An invitation to a pirate party - a message in a bottle.
Think about what you associate pirates with? I think you immediately imagine treasures, maps of the seas, skulls and bones, ships, steering wheels, Jolly Roger, rum, Caramba!!!, a hook and the like. Choose what you like best and design it. Add to invitation text some pirate jargon.
How to do invitation to a pirate party do it yourself and what is required for this? Read on...
For a message in a bottle you will need the following attributes:
- a simple A4 sheet,
- a bag of black tea,
- black marker,
- glass transparent bottle,
- if possible, find sand and shells,
- a mesh made of natural material, for example, hemp or flax (optional).
Let's begin!
Brew and let the tea bag sit, soak a sheet of paper in the tea for several minutes, then let the sheet dry, you can help it with a hairdryer, or put it in the oven. You can burn the edges a little to give the leaf some signs of antiquity.
We will write the text of the invitation with ink, and with a marker we will draw a black mark (instead of a stamp).
We roll the sheet into a tube, you can tie it with twine, put it in a bottle and seal it with a cork (if there is no cork, you can use a well-crumpled and then folded newspaper). You can put some sand and shells into the bottle for decoration. Then we place it in the grid. The invitation is ready!
Invitations or invitations to a pirate party in the form of a bottle of rum.
Perhaps everyone knows the favorite drink of pirates. Therefore, we can make an invitation in the form of a bottle of rum. You can cut out the silhouette of a bottle on cardboard and glue a piece of paper to write the invitation text on it. Everything is simple and looks like this in the end:
Below are images of possible invitations to pirate party. There are a huge number of them. On them you can see the text for invitations using humor and pirate jargon.
Photos and pictures of various invitations to a pirate party
If you decide to organize a child’s birthday or an adult party in a nautical style, you will definitely have to think about how to decorate the room, table, and invitation cards. Of course, you can purchase ready-made kits on thematic websites. But believe me, DIY decor will be no worse.
To simplify the task, the Zatusim website has prepared several ideas for decorating a holiday in a marine style, as well as step-by-step master classes that will help you make decorations with your own hands. Ready-made thematic templates will also come in handy - the pictures are clickable and you can enlarge them and print them for your crafts.
Party in a nautical style: decoration with boats
The simplest and most affordable way to decorate a room or table is to make different boats.
They can also be used for place cards or for wishes for the hero of the occasion. Many people remember how to make paper boats from childhood. Let us remind those who have forgotten their origami skills.
Party in a nautical style: DIY decoration with a grid of corrugated paper
A fishing net will make a wonderful background or decoration. It can be used to drape a ceiling or a candy bar, or be used for a photo shoot.
Remove the blue or turquoise paper from the package and do not unwrap it. Make deep cuts on both sides, cutting the paper all the way through. The distance between the cuts should be equal to the desired thickness of the mesh cells. This is approximately 2-3 cm. If this distance is reduced, the mesh will be finer.
You can first practice on a regular sheet of paper.
Make these cuts along the entire length of the corrugated paper roll.
Carefully unfold the finished template.
Stretch the resulting mesh and attach it to the wall or ceiling.
Accessories for a nautical party: festive pinwheels
Pinwheels made of paper will be a cool decoration for a party and entertainment for kids.
All you have to do is print out the template, cut and cut it along the dotted lines and staple the edges in the middle of the sheet.
This whole structure is attached to a stick using a beautiful pin.
Holiday in a nautical style: invitation templates
Make bottle themed invitations by printing out templates and filling in the blanks. And such invitations can be placed in a box with a cool toy like a crab or fish.
To do this you will need directly:
- box;
- small towel;
- ready-made invitations;
- toy.
Lay the towel out on a flat surface.
Fold in the edges. Moreover, there is more on the upper side than on the lower side.
Position the invitation so that its edge is higher than the edge of the towel.
Fold the bottom side over again, covering the invitation halfway up.
Carefully turn the structure over and fold the side edges back.
Place an invitation towel and a small compliment toy in the box.
Close the box and make a personal inscription on top of who this invitation gift is intended for.
