Pirates & treasure hunts have fascinated children for all ages. And a pirate birthday party especially when you include a treasure hunt can be one of the most successful parties you will ever have, especially if you spend some time looking for some really great pirate birthday party ideas.
There are some special items you will need to plan your party, and a few organization skills will really help a lot when it comes to the big day. Of course any time that you're working with kids you need to remember to plan for the unexpected. If follow these rules, you'll find that a pirates life really can be for you.
Things should start with the right invitations. A great party invitation starts with a pirate's map. You can let "x" mark the spot for your pirates party. Give the date and also the time and let everyone know they should dress in their favorite pirate outfit. Knowing the special theme well ahead of time gives everyone a chance to pick out their best pirate garb. A fun, neat rhyme can finish off the invitation, something like "ho hum, a bottle of rum, Mary turns nine and we'll have a fine time".
Decorations can be easy for a pirate's birthday party. You'll want to make your area look as much like a pirate ship as possible. A pirate birthday party is best held outdoors whenever possible. This way you can find some great places to bury treasure for your treasure hunt. Of course, if you can't do it outdoors, you'll just have to be a little more creative indoors.
There are almost unlimited games for pirate themed parties. The best activity, of course, is the treasure hunt. Start out by handing out clues explaining that there is a treasure map that you have divided into 4 pieces. The first clue will point to the first piece, and that will have a special clue to the next piece and so on. While all the kids are doing the treasure hunt, you'll have time to put together the refreshments.
Once the kids have all the pieces to their map, they can go on the actual treasure hunt and find the buried treasure. You can do an individual treasure hunt or you can divide the kids into teams. Don't forget "pin the peg-leg on the pirate" and "walk the plank" for the younger kids, assuming, of course, that you have a pool and the kids can swim.
These are just a few pirate birthday party ideas. Just take a little time to think about it and you'll think of loads more. Just make sure your little "pirate" has a day to remember. - 20785
