Morning Circle:
Review the letter "s" by asking the children if they
can repeat the name of the season learned about in
the previous lesson. When they say "Spring," take
out the "letter bag" filled with objects that begin with
"s." Begin by giving clues, such as "I have
something in my letter bag that begins with 's.' It's
sometimes white, sometimes smelly, and it fits on my
bare foot." The children might guess "sock" and
they may even say "shoe," which would also be
acceptable. Other "s" objects might include a
"seven," "spider," "starfish," "sun," "snake," and
"spoon."

from travel agencies.) Provide pillows and chairs and a
table with lots of glossy books on Ireland. Decorate area
with green and shamrocks, and have a few Irish
instruments placed there as well (tambourine, drum, and
whistles if you can ensure each child has her own, for
sanitary reasons.) Play Celtic music softly in the
background in this corner.
You can use this printable map of Ireland and let children
color it in using different shades of green. Let them color
the ocean surrounding too!

Have a "Green" center
Place lots of green natural objects on a table for
the children to examine. Use pine needles,
leaves, clover, greenish-hued rocks, flower
stems, broccoli, swatches of green fabric made of
natural fibers, etc. Lay out several magnifying
glasses and make sure the table is well-lit.

Little Green People
Blow up a green balloon for each child and sit the
balloons in bowls or shallow dishes so they sit upright.
Provide a container of shaving foam dyed green with
food coloring for each child. Let the children put "hair"
and "faces" on their balloons with the shaving foam. The
balloons will look like little green people. Note: This
activity is messy. Protect your learning area and the
children's clothing as needed.

Bible StoryTime:
Read, The Story of St. Patrick's Day, by Patricia A. Pingry.
Tell the children today's Bible lesson is about yet another "s"
word..."shamrock." Ask the children if they know what a shamrock is.
Take one out and show them. Explain that they might have seen
something similar in their yard called clover. Ask them how many leaves
a shamrock has. Ask them what color it is. Ask them if they remember
what holiday is coming soon that is all about shamrocks and the color
green. Explain that St. Patrick's Day is a very old holiday that celebrates
a famous Irish religious person. Tell the children, "St. Patrick used the
shamrock to show people about God. He said it can help us remember
that God is in three persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus,) and
God the Holy Spirit. This makes three important parts of one wonderful
God.

Bible Verse Bracelets:
Galations 4:6 "Since you are God's children, God sent the Spirit of his Son into
your hearts, and the Spirit cries out, 'Father.'" (New Century Version)
Explain again about how the three parts of the Trinity are mentioned in this verse,
and the implications of having the Holy Spirit in our hearts to cry out on our behalf
to our Abba Father.

Bible Song
"Three In One" (Tune: "Are You Sleeping, Brother John?")
Original Author Unknown.
"God the Father, God the Father, (hold up on finger)
God the Son, God the Son, (hold up two fingers)
God the Holy Spirit, God the Holy Spirit, (hold up three fingers)
Three in One, Three in One." (hold up three fingers on both hands)

God the Son, God the Son, (hold up two fingers)
God the Holy Spirit, God the Holy Spirit, (hold up three fingers)
Three in One, Three in One." (hold up three fingers on both hands)
When you look at the shamrock
or 3-leaf clover, you can
remember that God our Father
in Heaven sent His son Jesus
Christ to save us from our sin,
and then the Holy Spirit was sent to us to comfort us and guide us until Jesus comes back again. Three
wonderful things about our Heavenly Father!"
(Note for parents and teachers: As with most of our holidays, St. Patrick's Day has roots in Paganism. For
this reason this lesson will not focus on leprechauns, etc. The shamrock itself was originally used by druids
for the spiritual aspect of the triad. However, St. Patrick took this ancient symbol and used it as a means of
explaining Christianity to the pagans.)

| Tissue Paper Shamrocks Provide a cut-out shamrock for each child made from white construction or sketch paper. Give each child several shades of green tissue and crepe paper, cut into small squares (make sure these are the type that bleed color when wet.) Instruct the children to place the squares of green paper randomly on their shamrock Provide either spray bottles filled with water for each child, or a small bowl of water and soft paintbrush for each child. Let the children coat their creations with water. After the water has begun to dry out a bit, carefully peel off the paper to reveal the lovely green watercolors beneath.