Sea party for little pirates: DIY decoration
For a holiday with pirates, we suggest making a cool garland with themed flags with your own hands. An interesting poster with the inscription “No Pirates Allowed” can be hung at the entrance. And what would it be without a pirate flag with a skull and a dashing cocked hat.
Decorating a children's party in a nautical style: ready-made templates for birthdays
Hang a banner in front of the door inviting kids to the party.
And on the walls hang portholes depicting ships and seascapes. Dolphins and seagulls watching the holiday through the portholes will delight the eye. Print the finished portholes on thick paper measuring 300x300 mm and attach them to the walls in the room where the holiday will take place.
If a seaside celebration is being held in honor of a child’s birthday, you can make a congratulatory banner with waves.
Set of templates in nautical style for cabin boy's birthday
For the little cabin boy's birthday, we suggest making a garland with your own hands.
To do this, print ready-made templates on paper. It is better to use a laser printer for this so that the paint does not bleed if it comes into contact with moisture.
Using a hole punch, make holes along the top edge of each flag and thread the string through the holes. You can also use a ribbon that matches the flags, that is, yellow, blue or turquoise.
Make some cool caps for your guests. To do this, print the finished templates on A3 paper.
Using scissors, cut along the contour and coat the area to be glued with glue or a pencil. Glue to the back of the template. You can already attach a ribbon to the finished cap.
To do this, use a needle to place holes on opposite sides of the cases, thread thin ribbons through them, and secure them. For packaging cupcakes or cupcakes, we suggest making original stands or baskets.
No less interesting are the boxes for packaging sweets.
Set up a candy bar “Yunga”, and use original toners to decorate dishes.
Print our templates and cut out along the outline. Apply a little glue to a skewer or toothpick and attach to the back of the topper.
Sea party: children's photo session
For an unforgettable photo session in a marine style, you don’t have to go to the sea coast. You can arrange an original photo zone right on the street or even in the house.
To do this, purchase styrofoam balls of different sizes. This prop is made from regular foam. It can be purchased at craft stores. You will also need paints. We will paint some of the balls turquoise and blue, and some in sea green. We set aside large balls for making jellyfish.
Cut the pieces in half and slightly round the edges. We paint the resulting hemispheres in bright colors. We paint the tissue paper from which we will cut out the tentacles with the same shade. Glue the finished tentacles to the base. We string the finished balls and jellyfish onto fishing line or ribbons. All that remains is to hang it up and the area for the photo session is ready.
We cut out props for children in the form of masks, octopuses and starfish from cardboard and attach them to sticks.

A children's party in the style of a pirate party is a favorite and common theme among children.
If you are thinking about how to prepare a pirate-themed children's birthday party or are thinking about how to hold a pirate children's party, in this article you will find a large selection of ideas for preparing for a children's party in this theme.
Children's pirate party
1. Invitation to a children's pirate party
Invitations to a pirate party can be made by parents in Photoshop or by a child with their own hands with the help of their mother. A few weeks before the holiday, send invitations by mail or hand them out in person if it is, for example, an invitation to a pirate party in a bottle. Create a festive atmosphere before it even starts - invite your guests to meet outside. Choose a place, draw a map, mark large objects and go on an adventure! Having received invitations in the form of a treasure map, children will already be looking forward to the pirate-themed holiday itself!
2. Scenario for a pirate party for children
Half the success when holding a children's party is the script. Of course, the party itself may not end up going exactly as originally planned, but even in this case the script will be useful. Having written a rough plan for the pirate party the day before, you will definitely not lose sight of anything. Try to schedule by the hour everything you want to do - what time the guests will be invited, when is the best time to serve snacks, what games do you want to play with the children at the pirate party and what props need to be prepared for this. Be sure to take time for photos at the children's party, because such a bright and unusual event is being prepared! You can make your own backdrop for photos in the shape of a pirate ship and use pirate photo accessories on a stick for more fun.
Book a photographer for a children's party, and in this case you won't have to worry about not having time to photograph something because you were busy with the children.
