Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Now here is the rest of the story
For the first part go to my sister site
….singing another Irish song like Its a Great Day for the Irish. Since everyone here is Irish, then it is going to be a great day for all of you.
Next you can talk about some of the symbols of St. Patrick’s Day such as: the shamrock, the leprochon , and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and whatever else the group wants to talk about
Next either sing another Irish song or give out some more compliments to more group members. You can say I want to see a nice Irish smile on everyone’s face. Then sing When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. You have been practicing that one almost all week.
Alternate singing, talking about the day, and positive affirmations about everyone. Make sure to say something nice about everyone.
Topics for discussion may include:
Potato jokes
Truth or blarney- True or false statements about anything. But instead of true or false, its truth or blarney
Green things
For each topic I go from table to table trying to give each person a chance to speak even if you have to do most of the talking for the person(s).
Song selections might include:
My Wild Irsh Rose
I’m Looking Over a Four Leaf Clover
Harrigan
Sweet Rosie O’Grady
That’s Peggy O’Neill
Sidewalks of New York
Peg O My Heart
Then end the party with a sweet treat. We have a green cake with green frosting. We make a green jello cake. I make green drinks mixing a yellow beverage with a blue one. You can get blue gatorade. Trust me the combination tastes pretty good. I tell everyone not to get too tipsy.
We usually end with Show Me the Way to go Home and God Bless America.
What a great party and a great day. You were instrumental in making it all possible
