We collected some great St. Patrick's Day rhymes, songs and book suggestions for you.
Oh, Have You Seen a Leprechaun
(Tune: “Muffin Man”)
Oh, have you seen the leprechaun,
the leprechaun, the leprechaun,
Have you seen the the leprechaun who comes from Ireland?
Among the shamrocks he may hide,
he may hide, he may hide,
Among the shamrocks he may hide
So catch him if you can!
I'm a little leprechaun
(Tune:”I'm a Little Teapot")
Dressed in green,
The tiniest man
That you have ever seen.
If you ever catch me, so it's told,
I'll give you my pot of gold.
Let's Wear Green
(Tune: "Mulberry Bush")
Let's wear green and dance a jig,
dance a jig, dance a jig,
Let's wear green and dance a jig
On St. Patrick's Day.
All join hands and circle round,
Circle round, circle round.
All join hands and circle round
On St. Patrick's Day.
Twirl your partner round about,
Round about, round about,
Twirl your partner round about
On St. Patrick's Day.
(Jean Warren)
Five Little Leprechauns Finger Play
Author Unknown
Five little leprechauns scurrying by my door,
One jumped away, then there were four.
Four little leprechauns, climbing in my tree,
One hid in the green leaves, then there were three.
Three little leprechauns, just a busy few,
One went for a pot of gold, then there were two.
Two little leprechauns, having lots of fun,
One hopped over the rainbow, then there was one.
One little leprechaun, with all his work down.
He slipped off for a nap, then there were none.