3. Pirate treats for a children's party
Keeping with the holiday theme, decorate the sweet table and snacks in the style of pirates. Here are some ideas to help you decide how to make a children's table for a pirate party. A cake in the shape of a pirate ship or with pirate figures, “cake pops” or “cupcakes” with a pirate design.
How to make cake pops - recipe for sponge cake on a stick for a children's party.
Bake a sponge cake according to your favorite recipe, crumble it, add a few tablespoons of jam or condensed milk, mix well. The mixture should be sticky enough to form into balls. Cover the bowl with the mixture with film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. Then roll small balls with wet hands, place on a tray and put away again for half an hour, now in the freezer. Melt the chocolate in the microwave or in a water bath, remove the balls, and make a hole in the middle of each with a skewer. To keep the cake pops from falling off the sticks, first dip them in hot chocolate and then stick them into the ball. Let the chocolate cool and set inside a ball in the freezer. After this, you can decorate - pour milk or white chocolate over the sponge cake on a stick, sprinkle with small nuts or colored sugar sprinkles. You can let the white chocolate cool, fix the cake pops vertically (stick them in the foam), and draw pirate faces with colored icing.
If the children's party is in the summer, make a pirate ship out of watermelon or the open mouth of a shark and fill it with fresh fruit.
All children love bananas - a little imagination and they turn into little pirates. Another way to decorate bananas for a pirate kids' party. Download the monkey template, print it on brown paper, cut it out and decorate it with bananas - little robbers will definitely be happy with this surprise!
Pizza or layered salad on a flat dish - a treasure map, jelly in cups - a blue sea with an orange boat, fruit canapés with a pirate flag and chicken fillet on a skewer in the shape of a real sword, stuffed eggs or "ship" sandwiches - be inspired by ideas, fantasize and invent , how to decorate food for a kids pirate party.
4. Decorating for a pirate party
For the decor of a children's pirate party, a marine theme is suitable - ships, sea, sand, octopuses, fish, turtles and sharks. And also the obligatory attributes of a pirate holiday - black flags with skulls, treasure chests, a ship's helm, black marks, parrots and monkeys, treasure hunt maps and so on.
The main colors used to decorate a children's pirate party are red, black and white. Look at examples of decorating a children's pirate party:
5. Pirate costume and accessories
Children love to dress up and act as brave heroes. You can sew a pirate costume or buy a ready-made one. Or simply complement your child’s image with pirate accessories.
How to dress a child for a pirate party? For example, denim breeches, a striped jumper, a vest, a bandana scarf and a pirate eye patch that any mother can sew herself.
How to sew a pirate eye patch with your own hands:
You can cut out the frame of a saber for little pirates from cardboard, cover it with felt and trim it.
Master class - how to make a pirate hat from black construction paper.
Older children can be offered to do pirate face painting:
6. Games and competitions for a children's pirate party
When choosing competitions or games for a pirate party, focus on the age of the invited children and the location of the party. You can play more active games outdoors, but for a home party, choose calmer competitions.
- “Water and Land” - place an “island” hoop on the floor, explain that the space around will be considered the “sea.” Children stand around the hoop and at the leader’s command “Water!” or “Land!” move inside the circle or jump out of it. Confuse children by saying the same command in a row.
- “Raise anchor!” - attach a cardboard anchor exactly in the middle of a long rope, tie a stick or pencil on both sides, two participants on command begin to wind the rope around the pencil. The one who reaches the anchor first wins.
- “Be careful, shark!” - when the leader commands “Day!”, all players swim around the sleeping “shark”. At the command “night”, the players freeze, the “shark” wakes up and hunts. Whoever moves first is taken prisoner by the “shark”. The next “shark” is the previous loser.
- “Walk the Bridge” is a game for a children's outdoor party.
- “Diver” - the player is put on a tight blindfold, the leader places an object on the floor that the child has not seen before (a fish toy, a shell, an anchor, a plastic bottle, the child has not), the player, following the prompts of others, tries to find the object on the floor, and then guess from the shape what he is holding in his hands.
