing
to the tune of "Skip to My Lou"

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance to the right.
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance to the right.
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance to the right.
Dance to the right,
My green friend.

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance to the left.
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance to the left.
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance to the left.
Dance to the left,
My green friend.

Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance all around.
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance all around.
Leprechaun, leprechaun,
Dance all around.
Dance all around,
My green friend.

Leprechauns Are Marching
to the tune of "London Bridge"

Leprechauns are marching round,
Marching round, marching round.
Leprechauns are marching round,
How they love to play!

Leprechauns are speeding up,
Speeding up, speeding up,
Leprechauns are speeding up,
How they love to play!

Leprechauns now run in place,
Run in place, run in place,
Leprechauns now run in place,
How they love to play!

Leprechauns are leaping high,
Leaping high, leaping high,
Leprechauns are leaping high,
How they love to play.

Leprechauns are slowing down,
Slowing down, slowing down,
Leprechauns are slowing down,
How they love to play!

Leprechauns are tiptoeing,
Tiptoeing, Tiptoeing,
Leprechauns are tiptoeing,
How they love to play!

Leprechauns are sitting down,
Sitting down, sitting down,
Leprechauns are sitting down,
Sitting quietly! Shhhh!

St. Patrick's Day
to the tune of "Skip to My Lou"

Let's wear green and dance a jig,
Let's wear green and dance a jig,
Let's wear green and dance a jig,
On St. Patrick's Day.

Let's find a clover with four leaves,
Let's find a clover with four leaves,
Let's find a clover with four leaves,
On St. Patrick's Day.

Let's look for leprechauns on their way,
Let's look for leprechauns on their way,
Let's look for leprechauns on their way,
On St. Patrick's Day.

Let's search for gold at the rainbow's end,
Let's search for gold at the rainbow's end,
Let's search for gold at the rainbow's end,
On St. Patrick's Day.

Nine Little Shamrocks
to the tune of "Ten Little Indians"

One little, two little, three little shamrocks,
Four little, five little, six little shamrocks,
Seven little, eight little, nine little shamrocks,
Growing in a field.

They need rain and they need sunshine,
So they raise their pretty faces nine,
Up from the soil and into the sky,
Day after day, me oh my!
