printable saint patrick's day tradition printable

Saint Patrick’s Day is an Irish holiday that has taken over America. Celebrated annually on March 17th, it is a celebration symbolized by the color green, Shamrocks, Leprechauns, cabbage peer, and gold coins.

Let’s take a look at a few traditions for St. Patty’s day. In addition, using our printable St. Patrick’s Day worksheet, see how you can celebrate the gift of St. Patrick with friends and family.

St. Patrick’s Day Facts

St Patricks Day facts with fun st Patricks day tradition

Let’s not get confused. With our printable St. Patrick’s Day tradition printable, I am not here to spill a bunch of St. Patty’s facts.

I don’t plan to tell you…

  • St. Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland. March 17 is a religious holiday in Ireland.
  • Saint Patrick was not Irish! He was from Great Britain.
  • On the Irish flag, green stands for Catholics, orange for protestants, and white for wish and harmony.
  • The folklore of St. Patrick banishing snakes from Ireland is false. There are no fossil records of snakes to support these legends.
  • The Chicago River has been dyed green for St. Patrick’s Day since 1962. The green river makes the city come alive every year through Irish Americans (and the  non-Irish too – wink!)
  • The Shamrock was considered a sacred plant that symbolized the arrival of spring. Four-leaf clovers are considered lucky.
  • The first, St. Patrick’s Day parade was held on March 17, 1601, in St. Augustine, Florida.
  • Ireland is known as the “Green Isle” or the “Emerald Isle.”

No, I am not here to tell you any of those fun St. Patrick’s Day facts. In fact, on this fun St. Patty’s Day printable, you won’t find any of those historical St. Patrick’s Day facts. Instead, you will get a really fun activity for the kids to do on March 17th.

What are some St. Patrick’s Day Traditions?

what are st patricks day traditions plus printable st patricks day activity

Before we get started on this super fun activity, let’s talk about a few traditions for St. Patrick’s Day. These traditions are typically held by many Americans who don’t even know the history and facts of the Irish holiday. However, there are many fun ways to embrace the traditions of Irish Culture in America.

Wear Green

You must wear green or get pinched! Who truly understands this wearing of the green pinch tradition, just wear the color.

Eat Irish Food

If you really want to celebrate St. Patty’s Day, you must eat an Irish meal. In North America, this typically consists of corned beef and cabbage. You can also try Irish soda bread, beer soup, food dyed green, or one of these many St. Patrick’s Day food ideas.

St. Patricks Day Parade

In some cities, you might find a St. Patrick’s Day Parade. If this doesn’t happen on the 17th of March, look for festivities the weekend ahead or after the exact date. Popular cities to watch a parade and celebrate the Irish people’s holiday are Boston, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Savannah.

Drink Beer

I don’t know why but did you really need a reason for a pint of Guinness to be a fun St. Patrick’s Day tradition? Beer sales worldwide increase by 174%, making it the busiest time of the year for several bars and pubs in the United States and Ireland.  Some pubs will even dye green beer. Celebrate in a bar or at home and incorporate a few pints with a beer flight tasting sheet plus a few fun Beer Games.

Catch a Leprechaun

The kids can participate by making their own leprechaun trap. Of course, ad an adult, we know he can never be trapped but left behind can be a few gold chocolate coins at the of a St. Patrick’s Day Treasure hunt.

Now on to the fun. Let’s make a new St. Patrick’s Day Tradition with family and friends. Get ready to spread shamrocks just like a little leprahucn.

Are you still with me after all those boring facts?

Throwing a spy-themed birthday party is easy with these 20+ cool spy birthday party ideas. From code names to hidden clues, these secret agent spy party ideas are top secret clues are are willing to share!

Spy Birthday Party Ideas

If you’re looking for an exciting theme party idea that’s not overdone, look no further than a Spy Party! This party theme is great for boys and girls; everyone will have a blast. Plus, it’s so much fun to plan, set up, and execute, which you can’t always say about planning kids’ parties. Provide secret agent training with spy gear and gadgets, create an obstacle course where kids can practice being stealthy, and theme your foods after popular spy props! These spy party ideas will make sure your agent-in-training has an awesome time.

