16 St. Patrick’s Day Party Games For Kids

16 St. Patrick’s Day Party Games For Kids

It’s that time of year when everything turns a shade of green and there’s magic in the air—St. Patrick’s Day!

While many think of parades, shamrocks, and pots of gold, St. Patrick’s Day party games for kids can bring the day to life in a unique and unforgettable way.

Whether you’re planning a fun family gathering or inviting the neighborhood kids over for some holiday fun, incorporating creative party games can take your St. Patrick’s Day celebration to the next level.

Not only do they keep kids entertained, but they also foster joy, laughter, and memories that everyone will cherish.

This guide will walk you through why St. Patrick’s Day party games for kids are such a fantastic idea and how you can create a festive, engaging celebration with minimal stress.

Fun St. Patrick’s Day Party Games Your Kids Will Love

Excited to get started?

Here are some playful and easy-to-set-up games that will have the kids entertained for hours.

Leprechaun Treasure Hunt

Hide gold coins (chocolate or plastic) around the party area, and give each child a small “treasure bag.”

Create a simple map with clues to help them hunt down the leprechaun’s treasure.

Turn it into a friendly competition to see who can find the most coins!

Pro Tip: Add a bonus prize for discovering a special object, like a rainbow-painted rock or a hidden four-leaf clover.

Pin the Hat on the Leprechaun

This adorable twist on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” is a guaranteed hit.

Create or buy a large poster of a leprechaun without his hat.

Use blindfolds to make it extra fun as each player tries to “pin” the hat in the right spot.

Shamrock Ring Toss

Make a DIY ring toss game with green pool noodles bent into shamrock shapes and secure them on the ground.

Use small hoops or rings for kids to toss and aim for the shamrocks.

It’s active, creative, and perfect for kids of all ages.

Rainbow Relay Race

Create teams and set up a relay race featuring rainbow-colored items.

For example, have kids dress up in green hats, carry a “pot of gold” bucket, or balance a rainbow balloon between their knees.

A hilarious and high-energy game the whole group will love!

Leprechaun Freeze Dance

Play Irish music (or any lively tunes), and have the kids dance around.

When the music stops, they must freeze like statues.

The last one to freeze is “out.” The winner gets to wear a leprechaun hat for the next round!

St. Paddy’s Day Bingo

Print out Irish-themed bingo cards with symbols like shamrocks, pots of gold, leprechaun hats, and rainbows.

Kids can mark off items as they’re called out.

Add some green M&Ms for “markers” and offer small prizes for the winners.