- “Pirate nickname” - pirates do not call each other by name, so at the very beginning of the holiday you can come up with a competition for the most original nickname based on the first letters of the last name and first name. And then hang a badge for everyone with their nickname. For example, Sidorov Misha can be called the Brave Sailor.
For younger children, provide treasure hunt containers that can be filled with small pebbles or sand. For the warmer months, a pirate gelatin sensory box or ice “block” with treasures frozen in it that need to be removed using warm water is suitable.
So, preparing a pirate party for children is not at all difficult. The main thing is to get down to business in advance and think everything through. I hope the tips and ideas for hosting a pirate party from this article will be useful to you.
Endless sea spaces, endless adventures and bottomless treasures! It's no wonder that a pirate party for children is one of the favorite themes for birthdays or school dates. Parents are also lucky: decorating a room will not take much effort and will not break the budget, because many accessories and decorations are easy to make with your own hands.
Decor
Since this children's party, the surroundings should be flashy-bright, cartoonish and full of details. Don't be afraid to overload the room with decorations - the more, the merrier!
But don’t worry about shapes and complex compositions - kids don’t care how highly artistic a colorful garland is. It’s even better if the decorations are rustic, as if they were put together by children. Spend the free time on working through the script and preparing treats - these moments are much more interesting for the children.
Original ideas for a pirate party for children can be drawn from dozens of themed cartoons: “Treasure Planet”, “Treasure Island”, “Mysteries of the Pirate Island”, etc.
Posters/ Cartoon frames are great for wall decoration- print, cut out. Figures of recognizable characters and attributes can be assembled into garlands, cards for skewers, and signs for a candy bar.
To decorate a room or open space, if the party is outdoors, prepare:
- paper garlands of boats, skulls, anchors, Jolly Roger flags on the ceiling, walls;
- globes, "vintage" maps, cardboard pirates, guns, mountains of gems, gold;
- telescopes, sextants, nautical compasses. The real ones will certainly delight children! But you can make fake or print photos, just to create an ambience;
You can buy bright themed attributes for a children's pirate party. There is literally everything, from jewelry to accessories, clothes, weapons, balls, dishes.
- pirate balloons with themed designs, stickers. It is easy to assemble palm trees, anchors, ships, and skeletons from long SDMs;
- cracked barrels, huge anchors, steering wheels fake, made of polystyrene foam or cardboard;
- for draping walls/furniture and use stylized sails, ropes and fishing nets. Hang rope ladders/ropes with grip knots on one of the walls or on a branchy tree if the holiday is outdoors. Don't forget to lay down mats;
- dark in the hold or treasury without fire... Place candles around the room - safe, battery-powered ones!
- shells, algae, fish, krakens and all sorts of octopuses. The sea monsters aren't very creepy, this is a kids' pirate party after all. Although you can’t just scare today’s children. But still with horror films in moderation;
- don't forget the most important thing - treasures in chests. Bent forks and spoons and other aluminum used as silverware, grandma's jewelry, dagger knives, chocolate coins, candy beads. The chests can be easily assembled from a box cut out from a template, painted or covered with wood-look wallpaper, and attached with a fake lock.
Friends will probably not refuse to help organize a pirate party for children - ask them for toys for decoration:
- plastic boats, pirate figures, swords, sabers, Lego themed ones;
- talking parrots. Glue on a cardboard cocked hat and an eye patch to create a real pirate companion! Repeating parrots, shouting after the children “Shatter me with thunder” and “Whistle up everyone”, will certainly amuse the children;
- swimming fish, octopuses, battery-powered turtles and other marine life. Place them in beautiful jars with shells, sand, and treasures at the bottom.
Photozone
Thematic background with a pattern or tantamaresque. It’s easy to make with your own hands, using a funny picture as a model. Draw, cut out “windows” for faces. A simple example that an older child can repeat.
You can make a real pirate ship! Let it be made of cardboard, but with masts and sails! Take the time to paint the boat beautifully – it takes an hour, and the difference is noticeable.
