St. Patrick's Day Party Games

St Patricks Day Right Left Games

A right left game is always fun and Righty Shamrock's Right Left Blarney Poem is the perfect fit.

I would suggest sending around bags of chocolate coins AND a few gag gifts (wrapped in green of course) to add to the excitement of this interactive St. Patrick's Day game.

If you want to learn a little about St. Patrick while you're celebrating the day, then our Story of St Patrick Left Right Game fits the bill.

Dig out the green balloons, four leaf clovers, horseshoes and pots of gold. Strike up a rousing chorus of Irish music and speak in limericks.

It's all part of the St. Patrick's Day tradition and adds to the fun.

Get ready for laugh-out-loud fun with the Leprechaun Whisper Game—the perfect game for your St. Patrick’s Day party!

How to Play:

Choose a Player: One person wears noise-canceling headphones with music playing OR simply covers their ears.

Guess the Phrase: The person wearing headphones (or covering their ears) tries to read their lips and say the phrase out loud.
Get Ready to Laugh: Whether they get it right or completely mix it up, the results are always hilarious!

Leprechaun Whisperer Game Play in Action

Fun St. Patrick’s Day Phrases to Use:

☘️ “Leprechauns love lucky limericks!”
☘️ “Kiss the clover, not me!”
☘️ “My pot of gold is empty!”
☘️ “This shamrock shake is suspicious!”
☘️ “Don’t pinch me, I’m wearing green socks!”
☘️ “There’s a leprechaun tap-dancing on my table!”
☘️ “I lost my gold in a potato sack race!”
☘️ “Shamrocks are just fancy clovers!”
☘️ “May the luck be ever in your Guinness!”
☘️ “I found a rainbow in my cereal bowl!”

No Headphones? No Problem!

Again, if you don’t have noise-canceling headphones, just have the guesser cover their ears tightly or simply have the reader mouth the words with no sound. It’s just as fun and tricky!

💚 Try it at your St. Paddy’s Day party and see who’s the best Leprechaun Whisperer!

Musical Shamrocks

Find some fun Irish music and play this St. Patrick's Day version of musical chairs. You'll need one shamrock per guest minus one.

Draw and cut out your own or use our printable shamrock pattern. Print as many as needed on green paper and cut out, or print one and use it as a pattern to cut out the others.

Scatter the shamrocks over the floor in the playing area and start the rousing Irish dance music. When the music stops, each guest rushes to stand on a shamrock. The player who does not get to one on time is out, a shamrock is removed, and the game continues till there is only one player left... the WINNER!

Toss the Hat on the Leprechaun

It's not easy to throw a hat in the air and land it atop someone's head, especially after a round of Irish brew. Line your guests up in teams of two and see who can flip a hat onto their "leprechaun" first.

The King of the Leprechauns Roy Gilroy has had his pot of gold stolen. Who was the devious thief? This game is very flexible and has roles for 10 to 50 guests. However, it could be used for up to 90 guests if the additional guests just dress in green.
