How to Catch a Leprechaun
Name ________________________________ Date _________________ Class _____
Leprechauns Legend says that Leprechauns are shoemakers (also called cobblers).
Curiously enough, they only make one of each type of shoe. It is said that
you can tell a Leprechaun is nearby if you hear the tapping of their
hammers.
Each Leprechaun also has a pot of gold! Some say they bury it in secret places
only Leprechauns can reach; others say they hide it at the end of the rainbow.
Though one thing is for sure, if you catch a Leprechaun, he will lead you to his
pot of gold and give it to you as a bribe to let him go.
Leprechauns are small in size, and some say they look like a tiny, old man in a
top hat and red beard. They are tricky fellows and like to play pranks on
unsuspecting people, so you must be creative when deciding on a way to try
to catch him. You can try to lure him to you and grab him, or you can try to
build a Leprechaun trap to capture him in. If you are lucky enough to capture
a Leprechaun, your work is not done yet! Legend says you cannot take your
eyes off the Leprechaun for even a second or he will disappear.
Catching a Leprechaun Writing Activity Your job will be to catch a Leprechaun. The only question is how? Brainstorm at least ten
ways that you could catch a Leprechaun. Please be specific. Write your ideas in the chart
below or on a loose-leaf piece of paper. After you come up with your 10 ideas, choose one
and write step-by-step directions on how it would work. You must have at least 10 steps.
Included in your directions must be an illustration. Good luck and happy catching!!
