AshleyHune 0 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 We just did a St. Patrick's Day craft that went over really well, we made St. Patrick's Day Buttons Green foam paper small magnets, 2 per person sharpie pens glue gold glitter and it went over really well, double my regular craft attendance. They all wanted to make a bit of green to wear to not get piniched tomorrow! I cut out a four leaf clover cardboard piece about 3" by 3", and we traced the clover on the foam, then cut it out and they wrote things like "Kiss Me I'm Irish" on the foam with a sharpie. Then they put glue on the foam and we shook glitter over them. I hot glued one magnet on the back of each, the pins can be secured on clothing with the other magnet without the trouble of pinning something. They loved it!

Miguel 4 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hey all how was your St. Patricks Days? Well we had 2 partys all in the same day.. It was awesome. First we had a potluck, We made Corn Beef and cabbage for our residents and staff and had staff bring in other foods, We had our unit decorared in St. Patrick stuff, We hired a Irish story teller to come out and sing and tell Irish Stories. Our admin and and Director of SNF all pitched in with the clean up and cooking... Than an hour and a half later we had another entertainer come in and sing some music, we passed out cake I had to resolve fights on who can dance with me.. Little old ladies can be very possesive.. 8-) It was AWESOME!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwendland 0 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Does anyone have any good ideas for a fun St. Patrick's Day Party? Any game ideas? We usually have table top bowling on thursdays which is St. Pat's day. We could dress up the bowling pins to look like leprechauns.

lllucas 0 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Hi, iwendland! :-) Our residents love our St. Patrick's Day Irish Potato Party. We back a bunch of potatos and lay out a large variety of topping ingredients. It really is a popular party/activity. We also invite a group of entertainers who play traditional Celtic music on hammered dulcimer, violin, guitar and ancient Celtic percussion instruments. Lots of fun!!!! :pint: Best Wishes, :hammer: Linda Lucas, AD ;-) Owner: The Activity Director's Office Address: http://www.theactivitydirectorsoffice.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJackson 0 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 8-) Hi! recently my residents voted on not having a St. Patricks day party. They said they wanted to do little activities throughout the day. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas what I could do. I'm at a loss. Usually they want a party for every holiday. Need help! thanks :hammer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinaFilice 0 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hey, An Irish Pub theme is always great. I've done it a few times. For fitness you could do an Irish Themed Fitness and incorporate interesting movements realted to St. Patty's Day. You could also serve gingerale at The Irish Pub and put two drops of green food colouring in each glass - it is not harmful and in turn you will have fake green beer to serve at the pub. For a Baking Program - cupcakes and decorate them with gold coins and green frosting. I have a ton of ideas and they are all adaptable to varying client levels, if you email me at JBean@ACTIVITYDIRECTOR.COM I can get your fax number and fax them to you.