Invitations
Ordinary invitations for such a colorful theme are unthinkable, and the kids will certainly love the original “cards.” Make your own pirate party invitations for kids:
- paper boat with text on sails;
- card with burnt edges, "antique". Draw a diagram of the path to your “island” or “cave” (where will you celebrate your pirate birthday?);
- encrypted message - riddles, puzzles, puzzles(simple, for children). The answer will be “I invite you to a party” or “come at the date and time”;
- a chest with a letter from Flint himself and chocolate treasures in golden foil. Or a black label with text inside/on the back;
- mysterious message in a bottle, wandered for a long time on the waves (decorate with shells and starfish).
Suits
Dear parents, without fanaticism. This is a pirate-themed children's party, and kids don't like tight clothes that are hot and uncomfortable to run and play in. For example, heavy high boots or a leather hat are a real nightmare for an active child. But newspaper accessories, assembled in five minutes, will not look very festive in the photo.
Don't try to dress the little pirate spick and span. Some disorder and even tattered costumes are welcome! A girl can create a creative mess on her head by braiding several braids with multi-colored rubber bands. For the boy to dishevel his hair, draw a bruise, a mustache, a beard.
We offer simple options on how to dress for a pirate party without spending a lot of money. Top: a long T-shirt or T-shirt with stripes - blue, red, black. If it’s a shirt, then it’s white or “grimy” gray/beige. Gather the puffy cuffs and collar with elastic. Bottom: dark wide trousers, loose shorts or a skirt. For a boy, you can sew a short vest or a long, open camisole. For a girl - a dress with a corset, frills and flounces, retro. For ideas, look at the photos of pirate costumes available for rent.
It is better to make the tops of the boots fake, made of thick fabric. It is advisable that they be removed - with elastic, Velcro, buttons from the inside out. If it’s hot indoors or outdoors, after a few photos as a souvenir, the boots can be unfastened:
Of course, a costume would be incomplete without important pirate accessories and recognizable elements:
- wide belt (a long thin scarf will do), belt with gold buckle;
- fake rivets, chains, lacing;
- eye patch, sleeve hook, skeleton skulls (keychains, drawings, stickers on clothes, transferable tattoos);
- spyglass, saber, pistol. Surely there are some “weapons” in your home collection. If not, make one from cardboard and paint it with silver/gold paint;
- bandana and/or hat. They cost pennies in stores for organizing parties, but it’s easy to make a paper hat with your own hands (with an elastic band or two parts glued at the edges):
A real pirate cocked hat can be assembled from an old baseball cap and a wide brim.. Cut off the visor, sew on the “steering wheel”, bend and sew the brim at three points, as in the photo below. The top of the head will be almost invisible, but you can paint it or cover it with fabric in the color of the hat brim. Decorate with a frill around the edges, insert a dashing feather or draw a skull. You will get a hat like this:
Menu, serving
It hardly makes sense to organize a serious feast at a children's party - the children are waiting for active competitions and goodies, not potatoes and chicken. But for parents, you can include several salads, sliced meats and vegetables in the menu. It is better to arrange all dishes in small portions, in baskets, vases.
Pirate treats will become more attractive if the presentation is beautiful. Lay a striped or black tablecloth, decorate the “board” - anchors, steering wheels, lifebuoys. You can throw an imitation fishing net on the tablecloth. Buy stylized dishes and napkins, bright skirts and muffin tins, and make miniature cards for skewers.
Bring a country table with an umbrella. The stick on which the umbrella is attached is an almost ready-made mast for the developing sails of the galleon! Or hang a sail/flag on the wall behind your desk. If you are celebrating a child's birthday in a pirate style, there is no better “canvas” for congratulations. Make an inscription like this on the sail:
Captain Max
9 years on the high seas
Fly forward with full sails, adventures await you!
