St. Patrick's Day Party Supplies and Decorations: Think green. Choose party supplies and decorations that are green in color.

Send St. Patrick's day invitations to guests no later than two weeks before the day. Send St. Patrick's Day thank you notes to all the guests who made the day such a wonderful event.
St. Patrick's Day Food: Serve traditional Irish food on St. Patrick's Day. Traditional Irish dishes include corn beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread, Shepherd's Pie, chicken stew with dumplings, roasted potatoes and bacon, lime pie and sugar cookies.

St. Patrick's day Party Games and Activities: Shamrock Relay - Divide children into teams. The first person of a team takes the 2 shamrocks and lays one of the cut out shamrocks out on the floor. The child steps on the first shamrock and then places the second shamrock in front of them. The child steps on the second shamrock, reaches back and picks up the first shamrock and then places that shamrock in front of them. Continue until the end of the course and run back and tag the next team member.
Pot of Gold Toss - Place a plastic pot a few feet away from a marked line where the children stand behind. Give children bean bags and have them toss the bean bags at the pot. The child who makes the most tosses after a predetermined is the winner. Offer chocolate gold coins for this game.
Nothing is more Irish than a Leprechaun so divide the kids into two teams and try a game of Leprechaun Hop. Give each team a gold coin pillow. Have one child from each team place the gold coin between their legs and hop to the end of the room and back. They sit down and the next team member goes. Repeat until one team is all sitting and declared the winner.
