Two pages. Page 1 is the board, a numbered shamrock path from START to the pot of gold with Go ahead 2, Go back 2 and Roll again spaces. Page 2 has the rules for 2 to 4 players, a fold-up die and 4 counters.
Can I use the Race to the Pot of Gold Board Game at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many Kindergarten to 2nd Grade St. Patrick's Day resources are there?
⌄
18 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 96 St. Patrick's Day resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our St. Patrick's Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are St. Patrick's Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for Kindergarten to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 5-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these St. Patrick's Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Kindergarten to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
