Students will keep the left half of their leprechaun and switch their right half with another student (if your students are confused on the whole left and right concept, you can tell them they will be switching the half with the smile).

After the switching is complete, have your students glue the two halves to a piece of green construction paper. Then have them fill out the label provided here with the name they chose for their new leprechaun and their own names. Lisa also provides the leprechaun worksheet divided in fourths if you think your kiddos already have a strong grasp on the 1/2 fraction. What a cute and festive way to practice fractions!
