Map for a pirate party. Universal competitions for a pirate party

Pirates... They always appear out of nowhere and disappear into nowhere. They are brave, vicious and bloodthirsty. They know how to be passionate lovers and play hide and seek with death. Pirates... Today they will come to visit you. Don't disappoint them! Meet your expectations and they will thank you according to the laws of the sea! So, it's time to welcome guests! The hour "H" has come! Raise the sails! The Black Pearl sets off in search of adventure!

Progress of the Pitrat festival

We welcome the guests of the pirates

It would be nice if the entrance of your house was decorated like a ship's gangway.

And you yourself - with a parrot on your shoulder - were waiting for your pirate guests on the doorstep.

Each new arrival should be greeted with fanfare or a cannon salvo (of course, not a real one, but recorded on a player disc) and greeted with a friendly pirate "Mateys Ahoy!" This approach will allow guests to immediately get rid of complexes and awkwardness, and dive headfirst into a big children's game for adults. After all, we all once watched films about sea adventures and dreamed of being in the place of the main characters. Today there is such an opportunity! Take advantage of it and bring back for a moment the sweet, happy moments of your fairy-tale childhood!

MUSIC FOR A PIRATE PARTY

By the way, an important factor influencing the mood of guests is music. Don't let the pirates sit in a corner in complete silence! Characteristic for a party of this type, lively, perky music should constantly sound in the background. So, in advance, even before the pirate binge begins, take care of creating a high-quality playlist. I recommend including the following songs in your playlist:

You can also add a few famous songs by Russian legendary artists (this is necessary so that all the pirates can sing along).

Entertainment for a pirate party

So, the guests have already gathered, the music is playing, there is a calm sea outside, and on board there is a cheerful crew making fun of each other. Invite your guests (as an aperitif) to drink a glass of “Caribbean Hurricane” or “Mojito”. This will help you relax and completely transform into the chosen vicious image. By the way, I recommend meeting the guests at the very beginning of the evening. Literally! Let them tell you who they are today and what they know about the life of their chosen character. If your guests do not attach importance to a deep study of the history of their costume, invite them to simply choose a pirate name from the list of the most famous filibusters of different times. For example - Esther Hutless, Captain Roberto Firebeard, Ozzie Grimm, Samuel Ax, John Silver (Wooden Leg), Henry Morgan, Edward Teach (Blackbeard).

After the “pirate initiation”, reward each guest with a bag of ten pirate coins (piasters or doubloons) and offer them a competition. Tell them that throughout the evening this money can be stolen from each other, played cards with it, exchanged, bought and sold. This commercial approach will enliven the party and add excitement to all upcoming competitions in your entertainment program. Well, at the end of the program, the “richest” pirate will receive a prize!

Of course, before setting sail, it is necessary to arrange a test for the future team! Test their seamanship, reliability, strength, endurance, courage, prudence, intelligence. For this purpose - our next tasks!

Warm up. Tug of War	Having a team spirit is the key to good sailing, even if it is full of unexpected skirmishes and battles! Let's test the strength and dexterity of the applicants! Props: rope, water guns. Number of participants: double room, minimum 4 people. Rules: all participants are divided into two teams. A control line is determined (a step beyond which is considered a defeat), at the command “march!” the teams begin to pull the rope towards themselves. Members of the winning team receive 1 coin, while the losing team is punished. Their punishment is to walk through the corridor of “pirates” armed with water pistols, withstand the water attack and continue the competition with dignity!
Game 1. Duel	Props: toy (rubber) swords or swords. Participants: in pairs, minimum 2 people. Essence: two pirates stand opposite each other on the edges of a narrow bench or log. Their task is to push the enemy to the ground. The pirate whose foot touches stable ground first wins and gets richer by another 1 doubloon. The loser leaves in disgrace, or tries his fate again, with a new opponent.
Quiz. Pirates of the Caribbean - attentiveness test	There is an unwritten rule at sea: in order to save life, you need to pay attention to the little things. Let's check how well the pirates know the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", how attentive are the applicants for the Black Pearl crew? 1. What was the name of the pirate who had a glass eye? (Ragetti). 2. The names of the actors, except Johnny Depp, who were in contention for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow (Michael Keaton, Jim Carrey, Christopher Walken). 3. How long is the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 2"? (150 minutes). 4. On which island was the film filmed? (St. Vincent). 5. What was the name of Davy Jones' ship? ("Flying Dutchman"). 6. How many years did Davy Jones allow Jack Sparrow to control the Black Pearl? (13 years old). 7. What animal was depicted on Barbosa's ring? (bear). 8. Where was the key to the chest with Davy Jones's heart hidden? (between the beard tentacles). 9. What was the name of the gambling game that Will Turner and Davy Jones played? ("Liar"). 10. Who gave Will Turner the gold medallion? (father, Bill Turner). 11. What tattoo did Jack Sparrow have on his arm? (sparrow). 12. What ship did Jack Sparrow steal in the first part? (Interceptor). 13. What sea monster attacked a Royal Navy ship? (Kreken). 14. The name of Captain Barbosa's monkey. (Jack). 15. How many gold medallions in total needed to be returned to the chest? (882). For each correct answer, the pirate receives a coin; for each incorrect answer, he must give a coin from his bag.
Game 2. Search for the glass eye	Many pirates lost arms, legs, even eyes and ears in battles. One of these unlucky guys in "Pirates" was Ragetti. In one scene he even lost his glass eye. Help the loser find his missing item! Props: glass eye; bowl with cherry tomatoes, ketchup, jelly; textile; pebbles. Participants: everyone is interested. Rules: a bowl with viscous contents, pebbles and an eye is covered with a cloth. Those wishing to participate are invited to put their hand under the fabric and identify the eye by touch. The one who can cope with disgust and finds the eye gets another coin! Be sure to keep your camera nearby! You won’t be able to capture such genuine emotions from your friends anywhere else!
Game 3. "Liar's Dice"	Another game that requires quick wits and ingenuity. Props: bones and cups. Participants: everyone is interested. The essence of the game: Each participant is required to have manual dexterity and the ability to deceive and detect the opponent's deception. In the game you have to guess how many dice are hidden under the cups. In Liar's Dice, guests play with their previously earned gold coins. At this time, the presenter has the opportunity to rest or prepare the props for the next game.
Game 4. Walk the board	Props: a board set at a 45 degree angle to the ground and secured at only one end. Participants: everyone is interested. Rules: the participant stands on the edge of the board and is asked questions related to the sea, pirate laws, wars, etc. He answers them. After each correct answer, he can take a step forward, after an incorrect answer, the board begins to shake. If the participant fails to maintain balance, he will be eaten by sharks; if he remains standing, he will get a chance to answer one more question. The one who reaches the end of the board wins and receives another coin as a reward. The loser must drink a glass of rum in one gulp.
Game 5. Sunken Treasure	Don't feed the pirates bread, let them look for treasure! The treasure will be retrieved both from underground and from the depths of the sea. Just the next competition will give your pirates the opportunity to compete in their greed! Props: small toys, beads, bolts, coins, etc., a shallow container with sand, children's sand scoops. Participants: everyone is interested. Rules: at the presenter’s signal “Start!” The participants in the game begin to rummage through containers of sand. Their task is to find coins using only scoops and without touching the “treasures” with their hands. All the “gold” that each pirate manages to dig up in 5 minutes will go to him!
Game 6. Shark	Props: sheets of cardboard (1 less in number than participants), a poster with a picture of a shark. Rules: place sheets of cardboard throughout the garden (room), turn on music (it’s more fun). The Shark's task is to sit behind the poster and wait until one of the pirates "swims" too close to her hideout. If this happens, she starts hunting. Salvation is only on the “Island” (sheet of cardboard). One of the pirates who does not have time to reach the island, or there are not enough “islands of safety” for him, leaves the game, naturally, in the shark’s stomach. After each eliminated participant, the number of “islands” is reduced by one. The last survivor receives the coveted piastre.
Game 7. Sea battle	A very emotional and fun game! Especially if you have equipped a real pirate ship in your yard! Props: cannonballs (balls or sand balloons). Rules of the game: all participants are divided into two teams - the pirates of the Black Pearl and the residents of Tortuga Island. Pirates board a ship. The islanders are attacking. The task of the residents of Tortuga is to throw balls at the Sparrow pirates, and the task of the Pearl crew is to prevent at least one ball from ending up on the deck of the ship. Option 2. If you haven’t built a ship, for this game you can simply draw a ship on a sheet of whatman paper, making holes at different levels. In this case, the pirates' task will be to throw cannonballs (polystyrene foam balls) into the holes. The winners, as always, get a golden surprise!

