ST. PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATION

Some activities to have fun with St. Patty!

St. Patrick's Day Bingo

These St. Patrick's Day bingo cards can be printed off for any number of children. The cards refresh on the screen with random numbers.

Note: In our version of a bingo game you do not call off the letters. Print the numbers sheet below and only call the numbers. The same numbers sheet can be used with any of our bingo games.

For more lucky ideas, check out our entire selection of kid's St. Patrick's Day crafts.


What you'll need:

Computer

Printer

Printer paper or card stock (print off on light green paper if desired)

Printable bingo cards (see below)

Scissors

Green-colored candies or other markers (see tips for ideas)

Clear self-adhesive shelf paper (recommended: Con-Tact paper) or laminate (optional)

Bowl

Cardboard (optional)

Glue, optional

How to make it:

Print a page of St. Patrick's Day Lucky Bingo cards

If you experience printing problems: Try to use the 'shrink to fit' print option to get them to print on the page. Or try changing the font size to something smaller by going to the "View" menu in your browser and increase or decrease the font size. If that fails to help, you can print the page in 'landscape' mode and get two complete cards per page instead of four.

Now refresh your browser. The page now displays new random numbers!

Print the page again.

Be sure to print off enough playing cards for each child to have one.

If desired, cover with clear self-adhesive paper or laminate to be able to reuse the cards again next year.

Print a page of bingo numbers. HINT: Print off on card stock or glue to cardboard to give the numbers stability.

Cut the numbers apart on the lines.

Place the numbers in a bowl.

Give each child a bingo card and a handful of markers (see tips below).

Reach into the bowl, call out a number and the children place a marker on the number if it appears on their card.

Play the game just like regular bingo. Play for 5 in a row across, down, diagonally, or even play blackout by covering all the numbers on the card

Tips:Number markers can be holiday candy, punched circles from card stock, flat buttons, or any small item of which you have a multitude!

If your an animal then tear up the floor
Break a sweat on the floor

Pick your body up and drop it on the floor
Let the rhythm change your world on the floor
You know we’re running sh*t tonight on the floor

If you’re a criminal kill it on the floor
Steal it quick on the floor, on the floor

Economy and Politics Vocabulary

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHOLE and ALL

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHOLE and ALL / Diferencias entre WHOLE y ALL

1.- 'Whole' has the sense of 'complete' and 'all' indicates every part of something.
 For example if we mean from the beginning of the day until the end of the day, we would say: the whole day.

 We can also say: all (the) afternoon, which suggests every part of the afternoon. Briefly the difference is that 'whole' refers to the entirety of something whereas 'all' refers in particular to all the parts/bits that make up the afternoon.
In this sentence: Charlie ate the whole cake, there is simply an indication that the complete cake was eaten. Charlie ate all the cake (all of the cake) suggests that possibly it was surprising that he did that because it was a big cake and he managed to consume every single bit of the cake.


2.- When discussing one object, discussing the object in its entirety, use whole.

Example--The whole airplane shook with the turbulence.
When discussing many of the same object, use all.
Example--All the airplanes were delayed because of the storm.

3.- The word “all” is used with countable or uncountable nouns to refer to 100% of many things.
For example:

All of my furniture is from Ikea. (uncountable)
I bought all of my plates from ABC department store. (countable)
The words “whole” and “entire” mean 100% of one thing. It is used with countable nouns.

For example:

I ate the whole pie by myself. I’m so full right now.
I spent the entire day watching TV and drinking beer. It was great

Spanish Explanation:

(Básicamente usamos WHOLE para hablar de un objeto por completo; y usamos ALL para referirnos a todo de muchas cosas.
WHOLE : Me he leído el libro completo. ( todo de un objeto , el libro)
ALL: Me he comprado todo para esquiar ( todos los elementos necesarios para hacer esquí))
