Riddles about the sea introduce kids to the natural bodies of water on Earth, types of seas and their inhabitants.

There are many seas on the planet - the Black Sea, the Sargasso Sea, the Caribbean Sea and many others. In the modern world, seashores are most often considered as resort areas. And in ancient times, the seas were viewed more as strategic objects, huge fleets were created to protect the seas from attack.

Pirates often operated in the seas and robbed peaceful ships. There were especially many of them in the Caribbean and Mediterranean seas. And in the depths of the seas, in addition to the amazing underwater sea, hidden are countless treasures of sunken ships.

Riddles about the seas develop children's memory, imagination, and create an interest in adventure.

In calm weather
We are nowhere
How the wind blows -
We run on water.
(Waves)

Here - wherever we look -
Water blue expanse.
In it the wave rises like a wall,
White crest above the wave.
And sometimes it’s quiet and quiet here.
Was everyone able to recognize him?
(Sea)

Storm on the sea or fog,
But where is the edge of the earth
Every captain knows.
What is burning in the distance for them?
(Lighthouse)

There is water all around, but drinking is a problem.
(Sea)

I won't lie
- I'm smaller than the ocean,
But I'm big, nevertheless,
It looks like the ocean.
I can be calm
I can make it stormy.
I always have
Salty water.
(Sea)

You can't scoop it out with a spoon,
And don't fall asleep with sand,
You can't make paths on it,
To walk.
It is endless, blue,
And the winds guard him,
And the ships are beautiful,
They walk along the surface of the water.
(Sea)

This is the largest animal
Like a multi-ton liner.
And he eats - believe me! -
Only small things - plankton.
Floats here and there
Across the Arctic seas.
(Whale)

I'm sailing on a ship
Sometimes I lie at the bottom
I keep the ship on a chain,
I look after the ship at sea,
So that the wind doesn't blow away,
I just rocked on the waves.
(Anchor)

It walks and walks across the sea,
And when it reaches the shore, it disappears.
(Wave on the sea)

Without end and edge Puddle
She is not afraid of the evil cold.
Ships sail in Luzha,
They are far from the ground.
(Sea)

To the right is water and to the left is water
Ships are sailing here and there
But if you want to get drunk, my friend,
Every sip will be salty.
(Sea)

You already, my friend, of course
Heard something about me:
I'm always five-pointed
And I live at the very bottom.
(Starfish)

Breaking thick ice
He goes forward alone
And only then after him
The ships are moving in single file.
(Icebreaker)

White wool is floating somewhere.
(Foam on the sea)

Rumors spread about him:
Eight legs and a head.
To make it more scary for everyone,
He releases ink.
(Octopus)

He is the king of the sea,
Ocean sovereign,
He is the keeper of treasures at the bottom
And the ruler of the mermaids.
(Neptune)

I explain to the baby
To avoid errors:
I am a beast, I breathe air,
But it looks like large fish.
I'm a dodger in water polo
And I play ball with the children.

And dives to the depths?
Who's wearing lead boots?
Does he walk along the bottom there?

Across the sea-ocean
A miracle giant is swimming.
There is a tap on its back:
A fountain runs out of it.
(Whale)

I am nowhere without the sea,
All my food is in the sea.
I live on the shore myself,
I guard the polar circle.

I need a thread for fishing.
I wanted to ask the seller,
Like, is it on sale here?
I forgot the name of the thread.

I remembered! This - …

Eight legs, a pair of arms.
In the hands of claws,
There is fear in the eyes.

If the sea is so stormy!

What about the sea? In the sea …

Instead of legs - flippers,
The tail drags on the ice,
The beast is not afraid of frost.
(Walrus)

I explain to the baby
To avoid errors:
I am a beast, I breathe air,
But it looks like large fish.
I'm a dodger in water polo
And I play ball with the children.
(Dolphin)

Sitting aground, wiggling his mustache,
And he will walk backwards.
(Cancer)

We are shy sometimes
We can be brave too.
Water surrounds us
In it we breathe through gills.
With scales and fins
We float here and there
And we walk in joints
We are along rivers and seas.
(Fish)

A wave is rising
And the coast will close soon.
This is our satellite the Moon
The sea is so attractive.
(Tide)

When you decide to organize a child’s birthday or another, you need to think through everything down to the smallest detail. Of course, preparing costumes, invitations, menus and room decorations, and attributes for a pirate party is an important part of a successful holiday, as it sets the real pirate spirit. But a properly composed script will help ensure that the pirate sabbath is unforgettable and interesting.

