• Use pages 2-3 of the issue to do this scavenger hunt as a group.

1. Encuentra el titular. Subráyalo.
2. Encuentra la foto en la que el bote mezcla los polvos en el río. Ponle un ✔.
3. En el recuadro azul, encuentra la palabra que significa "perder color". Rodéala.

Skill: STEAM

Materials: Cómo atrapar a un duende skill sheet, recyclables, classroom building manipulatives, and “carnada para duendes” (gold coins, green art materials)

• Use any combination of recyclables (yogurt cups, cardboard tubes, boxes, pipe cleaners) and manipulatives (blocks, connecting cubes, LEGO® bricks) for this superfun STEAM project!
• Project the printable. Discuss the tips together. Separate kids into small groups. Encourage them to think about how the trap will work, as well as what they will use to lure the leprechauns in!
• Leave the traps out the day before St. Patrick’s Day. You can leave signs of a leprechaun’s visit for kids to find the next morning, like gold coins, green beads, even a note!