You’ll even feel like a secret agent yourself as you learn to create coded messages and training exercises for your little undercover agents.

Spy Party Cake and Food Ideas

Detective Party Cake

This detective party cake would work famously for a spy party! The bottom layer is covered in fingerprints, while the top layer is circled with fondant police tape that reads “Do not cross.” The cake topper is a spyglass with the child’s birthday number on it. You’ll also find loads of other creative ideas here, like the confidential cookies, the mugshot photo booth, and the mustache chocolate lollipops. | Hostess with the Mostess

top secret cake

Where to begin with this party? The briefcase cake is amazingly detailed with file folders, a magnifying glass, handcuffs, and a top-secret mission sheet. The donut wall is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. | Fern & Maple Style

Bomb Cake

Call in the bomb squad! This cake is ready to explode with flavor. This cute bomb-themed cake is perfect for a spy party or police party. We also like the balloon bomb drops that must be disabled (aka popped) to find the clues to the mission. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Donut Bombs Spy Party Food

These donut bombs are easy to pull together using store-bought chocolate donuts and pieces of red licorice. | Redfly Creations

Detective Dogs Party Food for Spy Party

Detective dogs are an easy choice for a main dish for the party. It’s okay to offer just mini buns and hot dogs, but you can jazz it up by providing chili, relish, and other hot dog toppings as well. Perhaps you could call them spy sausages! | Stay at Home Territory

Pop Secret Popcorn Spy Party Food

Every spy needs some “pop secret” snacks. Popcorn is a great choice (and affordable!), especially if you’re showing a movie. The meatball bombs go nicely with the theme as well. | The Nerd’s Wife

Spy Party Drink Idea

Attach these secret decoder messages to the bottoms of everyone’s drink. You’ll need a red drink and clear cups to see the messages and get everyone in on the spy activities. | The TipToe Fairy

Truth Serum Pills Party Food Spy Party

Nothing here is top secret. Try some truth serum pills if the suspect won’t fess up. Okay, they’re just Hot Tamales candies, but they do look like they could be the real thing! | Flavor Palate

Spy Party Invitations, Decorations, and Favors

Spy Party Invitations

Invite fellow secret agents to the festivities with one of these spy party invitations that look like the information for a top-secret mission. Personalize each envelope with their agent names. The kids can even make up their own secret agent names to add to the fun! | One Creative Mommy

A true secret agent might write out your invitations! Handmade invitations are becoming rare, but they’re so cute. This one is especially fun since it contains a secret message. Use the key to break the code to get the party details. You can even include the secret password to get through the front door the day of the celebration. | Confidence Meets Parenting

How cool is this dynamite stick piñata? You can make a similar one with paper towel tubes, pretend fuse wires, and black tape. The top-secret mission favor bags are also intriguing! | Kara’s Party Ideas

spy party favor DIY mission kit

Put together a mission impossible kit for your party guests to pick up before or after the party, depending on if they need them to carry out the party mission. These bags are filled with invisible ink markers, fingerprint tattoos, fake passport ID cards, play money, disguise glasses and mustaches, and more. Basically, it has everything a spy needs to go incognito! | Fern and Maple Style

Test Tube Candy party Favor

These evidence tubes of candy are terrific party favors. You can never have too much candy, after all. | Lemon Pippin

Spy Party Party Favor Magnifying glass dollar store

Keep it super simple with a printable pack of clues and a magnifying glass for each guest. You can find these often at the Dollar Store or Dollar Tree or other stores in the cheap toy aisles for around $1. In addition to party favors, use them as a prize for breaking a code. | Stress-Free Baby

Spy Glasses

Caution, make sure you don’t get seen! Instead of costumes for each party guest, invest in black spy sunglasses and a fake mustache. Every guest will need a good disguise during a secret mission to remain a secret agent.

Spy Party Games and Activities

Truth or Dare Spy party game

Interrogation is the name of the game when it comes to the top spies. Let the kids practice their interrogation skills with a fun game of Truth or Dare. The Nerf shooting range is another fantastic idea that boys and girls alike will enjoy. | Fern and Maple Style

black balloons

Have a bunch of black balloons and fill each balloon with a paper mission. Your agents will have to pop the balloon for the next clue and accept each mission.

