A Simple St. Patrick’s Day Party Game!

My kids had such fun playing this super-simple St. Patrick’s Day Pot O’ Gold Game.  It only took me a couple of minutes to make, and I got all of the supplies for a couple bucks at the dollar store.

St. Patrick’s Day Pot O’ Gold Party Game

What you’ll need:

  • a black paper cup
  • one pipe cleaner for each color of the rainbow (Sawyer didn’t like that we were missing orange!)
  • stapler and staples
  • white paint pen
  • chocolate gold coin candies

How it’s made:

  1. Use the white paint pen to decorate the black cup with “Pot O’Gold” or “Happy St. Patrick’s Day!”
  2. Holding the pipe cleaners in order of the colors of the rainbow, twist the ends together.
  3. Staple that twisted end to the inside rim of one side of the cup.
  4. Twist the other ends of the pipe cleaners together.
  5. Staple that other twisted end to the inside rim on the other side of the cup.
  6. Adjust and separate your pipe cleaners to make them look like a rainbow.

How to play:  Have the kids stand/sit back from the cup and toss the gold coin candies into the “Pot O’ Gold.”  If they make it in, they get to eat the candy!

I just made this on a whim for my two oldest kiddos, but it would be great for a school or playgroup party.  And it’s cheap and easy enough that one pot of gold could be made for each child to take home their “treasure,” too!

    Great idea for a game and I love the pipe cleaners for the rainbow.

    I’ve featured it on The Sunday Showcase this week.

    Cute idea and I love that it's simple to make and simple to play. I think it would be nice to just make this and fill it with gold coins and give to kids on St. Patrick's Day. Thanks for sharing on the Kids Co-Op!