As promised, I’m posting the script. Thanks to everyone who helped find materials for the party. And we will do all this ourselves on Monday!

Presenter: Sea wolves! Conquerors of the ocean spaces! Invincible corsairs! I welcome you aboard our unsinkable ship!

Today an exciting journey awaits us - we have obtained a map where the treasure is hidden, and our team must certainly find it.

Presenter: And now the captain and boatswain choose their assistants and are divided into two teams. Each team must come up with a name for itself.

Game "Pli"
Testing sea wolves for accuracy.
Two teams. Two buckets. We make shells from cotton wool or paper and distribute them to two teams. The task is to get into the bucket from a short distance. Whichever team has the fewest mistakes wins!

Game "Boarding"

We place two chairs away from each other. These are ships. At the command “Board!” Each team begins to climb onto their chair-ship. Fast, energetic music is playing. When the music stops, the game stops. The team that has the most members on the deck of the attacked ship (i.e. on the chair) wins.

Host: Now let's see how both teams cope with an even more difficult task. This is a game of skill and dexterity:
Game: To navigate the sea on ships you need to be able to maintain balance during a storm. You need to quickly walk along the rope and not fall (not get off it). You need to walk strictly heel to toe!
But where will we get the rope? It's simple: here are rolls twisted from palm leaves (toilet paper). You must unwind and twist as long as possible without breaking the rope! If your rope breaks, then you, like real sea robbers, will be able to tie it with a sea knot (show how long the rope should be)
Get ready, attention, let's start!

Presenter: A thousand devils! You have proven that you are capable of much! You know how to walk a tightrope, you know how to be a team, and I'll be damned if I'm wrong - and we have talent on board! A dance and song competition on a marine theme is announced. Draw lots, noble pirates! You will do what Lady Fortune gives you.

Hand out sheets of paper with song numbers and just a few sheets of paper with any number. Karaoke is sung by those who pulled out the numbers of the songs, and those who have three perform a gypsy song sitting on chairs. Then the task becomes more complicated - only the upper body must dance. Let's complicate it - just the head. Let's complicate it - just the tongue, nose, eyes and ears.

Presenter: Bravo everyone!!! We have a real team!! After this trip, we can safely go on a tour! While the artists and spectators come to their senses, a short halt is announced. (snack, smoke break and pee-pee, preparation for the second part of the party)

Host: The bells are ringing, everyone aboard! Gentlemen pirates, come to the table quickly - the rum is going sour! Now comes the most important part - finding the treasure! Let's quickly wet our throats and go look for him. (We drank and had a snack.)

Presenter: We are divided into two teams - the boatswain and the captain.
I have a message. It's here. Tasks in them. But first, a little warm-up. All sailors must be able to listen to the captain and follow orders around the ship. Otherwise, when some go to the left, others to the right, there will be a mess, and we won’t find anything. If you hear the command
Left hand drive! - everyone runs to the left side
Right steering wheel! - everyone runs to the starboard side
Nose! - everyone runs forward.
Stern! - everyone runs back.
Raise the sails! - everyone stops and raises their hands up.
Scrub the deck! - everyone pretends to wash the floor.
Cannonball! - everyone squats.
The admiral is on board! - everyone freezes, stands at attention and salutes.

Have you started? (A warm-up game is being played)

Host: Here's a message for you. Study it carefully. (handing over the message)

Well, the route is not easy. The difficulty of passing this route lies in the fact that you will have to go through reefs, blindly - through the fog, but the captain and boatswain will help you. Captain and boatswain, select one navigator player from your team. He must lead the submarine to the first piece of the map.

Game "REEFS"
Skittles or cubes, chairs, bottles are placed on the floor in such a way that they display underwater reefs that the ship must overcome without deviating from the intended course. The pirates are blindfolded and asked to “navigate the ship”, avoiding all dangers, without straying from the intended course and without hitting a single sign. Hints are pouring in on the navigator from all sides. Correct ones are from the team, incorrect ones are from opponents.

Prizes are awarded to the participants, the first piece of the card and the next message.

