Do you think these activities will work for a St. Patrick’s day celebration?

1. I prepared vanilla cupcakes in St. Patrick’s Day holders. The kids get to put green frosting on the cupcakes and decorate them with them. Then the younger kids are going to help me with the shamrock cookies and the older kids get to make a Pot Of Gold jell-o.

2. Then we are making team shirts and hats. Since the older kids aren’t going to want to, we are letting them just make a hat for each kid (they just need to put a sponge shamrock on the top). The younger kids and decorate the shirt any way they like, using green and gold.

3. We go upstairs were going to play a relay game. I bought red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple streamers and am going to hang them to symbolize a rainbow. The kids will be broken into 2 lines and wait at one end of the rainbow. There will be a pot of gold and they will have to carry it to the other side of the rainbow and back. If they drop any gold, they have to….
pick and up and start their turn over.

4. To end it, there will be a leperchan hunt. I will put a trail of leperchan feet and
they will have a bunch of clues. Since it is going to be outside though the
neighborhood, which is why we made the shirts and hats.

Were also going to have corn beef and cabbage for dinner with some soda bread. I think I’m going to let my boys help me make dinner so they can learn a little about their culture because they are Irish.
No, actually I wanted to know if
a. Parents have anything to add
b. Parents think the older kids will like it.
c. Parents think younger kids will enjoy it too.
d. Parents have other ideas from anything!
I hope they do too! It is the first time we are going to do something like this!
Honest Mommy – I love that idea! I think it is so cute and I could give little prizes for every 4-leaf clover found! Very, very cute idea. I actually have a little spot way in the back of the yard with a ton of clovers so that would be the place to do it in.

Sounds like fun! The kids will love that. I wish I had the time and energy to plan a neat get together like that 🙂 The Leprechaun hunt sounds fun as well.

My husband and I are going to make a traditional Irish dinner and dessert to celebrate. He’s part Irish so this is one of his favorite holidays!

*Add*
What about having a four leaf clover hunt? Maybe you could buy a patch of clovers or find a clover patch nearby and have hunt for a four leaf clover. Also how about for the smaller kids, pin the leaf on the clover!

For the last few years, I have been making poached salmon with irish butter sauce. Does anyone have any other recipes for truly Irish fish dishes that I can use for St. Patricks Day. My family and I don’t eat any meats other than fish or shellfish, and my husband’s ancestry is Irish, but all of his older family members have passed on. I try to keep to traditional foods. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My class at school is planning a St. Patricks Day party for the Veteran’s at our local Veteran’s Home. What are some creative, St Patricks Day-themed activities we can do with them? Keep in mind we are on a limited budget.

Sew bean bags to look like gold pieces. Toss into a "pot of gold".

Paint blarney stones.

Put on a skit for them. You can designate someone to tell an irish folk tale. A trio or quartet can sign an irish tune…. always fun to add a bit of humor to these. Anyone know how to do the jig? Invite someone who does…. perhaps one of the residents will know. Make up some Irish commercials too.

Bring pre-baked and cut-out shamrock shaped cookies and let them ice and decorate their own.

Serve green foods.

Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner for St. Patrick’s Paddy’s Day or any time of the year. Easy to make the corned beef in the crock pot or stove top.

This delightful dish was more likely served to kings than to the peasants and was served originally during the Easter feast. A bacon joint or a piece of salted pork boiled with cabbage and potatoes would more likely have shown up for an Easter Sunday feast in the rural parts of Ireland.
Since refrigeration, the trend in Ireland is to eat fresh meats. Today this dish is more popular in the United States than in Ireland. Irish-Americans and lots of other people eat it on St. Patrick’s Day, as a reminder of their Irish heritage.

In 1925, “corned beef and cabbage” was voted to be the favorite dish of New York City.

What are some fun holiday activities to do with your horse on St. Patrick’s Day, and Easter?
I’m serious! What can you do with your HORSE?

Look up the history of each holiday and see if say their is a traditional dance make up your own dance (walk from this cone to this cone, zig-zag here, run here, etc.)
Easter:
*See who’s horse will keep bunny ears on the longest
* Do a carrot hunt, break up tiny pieces of carrots and scttor them about their stall or paddoc (depending how they are daily) have the owner keep up with how many carrots they find!

St. PD:
*Buy washable green paints, and see who can get the most…
green paint on their horse
clovers painted on
the best design
*Paint a big board with a few colors on it, tell the horse to point to the green, they probably have no training on this, and will reach out to smell it, their for ‘pointing’ at a color see who gets the closest

for each task who ever wins can get a chocolate bunny, for the owner, or a little clover trinket, and a small bag of treats (or a few treats) for the horse. Everything I mentioned, I was thinkng from the ground, but you could posibly change them into riding somehow. Make sure what ever you do is for fun! And let the owners know that, some people can get really competive!

Have fun, I may have to do that myself!

I’m planning a party for St. Patty’s Day and have a few ideas but would like some more creative input. I’m making homemade decorations like paper chains and shamrock cut outs and stuff like that. Any ideas on more decorations that are homemade or cheap? also if you have any good recipes to share or games to play. It’s going to be Adult, Kid and dog friendly party.

Thanks!!

You could set up a dart tournament, or pitch horse shoes if weather permits.

Corned Beef and Cabbage is the Traditional American St. Paddy’s day fair, but any good party food will work. We put out bowls of Lucky Charms to snack on at the bar.

My husband is entering the St Patricks Day Parade with all his machinery. Any ideas on how to jazz it up a bit would be really appreciated.

Shamrocks, of course!! Also, you could get a big pot of yellow mums or daisies as a "pot of gold". And a floral "rainbow" wouldn’t hurt…. 😉
