What the March 17 list covers

The words are about the colors and symbols of the day (green, gold, a coin, a rainbow, clover and the shamrock), about the parade (a band, a drum, a flag, a harp and dancing), and about wishing and luck. Ireland is on the list as a place name. There are no folklore characters, no drinking words and nothing that makes Irish people a joke.

Questions and answers

Is shamrock spelled out on the sheets?

Yes. Shamrock is on the print sheet and the cursive sheet, and clover is on the list too, since many people use the two words for the same plant.

Why are there no folklore characters on the list?

This list leaves out characters from stories and legends and anything that turns a people into a joke, so the words keep to colors, the parade, music, luck and March.

Which St. Patrick's Day sheet has the shortest words?

Big letters: green, gold, coin, hat, harp and drum, words of three to five letters at the Ages 3-4 size.

Can I print a St. Patrick's Day word search instead?

Yes. It has its own page with three puzzles and their answer pages. This page is tracing only.

Why do Ireland and March start with a capital?

Ireland is the name of a country and March the name of a month, and both are always written with a capital letter. The other sixteen words are lowercase.
