Feeling Lucky?

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the Pot o’ Gold game in World Book’s
Activity Corner:

What you'll need:

1. 2-5 friends

2. Yellow, green, and black construction paper

3. Scissors

4. Glue

5. A few pennies per player

Setup

• Use yellow construction paper to make a large circle.

• Cut 10 quarter-sized shamrocks out of green paper.

• Glue them on the circle in a random pattern.

• Cut out 10 black banshee spots--these circles should be twice as large as
the shamrocks.

• Glue them on the circle in a random fashion.

How to Play

• Stand 5 or 6 feet from the Pot o' Gold. Each player gets to toss a penny
a turn.

• If your penny lands on a lucky shamrock, then you get to keep it. (The
penny does not have to be completely on the shamrock; it can be touching
the pot. Also, if your penny touches both a shamrock and a banshee spot, it
is counted as landing on a banshee spot.)

• If it lands on a banshee spot, you have to leave it on the board. (If
your penny doesn't land on either a shamrock or banshee spot, you get
another chance to throw it.)

• The next player whose penny lands on a lucky shamrock gets to pick up all
the "gold" on the board!

• The player with the most pennies at the end of the game wins.