Important tips for writing a children's pirate party script

The simplest solution would be to order a children's party service from a professional entertainment organization. Various options programs, proven scenarios, the presence of specific props and a number of other advantages become decisive arguments in favor of such a choice.

But. Who knows better than the parents the character of the child and his friends, his preferences and desires?

And even though organizing a children’s party is a troublesome task, you won’t find better directors and producers than a loving mom and dad.

The main thing is to take into account some features and the success of the venture is guaranteed. When choosing a script and competitions, consider the age of the kids. Entertainment that is interesting to preschoolers will make children over 10 years old smile. But complex quests, so beloved by older children, will be incomprehensible to kids.

Include too active competitions, games, as well as competitions related to the use of water paraphernalia in the scenario of a children's pirate party held on the street. Broken windows, dishes, stained carpets are not a very good result of the holiday.

Consider the character of children. Involve quiet people in competitions too. Don’t create a “one-player” holiday, no matter how much you might want to highlight your favorite among the sea gang.

Be fair in refereeing, do not play along with teams - children are sensitive to lies. Alternate active games with calm competitions, between which be sure to invite the children to the table for refreshments.

At the end of the holiday, you need to reward each participant, regardless of his activity. Children should have only positive memories after the celebration.

Holiday for children 2-3 years old

When choosing a script and competitions for a pirate party for children, take into account the young age of the kids.

The pirate holiday for children two to three years old involves the holding of calmer competitions that do not require solving logical problems.

They should not be associated with the implementation of rapid or precise actions.

Therefore, you will have to carefully consider the scenario and children's competitions for a pirate party outdoors or indoors for the youngest pirates.

Pirate race

Kids will have to make their own pirate ship and come up with a name for it. For this purpose, each participant in the regatta receives building materials in the form walnuts, plasticine, toothpicks, sail leaves.

Children 4–6 years old can easily cope with this task at a pirate party.

For children 2-3 years old - participants in a pirate party, you can prepare boats made of thick paper in advance.

When the schooners are ready, the speed competition begins. A basin filled with water will become the sea. Each pair of participants launches their boat into the water.

The goal is to quickly reach the opposite shore. To do this, kids blow into the sails without using their hands. The owner of the fastest yacht advances to the next round. The winners of the qualifying stages will participate in the final race.

Which child doesn’t like to make faces? It is impossible to win this competition without using your grimacing skills.

After all, you will have to get rid of the matchbox that is put on your nose without using your hands. It is difficult to complete such a task, but unforgettable photographs will remain as a memory.

Pirate puzzle

The principle of this distinction is based on the rules of the Puzzle game. Children will collect pirate pictures.

To do this, you can print out bright pictures depicting ships, chests filled with treasures, and sea shells.

Choose pictures that are clear and free of details that are too small or blurry.

We cut the finished drawing into asymmetrical parts. For children under 5 years old, cutting the sheet into 8-12 pieces will be enough.

For older children, you can make the task more difficult by cutting the image into smaller pieces. Each child receives their own set, and the winner will be the participant who completes the puzzle first.

Pirate party scenario for children 4, 5, 6 years old

Children preschool age They are still fidgety and why.

It's going to be quite an exciting event if you try to attract the attention of the kids and don't leave them any free time for pranks.

Suitable for the script children's day Birthdays in the style of a pirate party include active competitions, relay races and simple logic tasks.

Hit the target

No, we will not shoot with bows or pistols.

We will need balls of different colors. Opponents receive 5 “shells”. The target to hit is a regular bucket or box.

Children try to throw their balls exactly at the target.

