• Memory game
• Mini basketball game
• Minute to win it
• Go Green game
• Shamrock shake
• Dice fun

1. Pot of gold coins:

This is a great game idea for both kids and adults. Fish out a nice cauldron or pot. Anything you used as a Halloween decoration could work well.

Place the pot against a wall and mark a line a few yards away. People will take turns trying to throw chocolate coins into the pot. Keep the activity timed for a minute or two per person.

All the coins that fall into the pot within that time can be taken by the thrower. The winner is the one who threw the most in.

2. Scavenger hunt:

A good old scavenger hunt keeps the kids running around in excitement while the adults can sit around and relax. Make it interesting with clues, hints, and challenging place to find the hidden goodies.

This will work great as a two-team activity with the winner being the one who finds the mega treasure or the big stash of candies or gold coins, or instead, the most coins in the hunt.

A prize along with the opportunity to keep the candies each kid collected makes it as exciting as a Halloween trick or treating.

3. Memory game:

A memory game is a great way to keep the kids engaged. There are different versions of this game.

In one version, you can buy or make your own matching cards based on the St. Patrick’s Day theme and give each kid turns at playing it and keeping score to see who does best.

In another version, you can place a set of green objects on the table and giving a minute to take a look at them and then cover it up and ask the kids to write down everything they remember.

4. Mini basketball game:

Prepare a mini basketball court with the help of simple items like cardboard, a hoop, and other basic items. You can use the internet as inspiration for setting it up.

You can make it all green to go with the spirit of the festival! Then buy a bunch of green plastic balls and let the kids and adults have fun trying to score points by throwing the balls through the hoop.

5. Minute to win it:

Mix up Lucky Charms cereal with small pieces of marshmallow in a big bowl. Then, every kid has to take a turn trying to pick up marshmallows from the heap with the help of a spoon in a minute.

The one who manages to pick out the most is the winner! Even though this seems like a game only for kids, you can also try it with adults by making it more challenging.

One way is to assign points only for a certain colour of marshmallow picked!

6. Go Green game:

Divide your guests into two teams and assign them a bucket each. The people should then go around collecting as many green items as possible.

The team with the most such items wins a prize.

7. Shamrock shake:

This is a great game for adults! Find a box and fill it up with little plastic balls and cut out a hole big enough for the balls to pass through.

Then punch holes and tie a string across the box.

8. Dice fun:

You can get special party game dice designed for St. Patrick’s Day. With the aim of getting the guests drunk as much as possible, be sure that you have a lot of drinks to pass around while playing this game.

Enjoy St. Patrick’s Day and make it memorable with games and activities for people of all ages.
