Here is a fun way to bring Irish limericks into your world. To be most effective, you will need to take two simple steps.
Step 1: Get informed. Visit our section on Limerick Poems, for a quick overview of the Limerick style, including hundreds of entertaining examples.
Step 2: Then come back, and cruise to victory in the Limericks party game we will share with you below. Play the game individually or as a team!
Ready? (Make sure to complete Step 1...)
Ok, let's go!
First, divide into teams and hand each team a game card – face down on the table in front of them. Then share the rules:
- Does the masterpiece follow the ‘rules’ of a limerick?
- Does it make sense?
- Is it unusually funny, creative or memorable?
- Was it well presented?
The winning team has the most total votes from the judges after all rounds are completed
As guests arrive, hand them a game card. Then, early in the party, pause the action and explain the rules.
Sometime before the end of the party, the judge(s) should announce the winners.
We like to read 1-3 Irish limericks from the winning card (if they are entertaining), and explain the reason for our choices of first, second and third-prize winners.