If you plan to relax all day in nature, prepare something substantial. For example, you can make a couple of salads and put them on plates, like a ship’s cook using a ladle from a huge pan. Sausage octopus jellyfish are also quite in the theme:
But the most important thing is the pirate Candy-bar or sweet menu. This is where decorations come in handy - skewers, cards and other small things with pirate symbols. Any recipes, at your discretion - pies and cakes, shortbread cookies, biscuits, puff pastries. But it’s easier to buy most of it and then decorate it.
We offer several ideas in a pirate style.
- Boats - insert a skewer with a sail into the treat. The hull of a galleon can be:
- hot dogs, cabbage rolls (have nothing to do with the sweet menu, but don’t forget about parents, and not all children have a sweet tooth);
- pie cut into long diamond shapes;
- eclairs, tubes with cream;
- pancakes with filling (in envelopes or in a tube).
- Striped jelly. Buy bags of two colors - lemon and berry (red) or plum (blue) jelly. Cool in layers in transparent glasses/vases.
- Montpensier, nuts in multi-colored glaze, pour into transparent jars. The neck can be wrapped with twine or colorful ribbon, attached as a pendant for a toy skeleton, an anchor, etc.
- Candies in bright wrappers Place lollipops and chocolate coins in chests. Some candies can be packed in “pirate” pieces of paper. Unwrap the small chocolates, leaving the foil, and “gird them” with a strip of skull-tricorned hats (so that the foil is visible).
- Bake cookies in the shape of pirate paraphernalia. Or decorate the rounds with fondant - an indispensable thing for decorating sweets! Food coloring or syrup will give the mastic the desired shade. Sculpting as if from plasticine is not at all difficult.
- Arrange fruits beautifully, “ours” and always from the tropical pirate island - mangoes, pineapples, etc. Decorate the fruit with skewers with pictures. And you can make angry and cheerful corsairs out of bananas: glue or draw faces, tie a triangular piece of striped or polka-dot fabric in the middle.
- Drinks – juices, lemonades, milkshakes. In stylized paper cups. With tubes decorated with pictures and figures. You can put quarters of oranges in some glasses and stick the sails in (the quarter is placed end-to-end so that it rests against the edges and does not sink). Replace bottle labels with colorful stickers.
If you are celebrating a birthday, don't forget a pirate cake in the shape of a ship, treasure chest, island and so on. Any recipe you like, it’s better to have a suitable form right away. Decorations – glaze, mastic. You may need the help of a pro to bake a grand cake.
Entertainment
Perhaps, The script for a pirate party for children is more important than colorful decoration and tasty treats. Take the time to prepare colorful props. Assign the most artistic parents to lead. Pirate music will create a fun atmosphere - download soundtracks from themed films/cartoons.
Street
If the children's party is held outdoors, draw a map. Schematically, on “old” paper with tattered edges. The guys will go through a quest using it, going in search of treasure. It is not necessary to travel far, but it is better to conduct each test away from the previous one, so that you get a real journey across the map. According to our scenario, we need to designate this path:
- pier (place where the table and seating area are)
- quicksand
- swamp
- enemy camp
- entrance to the treasury
- the place where the chest is hidden. You can bury it in the sand, hide it in dense bushes, in a dark barn or on a tree (adults will help you get it out). Play it up somehow, because this is the highlight of the party.
Room
If the pirate's birthday is held at home/in a cafe, there will be nowhere to move around. The markers for the map according to the scenario are described above, but there can be any number of games between the journey from one point to another, at your discretion. Draw a map and tear it into as many pieces as there are competitions and tasks you prepare. For completing each task, give the young pirates another fragment of the map.
Since the children don’t have a map at first, the presenter instead of “What’s next on the map, let’s see...” says something like this: “Oh, we’re in the sand,” “The path is blocked by a swamp,” etc. And the chest can be slowly taken out and placed behind the guys while the young pirates glue all the pieces together.
Scenario
The name of the presenter for example is Pretty Katie or Captain Hook (hereinafter CC).
QC: I see that the whole brave team is assembled? Glad, very glad! Greetings, um, ahem... And what should you call you, actually? Masha? Vasya? This will not work! A pirate must have a nickname so that he cannot be identified by his real name.
