St Patrick was born in Scotland in 385 A.D.Free powerpoints at http://www.worldofteaching.com

He became a priest

He went to Ireland to teach people about God.

Some say he drove all the snakes out of Ireland.

Others say he used shamrocks to teach about the Trinity

He died March 17 in 461 A.D.

Leprechauns are unfriendly and possess a pot of gold.

If you find a Leprechaun, you can trick him into showing you his gold.

But if you dont watch the leprechaun very carefully, he and the gold will disappear!

Today Americans march in parades

Dance the Irish Jig

Dye rivers green

And of course, many people drink lots of beer!

People wear green in memory of Ireland

Some also wear Clover/Shamrocks.

If you find a four-leaf clover you will have good luck.

Happy Saint Patricks Day!