Spy Party Obstacle Course

Spies must be agile, able to squeeze out of the tightest situations. A spy obstacle course will help you find out who’s really up to the challenge. For target practice, you could even include nerf guns party ideas in this outdoor course. | One Creative Mommy

DIY Spy Decoder

Make some DIY secret decoder messages using markers and a piece of plastic covered with a red marker. The red color is essential to decoding the plastic and works just like an invisible ink pen! You could also use red transparent film or candy wrappers, as well, to discover your top secret mission. | Pink Stripey Socks

Laser obstacle Course spy party

Just like a real James Bond, will you know what to do if you’re ever in a room where lasers detectors are coming from every direction? Train and test your skills in the secret agent labyrinth of yarn laser beams. All you need is lots of red yarn (or ribbon) and somewhere to string it up into an obstacle course. | Willowday

Secret Agent 007, are you? See the spy party games and activities you can use to transform your child’s secret agent party into a fun top secret birthday bash.

Spy Kit Printable

Spy Party Games are the ultimate test for many secret agent fans. It is an exciting way to celebrate a birthday or spy themed party with secret missions, code names, and lots of fun that we can’t divulge to just anyone. You’ll need special clearance for that information…

These spy birthday party games are filled with activities that use reasoning skills and investigation skills to track down the suspect.

How to Set Up for a Secret Spy Party

Set up is easy with the right secret agent equipment. You’ll need a few things to make your spy games realistic and fun.

  • Tables and chairs for all of your guests
  • Various crime scene props such as fake blood, weapons, money, etc.
  • An outline of a body on the floor with tape
  • A bulletin board for pictures or photos of the suspects (guests)
  • Weapons, disguises, sticker mustaches, and gadgets that are appropriate for children
  • Name badges for each of your guests
  • Nerf guns and bullseyes for party décor target practice.
  • Obstacle Course for agent training.

On the spy party invitations, ask each child to come dressed in all black or dark clothing. Every good spy needs dark sunglasses, which makes a fun take-home prize or party gift. 

Of course, take a look at all our Spy Party Ideas. Find party favors, birthday cake ideas, and costumes for planning and executing the best secret agent party details.

Secret Agent Training

Before starting the spy party games, you’ll want to have a little secret agent training for your guests. This will help them get into character and understand the rules of the games.

Explain that they are all undercover agents working for a secret organization. You can supply each child at the secret agent party with a manila envelope or folder. Use the Find Your Code Names PDF to get each agent’s spy name. Provide sharpies and name tags so that each agent can refer to the other players by their spy name.

They will have to have their photo taken so you can post it on the “Wanted” bulletin board. A small black briefcase is also a cool decoration if you have access to one.

  • Explain that they are all undercover agents working for a secret organization.
  • Give them their mission briefing and explain the rules of the game.
  • Distribute any props they will need for their mission, such as fake weapons, disguises, or ID cards.

The first game is always best to start with some training so that everyone is on the same page.

Fun Spy Party Games Ideas

The following are some of the included unique ideas that are fun for kids of all ages.

Spy Game #1 – Pin the target on the enemy spy! Use a picture of an enemy spy, downloaded from the Internet or drawn yourself, and give every guest a target to pin onto it. Be sure to cover the agent’s eyes before they each pin their target onto the picture.

Spy Game #2 – Shoe Print Expert. In this game, the agents will examine the shoe that was found near the crime scene and search for matches.

Spy Game #3 – Find the Suspect. Use the clues to rule out suspects and find the true culprit. Just print out the pages and provide a pencil or pen for this fun spy game for kids.

Spy Game #4 – Identify the Fingerprints. For this cool game, you’ll need a few washable ink pads so your guests can see what type of fingerprints they have.

Spy Game #5 – Create Secret Agent Names. Using letters of the alphabet and your birthday month, create your own James Bond codename. Will it be Golden Slayer, Lone Wolf, or Invisible Viper?

