I-103 OUTSMARTING THE LEPRECHAUNS

A Readers Theater Script for Intermediate/Advanced Readers

This is a great script for older readers to read aloud to younger children on St. Patricks Day! It is also a great script to read aloud any time you are studying Ireland!

SETTING: Set in the province of Munster, the County Clare district of Ireland, and near The Burren.

SYNOPSIS: An innkeeper and his very capable wife find their inn invaded by invisible leprechauns. Knowing that the little men love Boxty Cakes (Irish Potato Pancakes) and never eat breakfast, helps the pair outsmart their unwanted guests. For dinner, "Colcannon" is served on the lid of a jelly jar. Next evening, "Dublin Coddle" is served in half an egg shell. Finally "Boxty Cakes" are served in a sewing thimble.  This is all part of a devine plan to outsmart the invading leprechauns - and it works!  (A description and recipes for the three dishes mentioned here are included in the Teacher Version of this script).

EDUCATIONAL NOTES: This basic story is adapted from an old worldwide favorite! Here's the tale about a clever woman who rids her home of unwanted elfin invaders. Another version, "Eggshell Pudding" can be found in Tell Me Another Tale by Jean Chapman, Hodder and Stoughton (Australia), 1977.
