I wanted to get back in the habit of having a theme family night once a week or at least twice a month. The goal has always been just to spend quality time together as a family, but every once in awhile I like to spice it up by making it a “theme night.”
Since St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, I had to take advantage of all the great ideas. So, here is what we did for an evening of Irish fun.
Game: Pot of Gold Hunt. For this activity we purchased the chocolate coins
and “hid” them around the house. I use the term hid loosely because in reality they were just lying around. We did hide a small “pot” with lots of coins.
Art-n-Craft: M&M Rainbow (found my inspiration here). First we sorted out the colors then Lil’man glued them on to the corresponding color in the rainbow.
Music & Dance: Irish Jig! After striking it rich, we had to celebrate by doing an Irish Jig. So, we popped in some Celtic
music and got jiggy with it.
Food: Mint Chip Ice Cream. I am not a big fan of some of the Irish main dishes, so we settled for something green for dessert!
