How to Catch a Leprechaun – I Am the Leprechaun (Speaking Activity)

This ESL speaking activity is part of the Book Companions series based on the children’s book How to Catch a Leprechaun.

Students look at the picture, imagine they are the leprechaun, and complete the sentences aloud. This role-play task encourages creativity while practising simple sentence structure and St. Patrick’s Day vocabulary in context.

What students practise

  • Speaking: role-play and speaking in the first person
  • Grammar: present continuous and simple sentence patterns
  • Vocabulary: St. Patrick’s Day words (leprechaun, gold, trap, rainbow)
  • Fluency: completing sentence starters smoothly

Designed for A1–A2 ESL learners, this activity works perfectly as part of a full How to Catch a Leprechaun Book Companion lesson for St. Patrick’s Day.
