Use these Monkey flashcards to introduce your students to different words used on St. Patrick’s Day. Broaden their vocabulary using this monkey with cookies. This kind of activity will enhance their cultural awareness and understand the new language.

Do some spelling with the big flashcards and cutout letters. Students can recognize the letters in each word and replicate them.

Do the same but with the small cards included in the resource.

Have the students match the cookies small cards that the monkey has on his hands. Ask questions: What does the monkey have?

Students: a horseshoe and a lollipop!

Play St. Pat swatter. First make your swatter by attaching any St. Pat item to a wood rod. Here are mine.

Place all the small cards on a table and assign a number to each column, those would be the points they will get.

Name a card and the students will use their swatter to point to the card: a black pot!

Great! 5 points!

Use an egg holder and place all the cards.

Call on a card and have the students pick them: cupcake!

Just a few worksheets. Since this is a monkey with cookies resource, there is a cookie jar. Have the students read the colors and complete the cookies.

Give your students a brown bag for them to glue the cookie jar previously cut. The cookie should be cut as well.

Students will fill their cookie jar as they name each one: rainbow! Learners will solidify the new words in a fun way.

There is another worksheet that has a die. Games are a way to reinforce the vocabulary learned. Assign a color for each cookie on the die: color the clover green! Help the students cut and assemble the die.

 Have the students get together in pairs and throw their dice and see if the land the same to win a point. Give them a token each time they make a match. Students: a cookie! A cookie!
