ST. PATRICK’S DAY TREASURE HUNT

Materials needed:
Handful of gold chocolate coins

Directions:

This treasure hunt is very similar in nature to an Easter egg hunt or scavenger hunt.
Hide the gold coins throughout one room in the home such as the living room or den. If the weather is nice out, you can choose to hide the chocolate outdoors in a designated area.
Let your guests loose to find the chocolate coins.
The person who collects the most coins wins a cool prize. Prize ideas include an Irish history book or bottle of Jameson’s whiskey.

HOT POTATO DRINKING GAME

Materials needed:
Potato
Guinness, Beer or Irish whiskey
Shot glasses

Directions:

This is a new twist on the classic game of Hot Potato.
You can use a plain potato or add some creativity to it by drawing shamrocks on it.
Have all the guests sit in a circle, each of them holding a shot glass.
One person is chosen to sit in the middle of the circle, with the potato.
Play some Irish or Celtic music.
The center person hands the potato to someone in the circle, while the music begins playing.
The potato is passed around until the music stops.
The person holding the potato when the music stops must take a shot of beer or whiskey and leaves the circle.
The game keeps going until there is only one person left and is declared the winner.
The winner gets to keep the potato and gets a cool prize like an Irish Tenor’s CD, Irish candies or case of Guinness.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY SCAVENGER HUNT

Materials needed:
Printed list of items to find.

Directions:

Make a list of 8 to 10 items that need to be found. They can be things that naturally exist in the party area, or things you add like a small pot of gold or a leprechaun figurine.
Some ideas of objects to find: Something green, empty beer glass, shamrock, person wearing a St. Patrick's Day t-shirt, green food, lucky charm, gold coin, rainbow, leprechaun trap, etc.
Let your guests search individually or in teams.
Whoever finds all the items first wins. Alternatively, set a time limit and whoever finds the most items in that time wins.

Now that you have your games planned, check out these great ideas for the rest of your St. Patrick's Day party planning!