GAME "Piglets"
Place rice, peas or buckwheat (boiled) in small plates. Separately, place toothpicks on a large flat dish. One player is selected and they are given one toothpick. The competition is whoever eats everything faster and clears the bottom of his plate. How? There's no map? Maybe the player ate it unnoticed? And what day is the piece of map on then? And where the toothpicks were. Turn the plate over - a piece of card is there.

Prizes are awarded to the participants, a second piece of the card and the following message.

GAME “Land - water”
All participants stand in one line as soon as I say “land”, or that’s it. As for land, you need to jump forward. But if I says "water", or anything related to water, you need to jump back. Whoever makes a mistake is eliminated, whoever comes first gets a prize and a piece of map.
Lined up, listening: water, sea, jelly, stone, river, ocean, tree, stream, island, compote, heel, puddle, broth, glass, cologne, beer, lake, rain, Volga, fountain, fruit drink...

Prizes are awarded to the participants, a third piece of the card and the following message.

Relay game:
Two teams take turns running to a table where there is a bottle, glass, candy or banana.
The first player opens the bottle, the second pours it into a glass, the third drinks, the fourth unwraps candy or banana, the fifth takes a bite.

If they argue about who came running first, the competition is repeated.

Prizes are awarded to participants, the winning team collects a card

And he finds a chest. I have this chest. I want to put it on a chandelier in a large hall, and put a note in it: “bottle of champagne” and take it out to the player.

Show picture

Presenter: Congratulations to everyone, the goal has been achieved, all tests have been passed! And now our captains will present you with commemorative certificates that confirm that you are real pirates! (presentation of certificates)

And now, a thousand devils, it won’t hurt us to shake the bones, the fun continues!

Additional games:

KNOT
Any pirate simply must have the art of tying sea knots. The next competition will show how novice robbers can do this. First you need to appoint a leader. It could be the birthday boy himself. The presenter leaves the room. The remaining participants firmly hold hands, forming a closed chain. This chain needs to be 'tied' into a sea knot. Players can twist around, step over the hands of the player standing next to them, and crawl anywhere without letting go of their neighbor’s hand. After the sea knot is ready and the participants are “twisted” to the limit, the pirate crew shouts: “Polundra!” The leader enters the room and unravels the knot without breaking the chain. The competition can be repeated several times. The presenter receives gold coins. You can also reward the desperate pirates who courageously endured the inconvenient
position.

Blind
A “blind” sailor is selected from among the players. The remaining players, holding hands, stand around the leader. He claps his hands, and the participants in the game begin to walk in a circle. The leader claps again - and the players in the circle stop and freeze. After this, the presenter points to one of the guys, trying to guess who it is. If he guesses right the first time, then the person the leader guessed takes his place. If the presenter did not guess correctly on the first try, then he can touch this participant and try to guess a second time, he can ask the participant to say a word, bark, meow, etc. If successful, the player who was recognized becomes “blind”.

I hope you find it useful. Thanks to everyone who stopped by!

A fair wind, a hold full of treasures and no dull everyday life - continuous adventures. Yes, sometimes exciting, but it’s even more fun! And after the on-screen acquaintance with Jack Sparrow, a pirate party for adults has become almost the most favorite holiday theme for Halloween, birthdays, corporate meetings and even weddings!

Decor

To start decide what the design will be - cartoon or cinematic. In the first case, almost all the scenery will have to be drawn, cut, and painted. Cartoon attributes for a pirate party are available in stores - garlands, disposable tableware, flags, boats, etc.

This is a more economical option when you just want to have fun with friends without carefully thinking through decorations. Perfect for a family party with many children. Read more.

If we are talking about a party in the style of pirates of the Caribbean, the design is supposed to be more realistic. This does not mean that you need to completely abandon bright holiday paraphernalia. It’s just that the interior should end up looking more like a scene from a movie than like a kindergarten hall hung with colorful decorations.

The colors of the evening are black, white-red and white-blue stripes, red and blue, brown. Some attributes can be decorated with “precious” stones. The interior should have silver and gold - spray paint, glitter.

Easy to implement ideas for a pirate party:

• remove everything that obviously does not fit into the topic. Cover anything that is difficult to remove. For this print and glue (or draw) ships, chests, etc. onto thick cardboard. Replace inappropriate paintings with photos, movie posters, Jolly Roger flags, sails, fishing nets;

• the ceiling can be covered with pieces of fabric hanging freely in waves - the same imitation of nets and/or sails;

• It is advisable to choose rough, wooden or wicker furniture. Instead of chairs, benches, stools without backs and even drawers will fit perfectly;

If the comfortable arrangement of guests is a priority, drape regular armchairs. For a party in a pirate style, chiffon, tulle, burlap, nets - tulle, painting, mosquito nets - are suitable.

• tie nautical knots from thick ropes, hang on the walls, backs of chairs, ceiling. On the net here and there, attach seahorses and stars, crabs, fish, algae;

• arrange barrels, roughly knocked together boxes, fake guns. You can put forged lanterns, treats in large bowls, and deliberately dirty bottles of rum on the barrel boxes;

• certainly use candles in decoration, you can simulate it on batteries. “Antique” candlesticks are easy to make with your own hands, for example, from aluminum cans (painted with silver/gold). Candles in “dirty” bowls, glass jars with shells and sand look atmospheric;

• if you decide to organize a pirate party for Halloween, don’t skimp on the dark details – skeletons, cobwebs and spiders, bats, creepy sea monsters, gravestones, ghosts (cardboard, figures, silhouettes);

• make anchors and lifebuoys out of cardboard/plywood, hang and display old maps. It would be great if you could find a marine compass, a telescope, a sextant, a barometer, or a telescope. If not, print the photo, cut it out and glue it onto a cardboard base;

• use fake precious stones, pearls, silverware in compositions, coins and ancient jewelry, symbolizing countless treasures. Place the most valuable loot in chests. A real pirate chest is still an anachronism, so it’s better to spend time gluing a paper/cardboard template. Although, if you wish, you can put together a pirate chest from a base box or plywood, chipboard. Boxes are also suitable - carved wooden ones, without colorful designs.

• Even though this is an adult pirate party, without bright holiday accents the decor will turn out too gloomy. Add some color:
  • garlands of recognizable paraphernalia and pirate accessories - ships, flags, anchors, skeletons, pirate figures, weapons, sea monsters;
  • knotted ribbon decoration on a clothesline or sisal rope (imitation rope) they will enliven the space (the fabric is better striped, blue or red and white, plus flags with a skull/crossbones);
  • buy stylized balloons or draw themed attributes on red, black, blue balloons.

