ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten The Luckiest St. Patrick’s Day Ever – Children’s Stories Read Aloud
Good morning! Today is March 17, and it’s a special day called St. Patrick’s Day. The leprechaun family is wearing their green clothes, ready for a big parade. Do you want to join them? Let’s go!
Look, there’s Balila! She’s walking with Granddaddy Dan, and they’re both so happy. Balila has a special stick called a shillelagh. Timothy, Shaw, and Nessie are also marching. They have a big pot of gold with them!
Here comes Aunt Rose! She’s tapping her toes and holding a shamrock, which is a little green plant. Johnny and Jack are playing drums, and everyone is dancing a fun dance called an Irish jig. Even the pig is dancing!
After the parade, it’s time to eat! They have a tasty meal with mulligan stew and green apple punch. Katie is helping by cutting cabbage and shelling peas. Lots of friends and family come to visit, and there’s plenty of food for everyone!
The Caseys, McGregorys, O’Grady, and Peg Fane all come to join the fun. The house is full of people, and everyone is happy to be together. The leprechauns gather around the table, ready to eat a big meal.
Before they start eating, they have a special wish to share: “May the luck of the Irish be with you today!”
Everyone is having a wonderful time. Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you, too!
Color Hunt: Go on a green color hunt around your home or classroom! Find as many green items as you can, just like the leprechauns wearing their green clothes. Count how many green things you find and share them with your friends or family. Can you find something green that you can wear?
Irish Jig Dance Party: Put on some music and try to dance an Irish jig like Aunt Rose and the others in the parade. Invite your friends or family to join you. How does the music make you feel? Can you make up your own dance moves to the music?
Make a Shamrock Craft: Use green paper, scissors, and glue to make your own shamrock, just like the one Aunt Rose was holding. You can decorate it with glitter or stickers. Once you’re done, think about why shamrocks might be special on St. Patrick’s Day. Can you find a place to display your shamrock at home?

*By Teddy Slater, Illustrated by Ethan Long*
Top of the morning! It’s March 17, and the leprechaun family is dressed in green. The St. Patrick’s parade is about to begin. The little ones are marching—come on, let’s join in! There goes Balila, leading the clan arm in arm with Granddaddy Dan. She swings her shillelagh as they walk and talk cheerfully, moving as fast as they can. Timothy, Shaw, Nessie—handsome and bold—marches along with a big pot of gold.
And here comes Aunt Rose, tapping her toes with a shamrock in hand as she follows the band, decked out in her very best clothes. Johnny and Jack play the fifth drum, kicking up their heels in a lively Irish jig. Everyone’s dancing—even the pig!
After the march, it’s back home for lunch: mulligan stew and green apple punch. Katie cuts the cabbage and shells the peas while the mischievous children play around. Friends and family keep coming to visit—there’s plenty of food for everyone!
The Caseys, McGregorys, O’Grady, and Peg Fane—everyone’s welcome, so please come in! Ladies and lassies stream through the door until there’s no room for anyone more. The leprechauns crowd around the dining room table, piling their plates as high as they can.
But before they dig in, they have one thing to say: “May the luck of the Irish be with you today!”
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
