St Patrick’s Day Addition Riddles
My kids love puns and riddles and jokes. Even really silly jokes can often elicit a smile.
So I love to include them in our school work.
St Patrick’s Day
St Patrick’s Day isn’t one of the major holidays but it’s still a fun day!
We typically have fun by dressing up in green and eating rainbow foods.
My favorite part of St Patrick’s Day is that I can use it as a fun theme to get my kids more excited about math.
And I’m loving this idea in creating a Leprechaun trap and then adding fake green footprints. This tutorial on how to make leprechaun footprints should be a great help!

How to Use the St Patrick’s Day Addition Riddle Set
Materials Needed:
- Scissors
- Pen/Pencil/Marker
There are two pages for each joke/riddle. The first page has the addition problems on cards with a letter in a black rectange in the top left corner.
The second page has the joke/riddle written out with numbers in boxes.
Start by cutting out the cards on the page with the addition problems.
Leave the page with the joke/riddle and numbers in tact.
Once the cards are cut out, have your child solve the addition problems and write the sum on the card.
Then have them match the sum on each card to the large number on the joke/riddle page.
Once all of the cards are on the page, write the letter from the top left corner on the space at the bottom of the page – make sure to put them in the correct order!