Photozone

• If you are having a party outdoors, build a “facade” of a pirate ship from scrap materials. Place stools in the back for guests to step onto the deck. Cut out porthole windows in the side.

• Tantamaresca- a gallant company of pirates celebrates a successful voyage, divides the loot, etc. Cardboard base, printed on top, windows for faces. Or organize the space - the scenery for the chosen scene.

• Boat on a blue background with clouds. In the foreground of the photo zone are paper wings of waves. We climb inside, take pirate accessories - a map, a telescope, a bottle of rum (whatever).

• Banner with photos of movie pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean is especially popular. You can print repeated photos of characters or your favorite movie scene on the banner.

• The Black Pearl's cabin, captain's bridge, etc. More suitable for indoor party. Although you can organize it on the street, only the background will have to be covered with wooden shields or the photo zone should be placed against the wall of a house, barn, or in front of a fence.

Invitations

It's great if invitations to a pirate party reflect the level of preparation for the holiday. If the decorations are simple and cartoonish, so should the invitations.

All at the highest level? Aged paper, elegant antique font, pearls, silver.

• rolled up message in a sealed bottle with shells and stones;

• paper pirate schooner, matches, wooden model. Text on the sail or in the hold;

• card with burnt, frayed edges. Schematic diagram of the road to the party venue (mark several main points along the way). Text over background map;

• Black Mark. Text on the postcard spread;

• miniature paper chests. The text is on the letter inside, in a scattering of chocolate coins and candies in foil.

Come up with pirate nicknames for your guests if this moment is not included in the script. Include pirate slang and recognizable phrases in the invitation. Write the time, place, dress code and other official information in the corner below or on the card included with the invitation.

On the sixth day, a company of the most notorious pirates gathers on the deck of *Name of the ship, cafe*. And you are among them, *Guest name*
There will be something to fill the holds and wet the throat. Let's shake the bones in the company of young and very generous girls. Sea urchin in your ass if you don't come!
P.S: There are rumors that, in addition to drinking until the hell out of hell, old *Name of the organizer* is preparing an exciting and profitable business for us!

Suits

Girls dressed as ladies - retro dress and hairstyle, elegant, brand new. Or a tomboy, a seductive bandit - torn stockings, fishnet suspenders, a short retro skirt, a corset with a deep neckline, a creative mess on her head, bright makeup.

Costumes in unisex style are perfect for a pirate party. Forgetting for a moment about the stupid story about women on ships, ladies can transform into the most charming crew members. In this case, the clothes only differ in design from the men’s pirate costume - more open and not so baggy.

Options:

• vest with blue or red stripes. For girls - with a deep neckline, lowered on one shoulder, tied under the chest with a knot, etc.;

• Image of a pirate girl easy to recreate from a couple of clothing items: a short dress with a deep neckline, a full skirt and wide sleeves, over which a fitted leather sleeveless vest is thrown or a miniature corset is worn. Themed accessories will complete the look.

• white or cream shirt. The sleeves are loose, preferably with puffy cuffs. “Pirate” cuffs and frills can be easily sewn with your own hands or assembled with an elastic band (worn as a bracelet, fastened with buttons, eyelets, etc.);

• not suitable for outdoor heat pirate frock coat, camisole, vest, leather cloak. But indoors/in the sun they are cumbersome. It's better to take a couple of photos and take off your outerwear. Or let this part of the costume be made of light fabric, fake;

• shortened breeches, like Jack Sparrow's. Baggy pants, loose, tucked into boots. Leather trousers, for ladies - narrow, tight. Boots with high tops, fabric ones are more convenient: sew fake tops directly to the trousers. For girls, short boots or high-heeled shoes are suitable. Thick knee socks and closed shoes in color will pass for over the knee boots.

Clothes can have holes in several places, become disheveled, and become worn out. This way the image will turn out to be more natural - a well-worn camisole, an unwashed shirt, trampled boots. Transferable tattoos are also in the theme.

Enthusiasts willing to take the time to create an elaborate costume have plenty to choose from: William Ternet, Billy Bootstrap, Tia Dalma, Elizabeth Swan, Davy Jones, Mister Cotton. And that's just Pirates of the Caribbean!

Accessories for a pirate-themed party play almost a bigger role than costumes. They are the ones who make the chosen image unambiguous and recognizable:

• pistols, saber or sword, knife. Shoulder belt, scabbard;
• compass, telescope, watch on a chain;
• a wide sling (a scarf will do, maybe a bright one with fringe);
• leather belt with a buckle (you can have two at once, like Jack Sparrow);
• neck scarf, bandana, eye patch, cocked hat;
• stylized jewelry (large rings, hoop earrings, skulls and bones);
• various little things in the hair, on the belt, wrists. Talismans, amulets made of skins, bones, fabric, beads.

Menu, serving

Simple table decoration ideas for a pirate party:

• Shared buffet table. Cover with a tablecloth and put on a net. Decorate the “skirt” of the tablecloth with steering wheels, anchors, and ropes. Place the mast with sails in the center of the table or on the back wall, in the background. If there is no room for a mast, you can place the “sail” horizontally, in waves directly above the table, under the ceiling.

• Several country tables with sticks for installing sun umbrellas. But instead of umbrellas, build masts-sails. Come up with a name for each ship table and sew it on the tablecloth on the front side of the “side”.

• Move a large table to the wall, cover it to the floor with burlap or thick fabric. Place boxes and barrels on top - several tiers, chaotically. And on them are plates and dishes with snacks, bottles, cans instead of glasses(port surroundings or hold).

• Choose dishes based on your level of preparation and the importance of the event. These can be stylized paper plates, glasses, glass and crystal, or “silver” - cups, trays, “antique” cutlery.

• Use pirate flags and other recognizable paraphernalia to decorate skewers, tubes, serving cups. It’s easier to lay out/post cards beautifully than to rack your brains over the thematic design of each dish.

• Several barrels with taps and globe bar will fit perfectly into the theme.

• Buy ice molds – skulls, bones, balls, fish, boats, diamonds. You can replace them with molds for chocolate and baking.

