There are all sorts of Irish songs, classics like Danny Boy and Irsih Pub songs like Seven Old Ladies, The Unicorn Song and others. While we all think we know the words to these songs, do we really know them?
The Irish Songs Lyrics Game is a fun way to test how well your friends know Irish songs, this could be a fun game for St. Patrick’s Day parties and at bars.
The first then you need to do is find Irish song lyrics, we found this page with a variety of Irish songs which can get you started. We recommend you select between 8 and 12 songs that you and your friends know for your game. If you don’t know the songs then, it won’t be much fun.
Now the host should create a master list of the songs and the lyrics and then create a master list for the game.
The you need to create a Irish Song list for your guests that include one or two verses of the Irish songs.
Now to play this game tell everyone your going to do a sing along of Irish songs and everyone sings the song and verse / verses on the sheet. When the verse ends the individual or group of individuals who are contestants then must continue the song by singing the next verse.
- If they get it right – Yeah! Everybody can join back in.
- If they get it wrong – Let them know as see if anyone else wants to try.
You can adjust this as needed and let people volunteer (which then you could have several people try and get a song right) or you can play one turn per person.
As for prizes, I am not sure they are needed just having fun is the prize.
Also, if you get a song like the Unicorn Song you could challenge guests to sing each verse until you get it right and then wrap up the game by handing out all the words and singing the song together.