The guys choose pirate names for themselves. Prepare cards - red and blue, with names for girls and boys. Anyone who wants can come up with a nickname for themselves. You can make badges, hang them up and call the guys by their pirate nicknames throughout the party. Frisky Joe, Ragged Ear, Miss Mary, One-Eyed Bill and the like.
QC: Phew, we figured it out! Have you already come up with a team name? Have you chosen a captain? Why not? Let's go! Those into whom you will instill fear and horror must call you something!
They come up with a name and choose a captain. You can give this honor to the birthday person. And if it’s not your birthday, then, like true pirates, decide the issue by drawing lots. For example, take chocolate coins out of a bag. Whoever gets the special one (in foil of a different color) will be the captain.
QC: Why are you hanging your noses? Don't be upset - the captain's share is not at all as sweet as birthday cake. And who is a captain without his team? Every pirate on the ship and in battle is important! Let's fill the holds (let's eat and drink), while I go get some gifts. I like you, a thousand devils! How can you not pamper such brave pirates?
QC: Have you eaten and drunk? Well done! Only now, someone stole the sea urchin in my liver and stole the gifts!
“Someone” comes out - the villain, the presenter’s assistant.
QC: Oh, you torn jellyfish! Come on, give me my chest!
Assistant: Here's another! They just arrived, didn’t really show themselves, and you immediately hand them treasures? Well, I do not! I hid them at the other end of the island and drew a map. Let them go in search of treasures. And we'll look at their pirate skills. Maybe they are not pirates at all, but...
QC: Guys, let's show this toad burp what we're worth? Shall we get our treasures?
- Yes Yes!
QC: Then go ahead! Through the quicksand deep into the island!
- A large yellow sheet with holes of different diameters and at different distances. Holds two to four adults. You can cut the sheet lengthwise and sew it so that you get a long strip. The guys must quickly walk through the “quicksand”, stepping only into the holes.
QC: Well done, everyone did a great job! But, according to the map, there is an enemy camp ahead. Let's practice swinging sabers. Otherwise they will stop us halfway...
- Foam, inflatable or cardboard saber swords. A thin long board on the floor. The two are having a duel. The goal is to stand on the board (you can sit on a bench if your children are of school age). If you step on the floor, make way for the next person. And so on until everyone has played enough.
- Give the children two small boards or cardboards with the Jolly Roger - the wreckage of an enemy galleon. Organize a swamp: scatter pieces of green fabric or paper across the floor. Children must cross the swamps by standing on only one of the “debris”. You stand on one, put the second one in front of you, climb over it, and shift the freed “piece” in front of you. And so on until the finish.
While the children are moving through the swamp, the villainous assistant is quietly taken aside (so that the children do not see). And they attach about 30 fish clothespins to his clothes.
QC: You did great - the swamp devil didn’t drag anyone to the bottom! Well done! Where is our wrecker? Did he drown?
An assistant comes out wearing clothespins and hanging his head.
QC: Aha-ha-ha, the anchor is in my throat, that’s what you want! How will you go further?
Assistant offended: But no way! And I’ll hide the chest so that Flint himself won’t find it! Let's unhook these toothy reptiles. But wait... It's a great chance to test our pirates... Well, let's see how attentive you are. KK, blindfold them and let them manage by touch. And don't you dare tickle me!
- Blindfolded children unfasten clothespins. You can compete to see who can unhook the most piranhas.
Assistant: Well, thank you! For this, I will tell you a secret - there is an ambush ahead. I know for sure, because I am familiar with these fragments on which you climbed through the swamp... Apparently, my enemies crashed on the rocky shore of our island... Oh, it will be hard for you! Get ready!
QC: Damn the jellyfish, here they are!
- While the children were blindfolded, the presenter prepared the props for the accuracy competition. Depending on the age of the children, you can throw darts at face targets, knock down enemy paper figures with soft balls, and put out candles (with face bands) using water pistols.
QC: Phew, it looks like everyone was sent to fish food... Let's refresh ourselves before we stomp further.
QC: Karamba, we're almost there!
