How this list was compiled: These St. Patrick's Day words and pattern rows were written for this site and sorted by topic, from green things and gold to the rainbow, the parade and Ireland. No list was copied and no named character is on it; the leprechaun is named once, as a figure of folk tales. The facts in the notes (the date, the shamrock, the harp) were checked in October 2026 against English Wikipedia, among them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Day and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamrock, and spellings against Wiktionary, https://en.wiktionary.org/.

One page, with room to draw

Questions and answers

Do the sheets have shamrocks or rainbows to color?

No pictures print, only letters on guide lines; the child draws the shamrock, the rainbow or the pot of gold in the empty row under each word.

Is the leprechaun on the worksheets?

As one word to trace, with the note that a leprechaun is a small figure in Irish folk tales, not a real person. No sheet says one is real, and no named character appears.

Is there St. Patrick's Day math for kindergarten too?

Yes. St. Patrick's Day math worksheets has kindergarten sheets that count leaves and add gold coins within 10, under Sheet type. This page is words to trace only.

When is St. Patrick's Day?

March 17, every year. March and seventeen are on the list to trace, and many people wear green on the day, which is why the page opens on that word.
