St. Patrick's Day Fun

Create a St. Paddy's Day treasure hunt in five easy steps and go for gold!

St. Patrick's Day is a very fun holiday for adults, but it can also be a great time to do family activities as well! One fun family St. Patrick's Day activity is a Gold Doubloon Treasure Hunt! Follow these simple steps to create a fun game to help a lucky leprechaun fill up his pot of gold:

STEP ONE:

Use yellow construction paper and cut out quarter-sized circles to represent gold coins. Don't have yellow paper? Use what you have on hand and color it using yellow crayon.

STEP TWO:

Draw a typical "leprechaun pot" on a separate piece of paper and save for later. (Rainbow optional!)

STEP THREE:

Hide the coins you made throughout the house and give your kids "hotter" and "colder" clues to help them find them all. 

STEP FOUR:

Using a glue stick, put all the coins "in" the pot. 

STEP FIVE:

Place the brimming pot-of-gold on the fridge for posterity!
