St. Patrick's Day Games

Most St. Patrick’s Day celebrations involve a trip downtown to see the parade, bar hopping, and other green filled activities!  Well this year, keep it local and throw a St. Patrick’s Day party!  Here are some great games, contests, and activities for your St. Patty’s Day party.

Gold Coin Hunt   

• Gold or yellow construction paper
• Scissors
• Markers
• Black cauldrons or pots

This is played just like an Easter Egg hunt, but with a twist!  With the construction paper cut out ‘coins’ and on each coin write a rule.  Here are some examples:

• Take 1 shot
• Assign 1 shot to another player
• In an Irish/Leprechaun accent you must say ‘Lucky me! A Gold coin’ each time you find a coin, anytime you don’t a coin will be taken away.
• If you found this coin, give 2 coins to the person nearest you.
• To keep this coin, sing the lyric “Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so!” 3 times out loud.
• This game will need a referee to make sure the players are performing their rules.  The person with the most coins wins!

Irish St. Pat’s Day Contests

• Potato Peel – Who can peel the most potatoes in 5 minutes.
• Irish Beer & Whiskey Tasting – Most correct guesses wins.
• Best St. Pat’s Costume – Vote to determine the best dressed Irishman (or woman)!
• The Greenest – The one wearing the most green at the party wins.
• Best Irish Jig – Play an Irish song that competitors can dance to!
• Best Irish Accent – Come up with a couple Irish phrases/sayings for the competitors to say.  No natives!
• Guess that Irish Song Name – Get a couple of snippets of Irish songs and play them for the contestants.

The Party Girl suggests that you create scorecards to tally votes for each contest!

St. Pat’s Day Drinking Games - with green beer of course!

• Irish Quarters – Fill a cup (or half a cup) with beer and then spin a quarter. The players must only drink when they’re quarter is spinning and re-spin until they have finished their beer.  First one done wins.
• Beer Pong – Played the traditional ‘house rules’ way, but with green beer of course!
• Flip cup – Played like the traditional game with ‘house rules’ and green beer.
• Ringbeer – Played just like beer pong, but with beer bottles and you have to use rings or beads and throw them around the beer bottles.

(‘House rules’ just means that there are many forms of the game; play it however you would usually play it!)
