St. Patrick's Day is a holiday often forgotten in America, I mean it seems like there is not much to it. Despite this, I believe it is possible for there to always be something lively and fun to do on even the most low-key holidays.
In light of the month of March, I have compiled a list of activities for you, (or maybe you and your friends) to try doing on St. Patrick's Day. This list has many different options, so do not think it will just be things for kids or activities for only leprechauns. Enjoy.
1. Adults Only: Celebrate
Get the lasses or lassies together and go out for some drinks in an Irish Pub.
2. Get Creative
Look up some Irish slang words and make a game out of it by having your friends each take a turn guessing what the slang terms mean. There are some great (and hilarious) Irish words out there. For a list of Irish slang terms, click here.
3. Make A Leprechaun Trap
One of my favorite childhood memories was setting up Leprechaun traps the night before St. Patrick's Day. If you're too lazy to make one yourself, just set up the game board for "MouseTrap". #closeenough
4. Bagpipe Party
If you know someone who plays bagpipes, have them serenade you on St. Patrick's Day. If not, try and scope out some bars or events where someone will be jamming out on the pipes.
5. Scavenger Hunt
Has anyone ever really found the end of a rainbow? How about a four-leafed clover? Go searching for these St. Patrick's Day gems, or make a St. Patty's Day scavenger hunt for your family. Ideas include a box of lucky charms with only marsh mellows, a pot of gold (could be candy), a Leprechaun hat, bell-buckled shoes, etc.6. Check It Out

7. Watch Some St. Patrick's Day Movies
Nothing better than relaxing and celebrating in your own home. "The Luck of the Irish", anyone?
Honorable Mention: It's also very entertaining to watch people Irish Jig, or for you to attempt an Irish Jig. Try doing this to ANY type of music, I have found it can be hilarious.
Have a gas this St. Patrick's Day everyone, and do not forget to wear green!
