Leprechaun traps are in the making at AOMF

 How to Catch a Leprechaun at AOMF



Be the first to catch a leprechaun at AOMF!

Make a Leprechaun Trap

 

 

 1. Gather all kinds of scrap material to make the perfect leprechaun trap. Suggestions: small boxes, yarn, plastic spoons, bags, string, “bait,” spools, paper cups, pieces of wood, straw, cardboard, anything shiny.

2. Design the trap. Sketch out your plan. Decide how you want to attract a leprechaun and eventually catch him. Be clever, smart and tricky!

3. Build the trap. Use tape, glue, or string to make your trap “leprechaun tight!” Don’t make it too big- remember you’re catching a tiny leprechaun, not a giant!

4. Be ready to explain how your trap works. Use your trap to demonstrate. 5. Bring your trap to school on Monday, March 17th and we will see who can catch the leprechaun that night!

**Hint: Leprechauns are tricky fellows- they like shiny things, things that shimmer. They are often naughty and disobey signs. If you’re not sure where to start you should search for leprechaun traps online and you will find a lot of examples.

Have fun!

Best of Luck,