• Are you having a pirate party for Halloween? Be sure to use watermelons, melons and pumpkins to decorate the hall and for serving any dishes (bowls of halves).

• For a pirate birthday, order a cake in a recognizable style. Islands, treasure chests, ships, etc. An unforgettable surprise for the birthday boy and all the guests!

• Place sweets in cardboard chests and boats, in decorated transparent jars, vases. Buy a lot of candies in multi-colored foil (precious stones, in bulk), chocolate bars (also in foil - ingots). Make flags, anchors, steering wheels, etc. from mastic, decorate cupcakes, cakes, and cookies.

For added ambience, include a large whole baked fish and seafood in the pirate menu. The rest is up to your taste. Sliced ​​vegetables, fruits, any salads. A buffet is ideal when plans include active fun, games, and dancing. Canapés, miniature sandwiches, snacks in baskets and vases, kebabs themselves are a bright decoration for the table.

Any drinks are available, but for atmosphere, you can put a few bottles of rum on the table. Print out the “vintage” labels and re-glue them. You can “age” the bottles themselves - dust them, wrap the necks with twine, and glue them with themed decor.

Since this is an adult pirate party, there is no point in fiddling with each dish for a long time. But Some of the appetizers from the menu can be served in “boats” and the “sails” raised. Making a boat with your own hands is very simple. You need a skewer (mast), a board and a sail. Boat – an empty half of a cucumber, an orange, an egg, diamond-shaped bread, a basket, etc. Any filling inside, a sail on a skewer - lettuce, shrimp, a thin slice of cheese, ham, cucumber.

Entertainment

When choosing a scenario for a pirate party for adults, consider the space available to guests. For example, it is better to organize a treasure hunt on a map in nature. Those. literally look for a place marked with a cross, walking nearby and completing quest after quest. Treasures can also be hidden indoors. But if there is not enough space, you won’t be able to roam around much. This means that the quest itself and the competitions must be feasible on the spot.

Pirate scenario options:

• With the invitation, each guest also receives a piece of a pirate map. Arriving at the party guests put them together into a map with marked points. Tags are games and competitions that “lead” to a hidden chest;

• The card is torn and lost. Guests complete tasks, receiving a reward for each competition - another fragment. At the end, they fold the card and simply go to the chest;

Theme songs and music for a pirate party will come in handy during competitions. Download several songs from films and cartoons, make cuts. And you can dance and relax to any fiery music, especially since there are not many pirate songs that are truly suitable for a party.

• Instead of cards, games are rewarded with message fragments. For example, “The treasure is buried under the palm tree.” Cut the text into as many pieces as are provided for in the competition. The chest is placed in a box and in the far corner of the room. And above the box or in front of it is a cardboard “landmark”. In our example, this is a palm tree. You can come up with a riddle instead of a direct indication: “The treasure is where two pirates anchored together.” In pirate slang, “anchors came together” - they fought, i.e. You need to glue a picture of two fighting pirates onto the box.

• Several teams are fighting for the right to open the treasury. Suitable for large parties, when there are at least a couple of dozen “pirates”;

• The chest contains rewards with price tags. For each competition, the winners are awarded gold coins, doubloons or black marks. At the end, the accumulated wealth can be spent on gifts from the “dead man's chest”.

Regardless of the chosen scenario, you can schedule both team and solo competitions. If the plot does not provide for division into teams, simply play out this moment, for example, as training for a close-knit pirate gang.

Any competitions will fit into the scenario of a pirate party, for adults (in pairs, far from puritanical - according to the mood of the company) or for children, slightly modified in accordance with the theme. Use pirate slang and nicknames to create an atmosphere:

Moor - sit down
Shake your bones - dance
Fill the hold - have a snack
Where can you whisper with the Jolly Roger? - where is the toilet?
It's stormy in the hold - I'm drunk

Initiation into pirates

Leading: to become a real pirate, it’s not enough to be able to rip your throat, fill your tonsils and drag everything that’s not lying around into the hold. Anchor to my liver if I'm wrong! Every pirate is also obliged to maintain order on the ship! We're not cesspool rats!

Divide the floor into two sections using masking tape or another mark. Scatter balloons and crumpled newspapers. Provide guests with mops. Two teams, on either side of the dividing line. The goal is to throw “garbage” from your “deck” onto your neighbors’ board. For three minutes, guests push “garbage” back and forth with mops to a cheerful song. At the end, you need to evaluate the “cleanliness of the ship” of each team.

Aboard

IN: Is it difficult to board a combat frigate without preparation? No? Well, let's see if you are sea devils or boiled jellyfish!

Two chairs, two teams. The goal is to climb onto someone else’s chair-ship in a minute. The team whose members were able to fit on the enemy “frigate” in greater numbers wins.

Friendly duel

IN: Hey, on deck! How many holds can be filled? Let's see how you draw with sabers. Otherwise, all the brave ones grind their tongues, but when it comes to it, the fry are inept!

A thin board or bench, a fake weapon. The two wave their sabers, trying to throw the enemy to the floor. The loser gives way to the next pirate.

Not just a battle

IN: You know how to swing mops and sabers, I admit. Well, how will there be nothing to scrub and no one to compare the length of knives with? What if Fortune turns its back on you and throws you onto an uninhabited island?

For a pirate-themed birthday party, you can rent equipment and play “pirates VS savages” paintball. An easier option is to get food on a desert island:

• darts-spears at the target;
• rings on hooks suspended on the shield;
• from a bow with suction cup arrows into the prey (the gunpowder got wet, I have to use the “grandfather’s” method);
• throw a lasso on mops in a bucket (glue a fake deer head to the mop);
• any other way to test the pirate's accuracy, depending on the location of the party.

The elbow is close

IN: It’s not for me to tell you how often several worthy teams of thugs and notorious scoundrels travel along the same route. Competition, so that it would be torn apart... And there are less unexcavated treasures left than worthy young ladies in the port at night... I’m grinding something with my tongue like a drunken boatswain, thunder strike me! Let's dig it up already!

A large basin with sand and buried treasure - any shiny nonsense. The goal is to use a teaspoon (or Chinese chopsticks?) to get more treasures than your opponents in a minute. You can do it in teams or every man for himself.

One leg is good!

IN: The pirate, unprepared for any losses, has rotten cuttlefish ink instead of brains! There *pirate nickname of the blindfolded guest* lost his eye, and nothing happened - invigorating! What if he blows out his leg with a cannonball? Let's see how you cope with such a twist!

