How to prep the St. Patrick’s Day Flashlight Letter/Number Game
- Print the letter/number cards and the shamrock pages.
- Using a glue stick, glue the shamrock page on top of the letters/numbers page.
- Cut out the St. Patrick’s Day Flashlight letter/number cards.
- Optionally, but strongly recommended for classrooms, laminate the cards for durability.
- Provide a flashlight, chips or pencil and a recording page of your choice.
Note: I recommend printing the St. Patrick’s Day Flashlight Letter/Number cards on card stock paper. Regular printer paper will work, however, the letters and numbers will show through slightly on the shamrock side.
