Pot of Gold St. Patrick's Day Game

Setup and Equipment:

• One container with beanbags in the middle of the gym. This is the Pot of Gold.
• Four teams: Line up in front of each wall, with a hula hoop in front of each team.
• One player from each team is the "leprechuan" and may tag players on the other teams, only if they have a beanbag in their hand and are returning to their hula hoop "castle".

• Each group will try to acquire as much "gold" from the "Pot-o-Gold" as possible and return it to their castle.

• The students should go out one person on each team at a time, then try to acquire gold by taking only one bean bag at a time.

• The taggers "leprechuans" are not allowed to throw the tagging ball. They must have it in their hand when tagging.

• If a student is tagged, they must bring the bean bag back to the "Pot-o-Gold" and return to their hula-hoop.

• When they return to their "castle", give the next person on your team a high five and continue for the rest of the song.

• After each team has five beanbags (gold bars) the game changes and players may acquire gold from the other castles.

• Play for one-two minutes, then pick new leprachuans for each team.