Relay race, two teams racing or all together. At the finish line there is a chair with a bottle and glasses. On the bottle is the label “Rum – life-giving drink!” The guest bends one leg and jumps to the finish line, leaning on a crutch or cane (for decoration). Having reached the stool, he pours and drinks the “life-giving swill” - the leg grows back! I ran back and passed the crutch to the next one. If you're having a pirate birthday, have all the party guests toast before the "healing."

Frigate Regatta

IN: All that remains is to test the strength of the pirate spirit. Davy Jones, an anchor in his throat, lets the weak ones go in packs as food for the fish!

Miniature paper boats, start-finish on a smooth surface. You need to blow on your boat so that it “sails” to the finish line before the others. You can use teams of two large ships and all together blow into the “sails” of your frigate.

Where does the rum go all the time? (c) Jack Sparrow

IN: Yo-ho-ho, honorable pirates! I have no more doubts that only the most notorious swindlers, tricksters and other filibusters have gathered here! Let's drink to the bottom for this!

Two teams and two big bowls. Or every man for himself - a large plastic glass. You need to quickly empty the container (it’s funnier through a straw).

Quizzes, table games (minutes of rest)

• untie sea knots at speed;
• solve riddles on a maritime and pirate theme;
• decipher pirate slang (phrases, phrases, curses);
• test on knowledge of the film “Pirates of the Caribbean” or just pirate life;
• funny questions and answers. Only one option is correct, the remaining two are absurd. What was the name of J. Sparrow's ship: Devil's Dozen, Black Pearl or Salty Beluzhina? Using a rhyme generator, it’s easy to come up with as many of these questions/answers as you want.

At the end of the scenario - “dig” and open the chest, divide the treasures(themed gifts, medals “The Most Notorious Pirate”). If the party is in honor of a birthday, ceremoniously bring out a pirate cake - a surprise from the cook. You can arrange an explosion at a powder warehouse (fireworks) or a rain of money (paper show).

A seaside party, or a marine-themed party, is a great opportunity to make a birthday, corporate event or any other occasion bright and unique. Feel like you're on board a real pirate ship or explore the amazing underwater world - the choice is yours.

For a seaside party to be successful, it is important to create a special atmosphere with the help of themed accessories and decor items.

Tip: use all shades of blue, white and red, as well as striped decorations.

Most decorations can be made by hand or found in the garage. Here are some good ideas to consider:

1. Figurines of fish and starfish. The inhabitants of the underwater world will help you immediately set the desired atmosphere. They can be hung on the walls or placed on tables and shelves.

2. Ropes and fishing nets. It’s great if there are fishermen in your family - you can borrow equipment to decorate your house for the holiday.

3. Triangular flags. The easiest way is to cut them yourself from colored paper. To decorate a sea party, both simple striped flags and pirate flags with a white skull on a black background are suitable.

4. Paper boats. Everyone has been able to make this origami figure since school. Place several of these boats on the table and shelves in the room.

5. Steering wheels and anchors. To “transport yourself” on board the ship, use the most recognizable parts of the sailing vessel. They can also be cut out of thick cardboard or wood.

6. Turntables-weathervanes. A little trick: if you place a fan near them, you can create the effect of a light breeze.

7. Shells, colorful pebbles and sand. Not a single seaside party would be complete without these decorative items. So take out all the souvenirs you brought from your trips to the sea - and go ahead and decorate your house!

Themed costumes

The choice of outfit largely depends on the specific direction of the holiday. For example, if a party is planned on the seabed, then its undisputed king will be Neptune - the God of the sea elements with a long beard and a trident. Ladies will be able to turn into charming mermaids with sparkling pareo tails and flowers woven into their hair.

Pirate costumes will look bright and unusual. To create a spectacular look, you can use vests, white shirts and vests, loose pants and, of course, a large amount of jewelry. By the way, did you forget about the eye patch?

Some will like the image of a brave Malibu lifeguard or the captain of a luxury yacht. The main thing is to show your imagination.

To make your nautical-themed party truly bright and fun, you need to think through an entertainment program for guests in advance. It is desirable that all games be active and correspond to the theme of the holiday.

“Rescuing Drowning People”

For this game you will need a lifebuoy (an ordinary gymnastics hoop will do). All guests are divided into teams of 5-6 people and take turns trying to throw a circle on a separately selected person.

“We are not afraid of the storm”

Another fun game to include in your sea party scenario. Divide into two teams and line up opposite each other. The leader gives the first person in the line a narrow rope or ribbon. The captain's task is to “bind” all the members of his team by threading a ribbon through some part of the wardrobe (for example, a bracelet or a button hole).

Sea quiz

A calm, but at the same time fun competition for a sea party. The idea is simple: the presenter names some term from the sailors' vocabulary, and the teams must decipher it. A great opportunity to learn a lot of new things!

Marine playlist

When organizing a seaside party, do not forget to find suitable music in advance. It’s better if it’s something fiery and atmospheric. Soundtracks to “Pirates of the Caribbean” or songs from the good old cartoon “Treasure Island” are perfect.

Pirate menu

The basis of any nautical themed party is, of course. It’s better if it’s something light, simple appetizing snacks:

• salads with mussels, shrimp and crab sticks;
• sandwiches with caviar, smoked herring, red fish;
• tropical fruits on skewers.

A large stuffed fish, such as mackerel, is perfect as the main holiday dish.

All kinds of sweets are prepared in a themed color scheme, as well as using “sea” molds. Cookies in the shape of fish and starfish, and “pebbles” candies will look great on the table. And if you are planning a seaside birthday party, you can decorate the cake with sweet shells or a small sailing ship.

I had a large bag where I put all the props that were useful to me. since I didn’t have any assistants.

And this invitation, which I also printed, soaked in coffee, burned

This is what happened

Congratulations to the birthday boy
Schooner "Black Pearl"
Looking for Billy Bones' treasure
Tavern "Admiral Benbow"

Ha! I see the whole gang assembled. Greetings young hooligans!
I'm a pirate mom and today is my son's birthday! He is turning 11 years old, and he is still not officially accepted into the pirates!!! So I decided to correct this oversight. And since good boys cannot be friends with pirates, I decided to make you into notorious sea wolves, the threat of all seas and oceans, the favorites of Tortuga and Jamaica!!! I suspect that the birthday party will be fun and relaxed like a pirate! And, piranha by the scruff of my neck, I am glad to welcome adventurers and treasure seekers to our pirate harbor! So…

How are the pirates feeling?
Who's birthday is it today?
So let's have fun and play? (Yes!)
Raise your mood even higher! (Yes?)
Well, birthday boy, it's your day.
And we will not be lazy to congratulate you!
We wish you great happiness

playing the game "Loaf".???

