Looking for unique teacher lesson plan activities and resources for St. Patrick's Day? Here is a St. Patrick's Day word search puzzle with 3 twists to its solution:
1. a scrambled letters word clues twist;
2. most hidden words have a right angled turn in their letter paths; and
3. some of the word clues have more than one word in them BUT the scrambled letters do not always represent the number of letters in each word (e.g. the word clue: 'pot of gold' may have its letters scrambled to look like: 'toogl pfod')

-remember to record the correct spelling for each, as it helps to solve the puzzle more quickly
-locate each word clue in the grid
-draw a circle around each hidden word
-track progress by checking off each word as it is found
-remember that most words have a right hand turn in their letter paths