Assistant: Don't rush, otherwise you'll make it in time. First you need to get the key. I'll have to spend the rest of my life scrubbing the deck if I give it for that!
- The key can be hidden in a large pinata (ship, skull, kraken). Or pour streamers and candies into several balloons, and also put a key in one.
QC: Well, that's it, there is a key. Let's go for the treasure!
Assistant: Look, they scattered like crabs at the sight of my boot! You, of course, are dexterous and brave, and everyone around you is tanned... And what about your intelligence? Didn't you deprive Calypso? If you don’t make a mistake here, so be it – I’ll give up the chest.
- Quiz on a sea/pirate theme, riddles, charades, puzzles. You can prepare several questions or a test with humorous answers. At your discretion and according to the age of the guys, so that most of the young guests of the party are not bored.
QC: Well, how did the team cope, evil one?
Assistant: I admit - real pirates have gathered! Both brave and smart - just right! I like treasure hunts like this – a sight for sore eyes! Sort out your treasures. Make sure you don't get into a fight, otherwise you'll ruin the whole impression. You are a friendly team, with you even for monkfish, even for boarding!
Completing the quest: the grand opening of a chest with the most valuable treasures - sets of gifts packed in themed bags or boxes. Toys, movie tickets, coloring books, puzzles - according to budget and age. It is better to collect identical sets so that no one leaves offended. And attach something as a souvenir - medals or certificates of real pirates.
QC: Have you sorted out the treasures? Now welcome to the table! Our cook has prepared a wonderful surprise for you!
They bring a surprise - a pirate cake. We eat and have fun in free mode. Happy holiday to you!
The first associations with the word “PIRATE” that pop up are, of course, ships, flags with skulls, treasure chests, barrels of rum, bandanas and cocked hats, travel and adventure.
If you decide to give your child a real holiday, feel free to choose a party theme - pirate. Children simply love mysteries, adventures and travel, especially when all this happens in a relaxed, friendly and fun atmosphere.
To organize a pirate party, you will need to purchase or make some necessary thematic attributes with your own hands, prepare “pirate” cuisine and, of course, come up with a fascinating story that will be filled with adventures, unexpected surprises and challenges.
The news portal “site” tried to present itself as the organizer of a pirate party, and this is what our editorial team would do.
First, you will need to make the necessary accessories that children attending the party can wear to look like a bunch of real pirates. Pirate accessories: a cocked hat made of cardboard, a hook instead of a hand, a bandana, cardboard or balloon swords.
In order to organize an unforgettable photo shoot at a party, we recommend making mobile pirate masks. Alternatively, it could be a mustache, a cocked hat, or an eye patch on a wooden stick. Children will be able to apply such masks to themselves, make faces and take pictures.
Now you need to decorate the room where the party will take place. Use balloons in black or with the image of skulls, pirate flags, chests with “treasures” (mom’s old jewelry is very useful here), a ship’s steering wheel (it can be cut out of cardboard and painted with paints), wooden barrels, etc.
Hang themed paper garlands, paper anchors and paper skulls cut out on the walls.
Now let's start decorating the main party item - the festive table. You can use pieces of burlap or a fishing net as a tablecloth.
If you still prefer a tablecloth, then choose one with a striped pattern.
The ideal option for decorating a festive table at a pirate party is to create a real ship with sails and pirate flags.
Scatter chocolate gold coins on the holiday table and place bottles of drinks decorated in a pirate style.
Not least important at a pirate party is the menu of “pirate” cuisine. Watermelon in the shape of a ship, an angry shark or a treasure chest. Sandwiches in the shape of skulls, cakes in the shape of shells with pearls.
If you don't have a lot of time to create themed dishes, you can make pirate flags in advance, attach them to toothpicks, and then use them to decorate traditional holiday dishes.
And finally, about the entertainment at the pirate party. As soon as the guests gather at the pirate party, give them a plastic bottle containing a real pirate map indicating where the treasure is.
Arrange all kinds of tests for children, after passing which the little pirates would become one step closer to their cherished treasures.