And today in honor of my birthday
We are starting a great sea adventure!
So that everyone is happy today
We're going on a treasure hunt!

2. initiation into pirates
To become a pirate you need to change your name
Since a woman on a ship is a bad omen, let's agree that the names will be mostly male.
The name cards were printed in Word and covered with tape, and I also attached a pin to each card.. I sewed a fabric bag in which I put all the tags or buy badges.
Captain John Silver
Captain Flint
Just Jack
Captain Black
Captain Flint
Jack Red Hand
Cheerful Media
Lanky Jim
Red Bill
Swift Hook
Baby Starkey"

To hit the road and quickly find the treasure
You now need to undergo our medical examination!
The doctor comes out
We measure height (with slippers, chocolates, spoons, etc.)
Props: I put a chocolate bar, a spoon, a cucumber, and a slipper in a separate bag.

Now we will find out everything about you
We'll test you for jumping ability,
Then volatility and buoyancy,
And of course, creeping!
Who passes the test easily?
He is immediately added to the team!

The most foul-mouthed pirate

So, can you swear like pirates? Who knows pirate curse words? Well done, but not enough! Now I will teach you how to swear!
Props: I printed out all the curse words on a piece of paper, cut them into strips and rolled them into a tube. I sewed another bag and put it there. I gave each person one curse word. Then one more.
A freshwater mollusk, a cat in your heels, a corral eater (shells, crocodiles, leeches...), a jellyfish in your liver, an anchor in your throat, a mast in your skull, a thousand devils! Thunder and lightning! Blue Crab and Three Little Pigs, to hell! Burst my spleen! Pitchfork to the liver! Tooth for meat! Piranha is in your fly, that is, by the scruff of your neck! We'll feed your shy pug to the sharks! forever rattle your anchors, scrub your deck all your life! Fore-mainsail-bramsel in my left ear, sweaty eater of fish guts, greens, latrine worm, tear into octopus tentacles, harbor rat.

Now ready to walk on the mast. Walk everyone along the rope with their eyes closed.
Yes, I see you have mastered swear words well
A real sea wolf is not afraid of storms and waves, nor is he afraid of any kind of rolling. Now we will check you, circled around us and walked along the ruler, as if on a yard...More, more evenly, how will you set the sails? (walk the rope on the floor smoothly without falling before spinning the child)
Props: rope on the floor
Well done, now you are not afraid of storms and waves, you are not afraid of any rolling
Now let's find out which of you is the most resourceful pirate"
"The Most Resourceful Pirate"
RIDDLES - DECEPTIONS.
- Fastest from fear
Rushing... (not a turtle, but a hare).

Who knows a lot about raspberries?
Clubfoot, brown... (not a wolf, but a bear)

In your warm puddle
Croaked loudly... (not a sparrow, but a frog).

Walked along a steep mountain
Overgrown with fur... (not a crocodile, but a ram).

In the thicket I raised my head,
Howls from hunger... (not a giraffe, but a wolf).

Like in a bus salon
Jumped into mom’s bag... (not an elephant, but a baby kangaroo).

The sun's ray has gone out over the forest
The king of beasts is sneaking... (not a rooster, but a lion).

Having overcome all obstacles,
The faithful one hits with his hoof (not a lion, but a horse).

Takes hay with trunk
Thick-skinned... (elephant, not hippopotamus).

The tail is like a fan, there is a crown on the head.
There is no bird more beautiful than... (not a crow, but a peacock).

Who likes to run around on branches?
Of course, red... (not a fox, but a squirrel).

A simple question for kids:
“Who is the cat afraid of?” ... (not mice, but dogs)

Walk through the muddy swamp.
The marshy swamp can only be passed in one way, with the help of magical tracks (cross the room by placing your feet on two sheets of paper with drawn tracks). First you need to overcome the swamp with the help of two sheets of paper - “bumps”, shifting them as you move

All sailors must be able to listen to the captain and follow his orders. Imagine that we are on a pirate schooner and I, as your captain, order you, and you must follow my commands:

Left hand drive! - everyone runs to the left side
Right steering wheel! - everyone runs to the starboard side
Nose! - everyone runs forward.
Stern! - everyone runs back.
Raise the sails! - everyone stops and raises their hands up.
Scrub the deck! - everyone pretends to wash the floor.
Cannonball! - everyone squats.
The admiral is on board! - everyone freezes, stands at attention and gives
honor. - I didn’t have these competitions so few children came

tying sea knots(

Well done, now let's see how you can tie knots. Yes, not simple ones, but sea ones..

PROPERTIES: Knots printed on paper and rope. I took paper tape and after the kids tied the knots, everyone stuck tape on their rope and signed their name. then he gives a push-up to the child

I see, I see the knots have been tied, now this is how you will tie your shoelaces. What if you get hungry along the way?
We'll make barbecue.

PROPERTIES: Gummy gummies and fish-shaped cookies. I took a three-liter bucket to put the little fish in the bottom and fish cookies on top. so that the kids can dig around there (you can use bread crumbs) and blunt wooden skewers and also paper tape at the end for signing.

"The Lame Pirate"

Participants are divided into pairs. In each pair, the legs are tied (the left leg of one to the right leg of the other). Pairs must walk a certain distance, reach the flag, turn around and go back.

Initiation into pirates.
I see that everything is in order with your jumping ability, buoyancy and volatility,
A team of treasure hunters – well, the highest class!
I see that you guys are what we need,
And everyone prepared to search for the treasure.
Now you are real pirates!!!, and this is a document confirming your piracy.
(issue a diploma)

I printed it out on A4, soaked it in coffee and colored just the title

Initiates into pirates

I took red and black fabric (grandmother's old supplies). The red one went for scarves and applied a design on it using a stencil, foam rubber and white gouache. The black fabric was torn into scarves around the neck. I cut out circles from black dermantine and bought hat elastic in sewing stores. 0.5 meters per bandage. I bought bags and put uniforms for one child in each bag. Our grandmother has a real chest. We took him outside for props. That's where I put all these bags.
- puts on an eye patch, or a bandana on the head, a scarf on the neck, or draws a “black eye” under the eye or a beard-mustache.
- But I won’t give you weapons, because you are still small.
I drew a map based on this principle.

