ST PATRICK’s DAY FUN
With St Patrick’s Day fast approaching I thought it would be a good idea to outline a few party games and party bag ideas. It goes without saying that any St Patrick’s Day celebration should be very green and very Irish. All the games I suggest are just variations on tradditional games that you will be familiar with.
PIN THE GREEN TAIL ON THE LEPRECHAUN
Get a big picture of a Leprechaun. It should be easy enough to download from the internet or you could cut one from a magazine. Place the picture on a wall. Blindfold each guest in turn and get them to stick a tail or a shamrock on the leprechaun. Whoever gets closest to the designated spot wins. You can have all sorts of variations on this game.
POT OF GOLD THROW.
Leprechauns are famous for hording a pot of gold so why not incoproate the pot of gold into a party game. Make a pot by covering a plant holder or other such object with foil or whatever takes your fancy. Then get the guests to line up and toss a bean bag or “money bag” into the pot. Give the guests three turns and whoever get his / her bag into the pot the most number of times wins. Simple yet effective.
Of course don’t forget the party bags. Make sure they are green. If you are having difficulty getting green bags then cellopane bags tied at the top with a green ribbon and balloon are just as effective.
