Use this St. Patrick’s Day kidmin craft to explain the difference between luck and blessings. Teach Sunday school students that with God, we don’t need luck.

KidMin Craft for St. Patrick’s Day

Scripture: Matthew 5:3-11

What you’ll need:

  • Bibles
  • white cone-type coffee filters (4 per child)
  • blue and yellow washable markers
  • spray bottle with water
  • plastic tablecloth or tarp
  • 11×17 construction paper
  • cooling racks
  • glue sticks
  • black markers

Say: When we think about St. Patrick’s Day, we often think about good luck.

Ask:

  • What trinkets or items do people sometimes believe can bring good luck?

Say: One symbol of luck associated with St. Patrick’s Day is a four-leaf clover. Let’s make some four-leaf clovers as we learn about the difference between luck and blessings from God.

Color and spray coffee filters.

First have kids each color four coffee filters with blue and yellow washable markers, using more yellow than blue. Place the filters on newspaper or a tarp, and spray them with water. The colors will blend together. Then place the filters on a cooling rack to dry.

Read a Bible verse.

Form eight groups if possible, but keep at least two kids per group. If you can’t make eight groups, then assign groups additional verses. Have groups each look up one verse of Matthew 5:3-11. Invite willing students from each group to read aloud their verses in order so everyone can hear all verses.

Ask:

  • Explain whether the situation in your verse sounds lucky. 
  • What’s the difference between blessed and lucky?

Say: Let’s finish our four-leaf clovers. But rather than use them as a sign of good luck, let’s use them to thank God for his blessings.
