St Patricks Day GamesSt Patty's Day parties may not happen everywhere but these St Patricks Day Games will come in handy if your family or classroom celebrates this lucky holiday. A very simple game that can be played by Preschoolers or High Schoolers. Just make the bigger kids stand farther back from the pot to play. You will need:
The rules are easy. Every player gets three coins. They stand at the toss line (put a strip of masking tape on the floor that can not be crossed). The player that gets the most coins on the pot wins. If more than one player gets three coins in, have "toss offs" until you've narrowed it down to one winner. Add an Irish twist to a simple scavenger hunt. You Will Need:
Make a rainbow out of the construction paper. Attach the rainbow to the chocolate and hide the whole thing. Make up a simple scavenger hunt leading players from clue to clue until they finally find the gold at the end of the rainbow. You can split your group into teams and have a rainbow for each. Make sure each rainbow has enough "gold" for everyone on the team. Another simple game where teams of two work together to score gold. You Will Need:
Give traditional Hot Potato an Irish twist by using a regular old "blarney" stone and some Irish music. You will need:
Have players sit on the floor in a circle and start the music. They pass the blarney stone around the circle until the music stops. The player holding the stone when the music stops is out. Keep this up until only one player is left. Easiest St Patricks Day Game of all to create. You will need:
Using the green construction paper draw three big shamrock leaves and glue them onto the poster board in the shamrock shape. Using the same green paper cut out enough shamrock stems for every player and write their names on them. Roll a small piece of tape and attach to the back of each stem. One at a time, blindfold each player, spin, then let them take a turn at "pinning" in the stem to the shamrock. The player that gets their stem closest to the right spot wins. You will need:
Hide the fools gold all around and have guests search. You can give clues or just send them out looking. They can collect their gold in their leprechaun hats. The player who comes back with the heaviest hat wins.