Unfortunately, I don’t have my card because the kids took it

There is a rolled up tube in the chest, task No. 1

.
And 1 piece of card.

In total, the map is cut into 4 parts.

I'm an old pirate who hid my treasures, but only cunning and brave pirates can find them!! The map for finding treasures was divided into 4 parts and hidden in different parts of this island. In order to find it, you need to work a little more and cope with my tasks. But the reward will please you.
Let's go my pirates!!!
Task one: look for the entrance to the tavern!!!

(on the front door of the house there will be a crossword puzzle on a marine theme. The main word will be watering can; there will be a piece of map there for the second task.

B- The rudder of the ship V al)

L - When there is no wind at all (calm)

E- Large body of salt water smaller than the ocean (sea e) –
Y Sea pirates (raz th nicknames)
K - A physical device for recognizing cardinal directions, consisting of
magnetized arrow always pointing north ( To compass)
E- That which inflates the sails (vet e R)

Word in the watering can
take out a package with task 2 from the watering can

and the second part of the map
Well done, they completed my first task, and so quickly. I thought you'd be guessing for a long time!!!
Here is the second part of the map.
But a real pirate must have a cocked hat!!! Every pirate should be able to make them.
After all, you won’t be allowed into the tavern without a cocked hat.

I say guys, let's ask our captain to make us three-cornered hats. My son found a story in a book about origami about how a sailor made 5 hats from a piece of newspaper, gradually then it turned into a boat and at the very end into a vest

. we decided to use it. and I had time to prepare the table.
Tolik's performance of folding hats. Then I go out and hand out PRE-MADE TRICANGES
. Are they all wearing hats? And now I propose to drink rum to the health of our captain Anatolio!! And it wouldn’t hurt to have some food before a long journey. YES? But pirates eat at the tavern. and since you are all wearing hats, now they will definitely let us in there. where is the entrance there??? Ahh you already know. Well then, go ahead and welcome to the Admiral Banbow Inn.
there was a poster in the caption Tavern "Admiral Benbow"

Food:
pizza roll-up - it was planned to wrap a piece of pizza in a tube and tie it with suluguni cheese. but since the dough was a bit thick, I just transported it like a parcel.
sandwiches of tomatoes with cucumber and sausage with cheese in the form of boats

The children sit down to eat, and on the back of the plate it is written in marker where to look for the third task. It was written on my desk. since the table is folding.

Well, my dear pirates, after a glorious feast, I suggest you have a little fun!
I also prepared a gift for our glorious captain!!! This is a terrible sea monster, the Kraken. He needs to be caught and beaten with a stick. Where are the monsters? in the sea. Forward my brave sailors!
Just be careful, remember the tasks!!!

Piñata ball game.

According to legend, this is a terrible sea monster, the Kraken. And the monster doesn’t have to be beautiful at all, so you can paint from the heart! (the 4th task and the 4th part of the map drop out along with the candies)

Task 4. Well, the monster is defeated!!! And here is the last part of the map. Now put all the pieces together and go searching for the treasure!!! Good luck!!!

treasure hunt
Congratulations on finding the treasure!!! Billy Bones.
a box buried with coins and a bundle
8. bundle game

"Pass the parcel game for a pirate party

from the Internet:
In addition to chocolate, such a magical package was hidden in a treasure chest. This is a template for the popular British children's game Pass the Parcel, which is often played at children's birthday parties. I found out about this game by chance, while looking through the will of fate that fell into my hands with a catalog of all sorts of unreasonably expensive, but insanely desirable cozy Britishness Pedlars. It wasn’t difficult to find the rules of the game on Wikipedia, and I was inspired to make a magical bundle with my own hands.

The rules are very simple. The main prize is hidden in the middle of the large package. It is wrapped in a huge number of layers of paper. In our well-fed and bourgeois times, it is also customary to put all sorts of things - small prizes - between these layers. And for older children you can also use riddles. The kids sit in a circle and pass the bundle to each other to the music. The music suddenly stops, and if the package is in your little hands at this moment, you can safely remove the next layer of paper and grab the loot that fell from under it! And the thinner parcel continues to travel through the hands until the music stops again. That's all the rules! And the winner is the one who is lucky enough to remove the last wrapper from the main prize, hidden in the very middle of the parcel.

How it's done
So, in order to make a package at home, you will need wrapping paper of different colors, one large prize, many small ones, scissors and tape (it is convenient to use both double-sided and regular tape. The main thing is that it is put on the “snail”. Otherwise In case, you can wrap it at a snail's pace)) In addition to new paper in rolls, I also had used clothes accumulated over some time from gifts received. Sometimes it happens that you can remove the paper without even tearing it. For such a material-intensive task as Pass the parcel, such BUSH pieces of paper are what you need. Work comfortably on a large table. The main prize in my package was a small Lego Duplo set.
When selecting small prizes, I tried to reflect the theme of the party. Pirate erasers:
I saw many different options for parcels on the Internet. Including one absolutely fabulous, girly, scrapbook-like, entirely made by the designer’s hands, including prizes! But there wouldn’t be enough time for that, that’s for sure. Therefore, my own “scraped” button icons were included in my parcel. The goal was twofold - so that the prize would not look so insignificant compared to others and so that the kids would not inject themselves at least while they were playing.
And then the fun began! Step by step! Layer by layer...
I tried to choose the next paper in a contrasting color. First of all, it's so beautiful! Secondly, it’s more difficult to get confused and accidentally tear off two layers of paper instead of one

At first my “snowball” grew very slowly, and then suddenly I had to remember what “geometric progression” is! So in the end I started to get greedy and, trying to brighten up my greed with a joke, several times I used sheets of the Vedomosti newspaper instead of wrapping paper. The children did not understand the joke. I joked for their mothers, my fellow auditors.
The last, top layer of the wrapper had to be a) the most beautiful; b) similar to the real parcel; c) stylized within the pirate theme. I found some wonderful plain paper from IKEA that I could do anything with. My choice fell on the "sea" stamps of the St. Petersburg scrap club, jute cord, a real shell and the same wax seal that I used for old pirate maps."