Spy Game #6 – Secret Code Clues. Can you decipher the hidden message using the code key?

birthday countdown ideas and printable birthday gift tags 1 to 40

Do you know one thing we all have in common? Everyone has a birthday. Some are celebrated more than others (can I get an Amen mamas?) Others are celebrated with sweet touches and thoughtful gifts.

Countdown Ideas for a Birthday

Birthday countdowns are exciting because they are visual representations of the timeline to the big day. They are especially good for younger kids but they can be exciting for teenagers and even adults. Count down the days until the actual date of the birthday or countdown the number of gifts – perfect for a milestone b-day.

In anticipation of an upcoming birthday for an extra special birthday boy or girl, try these Birthday Countdown ideas.

Numbered Birthday Cards

numbered birthday cards for a birthday countdown idea

Hit the Dollar store and grab a dozen or so birthday cards. Number them in order and write a special message on each card. The birthday girl or boy can open one birthday card each day until their birthday celebration. Instead of you writing all a dozen messages, have special family members, aquantiences, and friends write messages too. This can include coaches, teachers, friends, and family. Instead of receiving all their birthday cards in one day, they receive them slowly allowing the recipient to savor each message.

Gift Cards For Each Year

one gift cards for each year of life for a birthday countdown idea

Grab gift cards as a build-up to the special occasion. This is especially fun for a milestone birthday. For example, for a ten-year-old birthday present idea, have ten gift cards. Ten days before your child’s birthday, give them a new gift card each day. These gift cards can be small and large all the way from $5 to $20. They don’t have to be the same amount. Or for younger kids, give them a gift card the value of their age. So for a sweet 16 birthday, gift sixteen $16 gift cards. You can have duplicates to places like Amazon or Starbucks if you want the values to add up.

Birthday Advent Calendar

happy birthday advent calendar for a birthday countdown idea

Recycle your advent calendar from Christmas or make your own 12 days of birthday DIY Advent calendar. Turn this holiday-themed decor into a cute and creative birthday countdown calendar. Fill small boxes or bags with a little gift like sweet treats and surprises in anticipation of the arrival of your child’s birthday. You can use these free Advent countdown stickers and make your own DIY countdown calendar for a birthday.

Electronic Countdown Clock

Start a fun countdown clock. This can be done with a birthday countdown internet clock or you can get an interchangeable countdown clock timer that has a face you can change for all your important calendar dates including vacation, retirement, Christmas, and birthday! Your birthday kiddo will love watching the numbers change.

Birthday Countdown Chain

paper chain for a birthday countdown idea

If you were a child of the 80s, you know paper chains. Grab construction paper and cut strips of paper to make your own DIY Countdown Paper Chain. This is a great visual for younger kids and they will love tearing apart the newest chain paper each morning when they wake up each day of their birthday week. On the slips of paper, you can even use markers to write sweet birthday wishes or birthday tokens/coupons for future activities. If making your own chain is not your thing, grab a low-cost birthday countdown chain on Amazon. Just add numbers to each ring so you can watch the days go by and the numbers get smaller.

Birthday Countdown Punch Out Calendar

punch out calendar supplies for a birthday countdown idea

This idea is super fun and is a play on a punchout advent calendar (as seen in our Christmas Care Packages.) These fun punchout calendars are sold during the Christmas season but you can easily make your own. Glue plastic SOLO cups to a board – anywhere from 10 to 20 cups is the perfect amount. Fill your plastic cups with small trinkets, candy, and/or toys. Cover the opening of your cups with tissue paper. Using rubber bands will easily cover your openings. Number your cups from 1 to whatever. In a gift punch, the person opening the gifts, “punches” the cup in to see what gift they are getting! This is a really fun option for someone who wants to make a birthday even more special.

Birthday Bucket List

Why have a birth day when you can have a birth month? Celebrate the entire week or the entire month of your child’s birthday with a birthday bucket list. Use the ideas we supply or fill in your own family bucket list ideas with activities that are fitting to your special birthday guest of honor.

