La Saint-Patrick | Exercices | Casse-têtes

Let’s celebrate la Saint-Patrick with these worksheets and puzzles. Learning to write, count, compare quantities and recognize letters and words is a lot of fun. With the activities provided in this resource, young children will be engaged while training their fine muscles and building their early math and writing skills. The worksheets with some symbols of la Saint-Patrick will enable children to trace letters (with directional arrows), count (addition to 10), compare quantities and colour. The puzzles will reinforce morphological awareness in children by recognizing letters and associating pictures with their corresponding words and the initial letter (uppercase and lowercase) of the words. It sounds like fun, doesn’t it? This product also includes a colourful poster for la Saint-Patrick. The puzzles come in colour and B/W.

• Farfadet/lutin
• Arc-en-ciel
• Trèfle
• Botte
• Pot/marmite
• Mars
• Chapeau

These sheets provide the following skills altogether:

• Recognizing letters
• Tracing a number (with arrows that show proper number formation)
• Comparing quantities (more or less)
• Adding numbers up to 10
• Colouring some symbols of la Saint-Patrick

✏️ Puzzles that focus on associating pictures to their corresponding words and the initial lowercase and uppercase letter of the words – each puzzle has 4 pieces (picture – word – lowercase initial – uppercase initial).

Here is the list of words for the puzzles:

• Un arc-en-ciel
• Une botte
• Un drapeau
• Un farfadet/un lutin
• Un fer à cheval
• Une harpe
• Une marmite d’or
• Une pièce d’or
• Un trèfle

Variations are included in both the worksheets and the puzzles for consistency. For example, in order to avoid repetitive initials in the puzzle game (f for farfadet and fer à cheval), the puzzle pieces for ‘lutin’ could be used. Then you are free to choose between the worksheets for ‘farfadet’ and ‘lutin’ in case you don’t want to introduce two words meaning the ‘same or similar’ to your young learners.
