2014-04-29 Pirate party for children
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 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 - a recipe for a 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 the bananas - little robbers will definitely be happy with this surprise!

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 promptings 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, prepare 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.

Pirate party menu: hot dish
"Baked mackerel"
Fish was always on the menu of pirates, so you couldn’t do without it at the festival of sea robbers. Fragrant mackerel with a golden crispy crust will not leave anyone indifferent, and preparing it is as easy as shelling pears!
You also need foil or a baking sleeve to make the fish tastier and keep the oven clean.
First you need to prepare the sauce - mix mayonnaise and mustard. Then you should gut the mackerel and remove the gills from the head. Wash the carcasses well, rub with salt and baking sauce outside and inside. Wrap each fish in foil and place on a baking sheet, seam side up. If using a roasting bag, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
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:
There is also an original idea: “Black Mark”! And that's it. For real pirates, such a mark foreshadowed not very good events. And for children it will be the harbinger of an unusual, exciting party full of dangerous adventures and romance!
You can do it yourself or, if possible, print it on a printer. The main thing is not to forget to write the text of the invitation.
It may sound like this.
Yo-ho-ho! On May 3 at 11:00 we are waiting for you at the meeting of sea wolves on the occasion of the 7th anniversary of Artyom the Merciless! We are waiting for: schools of sharks, walking on the edge of a knife, and other dangerous adventures! Come if you are not afraid!
Pirate Party Snacks
"Sailboat"
This is a simple dish that is easy to prepare at any time of the year. Each housewife can make the treat unique, using the filling to her taste - a delicate salad for children, and spicy and piquant for adults.
Cut each cucumber in half (lengthwise) to make two “boats”. Then carefully remove the pulp from each (you can use a teaspoon). Fill the prepared “boats” with salad and decorate with a flag made from a thin slice of cucumber and a piece of sweet pepper on a skewer.
"Eye of the Shark"
An ideal dish for a summer or fall holiday, and anyone can make this snack!
Cut the eggplants into rings, soak for an hour in salted water to remove the bitterness, then fry in oil. While the preparation is cooling, cut the tomatoes and cucumbers into rings, leave the olives whole. Then place the vegetables on the eggplant slices: tomato, cucumber and olive.
Table decoration in the style of Pirates
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.
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 on point.
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.
Ships
Stick a skewer with a sail into the treat. The body of the galleon can be: hot dogs, pie cut into long diamond shapes, eclairs, tubes of cream; stuffed pancakes.
Striped jelly
Buy bags of two colors - lemon and berry (red) or plum (blue) jelly. Cool in layers in transparent glasses/vases.
Montpensier
Pour nuts in multi-colored glaze into transparent jars. The neck can be wrapped with twine or colorful ribbon, attached as a pendant for a toy skeleton, an anchor, etc.
Place sweets in bright wrappers, 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).
Cookie
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.
Fruits
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.
Beverages
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.
What dessert to prepare for sea robbers
If you are planning a party for children, you will be interested in the idea of a candy bar in a pirate style. All the secrets of organizing a fashionable sweet table are described here; all that remains is to decorate it with the appropriate attributes.
"Fruit on Skewers"
Pirates often ended up on exotic islands, so tropical fruits would not surprise them. We hope your guests enjoy this dessert recipe!
To prepare, you will need your favorite fruits: pears, apples, grapes, banana, kiwi, strawberries, etc. They need to be washed well, dried and cut into small pieces, for example, apples and pears - into cubes, banana - into slices. Strawberries and grapes can be left whole. Take wooden or plastic skewers and stick all the assorted fruits on them, place them beautifully on a large plate.
Room decoration
To decorate a room, you will need a huge amount of props, so be prepared to go searching for them. Place more bottles of rum and tequila in the room; if there are none, then use stickers with the name of rum, just stick them on ordinary bottles. Find a couple of barrels with taps; often they sell wine in such barrels; treat your guests to drinks only from the barrels; this will help you immerse yourself in the ancient world of pirate life.
Using black oilcloth, attach it above the ceiling, it will serve as sails, and cut triangles out of black paper and, using white acrylic paint or gouache, draw skulls and crossbones on them and hang them above the ceiling. Black balloons will fit perfectly into the theme of our party.
Also, such attributes as thick ropes, fishing nets, a steering wheel, which will pass for an attractive decoration and create the impression of a party on a ship, all kinds of chests and boxes with riddles, worn, old maps, globes, compasses, binoculars will give a more pirate mood.
Drink Recipes for a Pirate Party
"Blood of the Shark"
The colorful name of the drink hides ordinary tomato or cherry juice. It is converted into shark blood by ice cubes, which gradually melt.
Any cold drink will turn into a pirate drink if you add ice frozen in turtle molds.
It’s not for nothing that the song says “Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum,” because not a single meal of the sea robbers was complete without strong drinks. Therefore, for an adult company, serve beer, rum, wine - depending on the tastes of the guests.
We hope that the dishes from our menu will appeal to young pirates and old sea wolves! Bon Appetit!

Suits
If it is not mandatory for guests to have a costume, you can style the participants of the celebration using scarves and bandanas, hats, toy guns and swords. For the holiday, you can prepare prosthetic hooks and eye patches cut out of cardboard (easily made from cardboard and a thin elastic band).
In cases where you can only enter a party in costumes, do not panic and run to rent an outfit for yourself or your child. A pirate costume can be made from items found in any wardrobe. Pirates are cheerful people and not particularly neat, so slight negligence is allowed in the costume.
A child can be dressed up in a striped T-shirt, belted with a wide belt (or a thin scarf) and tied a bandana on his head - that’s it, the tomboy is ready to have fun, the main thing is that the costume is comfortable and does not interfere with active pirate competitions. Boys can draw a beard on their face, girls can weave beads into their hair.
For adults, a vest or any other striped item – a T-shirt, a shirt – will help them transform for a pirate party. For the outfit you can use high boots, hats, and an abundance of accessories. You can use transfer tattoos and paint your face to imitate Jack Sparrow.