Numbered Balloon Pop

Hang ten balloons on a string. This can look like balloon garland or you can fill the balloons with helium and have them reach the ceiling. Before you fill the balloons with air, roll a $1, $5, $10, or even $20 bill inside the balloons. You can even add confetti. Each day before the big day, pop a balloon and collected the money! It’s like an individual pinata filled with cash. Watch that wallet fill up with money!

Birthday Box

A birthday box is super fun. This can come in the form of a shipped birthday care package or you can grab the largest, most oversized box you can find – can you imagine a refrigerator box? WOAH! Fill the entire box with your son/daughter/spouse/significant other’s presents. Number these gifts and allow your special someone to open a new present each day.

Ready to create memorable Easter traditions with large or small groups? These Egg-cellent Easter Games can be paired with Easter egg hunts, Easter parties and gatherings, or used as a family minute to win it challenge.

Eggcellent Easter Games

Easter Egg Games | Easter Party, Egg Hunt, Family Traditions & More

Does Easter ever free like a neglected holiday to you? As a Christian, Easter is truly the most important holiday. It feels as though there is little build-up to the actual day and very little more than a visit to the church and an Easter Egg Hunt.

What do you do on Easter?

Beyond the traditional Easter egg hunt and visit to the church, consider a new Easter Tradition with Easter games. If you wish to turn Easter into a greater celebration, take a look at these Easter Games for Adults, Kids, Families, Friends, Small Groups, and Large Gatherings. It fits a small family of three and a large crowd of dozens.

The year Easter was canceled (the year we must not name), we decide to twist up the traditional Easter ideas. Instead of attending a large Easter Egg Hunt at Church, we had our own small family Easter Egg hunt. My older kids hid Easter Eggs for the younger kids and after finding our eggs, everyone filled their stomachs with jelly beans and chocolate (gross – does that idea of that make anyone else sick?)

Well, it didn’t make my kids sick. Instead, it made all five kids excitable on a lot of sugar. We created a new Easter Family tradition by playing outdoor Easter games. It was a beautiful day and I was all about running off steam and enjoying the beautiful blue sky day.

What are some fun Easter games?

This list of Easter game ideas includes Traditional Easter Games. What are traditional Easter games? Some examples of traditional games include the law Easter Egg Roll. Read more about that below but basically try to roll a raw egg across a finish line with your nose or a spoon. You also could turn a ball toss into a carrot toss or play pin the tail on the bunny (similar to pin the tail on the donkey game.)

We also have examples of Unique Easter Games like Easter bowling lined with brightly colored pool noodles and adorable bunny bowling pins.

Girls Valentine’s Day

Galentine's Day Ideas

If you ever wonder who is the queen of Galentine’s day the answer is Amy Poehler. Why? Well she is planted all over the internet with Galentines day quotes and memes. Even her quotes can be found on Galentine’s Day cards.

She is the queen, she is everyone’s G-Day queen (of hearts!)

What is Galentine’s Day?

“Galentine’s Day” is  Seasons 2, episode 16 of the American comedy television series Parks and Recreation. Fictional character, Leslie (Galentine queen, Amy Poehler) throws her annual “Galentine’s Day” party for her female friends, celebrated the day before Valentine’s Day. Since then, Galatines day has taken off being celebrated by girlfriends, BFFs, mom/daughters, and friends around the world. This celebration turns every sad  Schmalentine’s Day into a festive Girls’ Valentine’s Day celebration!

When is Galentines’s Day

Galentine’s Day is for the single lady and the taken lady. As shared above, Galentine’s Day is celebrated on February 13th. That leaves room for the girls who (dare) have a husband and/or boyfriend to still celebrate February 14th.

To further explain, this Galentine’s Day Quote from Leslie explains it best…

“Every February 13, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and our boyfriends at home, and we just come and kick it, breakfast-style. Ladies celebrating ladies.”

Have Galentine’s Day brunch, breakfast, or even a Girl’s Night Out. Just remember when you celebrate, just like our Galentine’s Queen, have waffles. In her quote …

“Friends, Waffles, Work or Waffles, Friends, Work. Doesn’t matter. Work is third!”

Bring. The. Waffles.
