Song

We Are the Leprechauns
(Tune: "We Are The Dinosaurs")

We are the Leprechaun, dancing, dancing.
We are the Leprechauns, what do you think of that?
We are the Leprechauns, dancing, dancing.
We wear a green hat, we wear a green hat.

And when we're feeling bold, we stoop and look for gold,
Yes, when we're feeling bold, we stop and look for gold.
We stop  and look for gold, then you hear us say... Ahye shamrocks.
We are the Leprechauns, dancing, dancing.
We are the Leprechauns, what do you think of that?
We are the Leprechauns, dancing, dancing.
We wear a green hat, we wear a green hat.

Song

Leprechaun Where Are You?
(Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star")

Leprechaun, Leprechaun,
where are you?
I tried to catch you,
but away you flew.
I'm going to get you just wait and see!
Then all your gold will belong to me!

Leprechaun, Leprechaun, where are you?

Fingerplay

Eensy Weensy Leprechaun

An eensy weensy leprechaun
Came out for St. Patrick's Day
To look for the gold
that was hidden far away
over the rainbow was where he was told
So, with a wink of his green eye
he ran for the gold.

Flannel board Rhyme

Five Little Shamrocks

1 green shamrock, in the morning dew,
Another one sprouted, and then there were two.
2 green shamrocks, growing beneath a tree;
Another one sprouted and then there were three.
3 green shamrocks, by the cottage door;
Another one sprouted, and then there were four.
4 green shamrocks, near a beehive
Another on sprouted, and then there were five.
5 little shamrocks, bright and emerald green,
Think of all the luck the shamrocks will bring.
