St. Patrick's Day is a great holiday to celebrate with a festive party. Play St. Patrick's Day games at your party and keep all of your guests entertained for hours. Follow these steps to learn a few St. Patrick's Day games and how to play them.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Potato
  • Shamrock cutouts
  • Candy
  • Jar
  1. Step 1

    Play hot potato with a "leprechaun" sitting in the middle of the circle. The "leprechaun" throws a potato to someone in the circle and then closes her eyes.

  2. Step 2

    Pass the potato around the circle until the "leprechaun" shouts shamrock. The player holding the potato loses and must sit out. The game continues until only one player is left. The winner then becomes the "leprechaun" for the next round.

  3. Step 3

    Hop to the finish line in the game of "shamrock hop." You need two shamrock cutouts for each team.

  4. Step 4

    Form teams of two with one partner standing on the starting line. Teams are given two shamrock cutouts. Your partner places a shamrock in front of you. You then hop onto the shamrock. He then grabs the shamrock that you just jumped from and puts it in front of you. Quickly move the shamrocks from behind your partner to in front of your partner all the way to the finish line.

  5. Step 5

    Guess the number of green candies in a jar. Fill a jar with green candies and then let all your guests guess how many are in the jar. The winner gets to take the candy home.