Of course, the player with the best result becomes the winner and participants in the next round. The most accurate sea wolves will fight in the finals.

They will act as sea monsters Balloons. Appliqués, rope or paper tentacles will help make them more realistic.

Such a monster can only be defeated with darts.

The player is given three attempts to destroy one of the warriors of the army of sea reptiles. But the competition doesn't end there.

After all, inside the monster ball there is a message note. And only by completing the task written on it can you defeat the enemy.

Find the treasure

The competition involves searching for special treasures - chocolate coins.

They are hidden in secluded and most unexpected places.

Just limit your search. Otherwise, inquisitive treasure hunters will look both in the pan and under the toilet lid.

We turn on an incendiary melody and encourage the participants with distracting chants. The winning team will bring the most jewels in the allotted time.

If such a competition is held for children two to three years old, it is better to place balls, pebbles, and coins in a sandbox or in a basin with sand.

Let the little adventurers try to dig up the secret treasure.

An island for every pirate

We will need gymnastic hoops. There will be one less of them than the pirates participating in the competition.

While the music plays, sea wolves ply the ocean, running around the hoop islands. As soon as the music stops, the storm begins. So it's time for the pirates to dock.

Children jump into island hoops and start spinning them.

And the pirate who did not get shelter dies in the depths of the sea - he is eliminated from the competition. In the following stages, we remove one island at a time until one winning pirate remains.

These are no longer just pirates - these are experienced sailors who are familiar with grammar and know how to solve problems as a team.

Therefore, feel free to include quizzes, relay races and team competitions in the pirate holiday scenario for children 7–9 years old.

For children in this age category, you can already come up with a storyline. And since the main goal of the pirates is to find the treasure, then the entire program should be connected with its search.

We are preparing a map for a pirate party for children, which will indicate the pirates’ path to the treasure. You can draw it or print it ready-made.

Aging the card by dipping the paper in strong tea leaves or coffee. Burn and tear the edges of the secret message. Of course, such a guide will not be given to teams in its original form.

An evil pirate - one of the parents tears the message into pieces at the beginning of the party, and the kids' goal is to get all the lost pieces. And for this you need to go through difficult tests. And only the winners of the competition will be able to receive the coveted piece of the map.

Secret password

What's a secret without a password? The team, going on a dangerous journey, must clearly know the code phrase. But it's not that easy to do.

It is known only to one member of the team, and it cannot be said out loud or written on paper. Therefore, now the lucky one who knows the password - a code phrase (the child recognizes it from a folded leaf that he takes out of a vase) will have to resort to acting. With gestures and movements, the baby gives the team hints, based on which they must guess the password.

Dangerous reefs

Only experienced and brave sea wolves can overcome the terrible reefs. The teams face a difficult test.

They must take part in a relay race, which is essentially an obstacle course. Of course, to organize such a large-scale competition, space is needed.

Therefore, it is better to hold this competition not indoors, but during a pirate party for children on the street.

But, if desired, such a relay race can be divided into several independent competitions.

We create an obstacle course. First, the participant must get out of the bay - run around 8-10 pins arranged in a zigzag pattern. Dive into the depths of the sea - crawl under three or four chairs placed in a row or low-stretched ropes.

To pass the area with piranhas - walk along the board installed above the children's pool, infested with children's fish - “evil piranhas”.

Cross a narrow strait - run, get between tapes, ropes attached to stands or chairs. It is advisable to make the strait winding.

Get your opponents out of the way by knocking down the pins with tennis balls. The participant does not continue the relay race without completing this task. It may take 5 or 8 attempts. Therefore, stock up on balls in large quantities.

Get to the island over the bumps. For bumps, use A-5 sheets (half a landscape sheet). Decorate pieces of sushi with original designs in the form of turtles, shells, starfish, and seashells.

Place the leaves at a large distance, but not in a straight line. A child can step on a bump with only one foot. If a participant stumbles, he starts this stage of the relay over again.

At the end of the journey, an island awaits the brave sea wolf - the child must stand in the hoop, lift it up and, after removing it over his own head, put the hula hoop back in place.

Bring good news to the team. At the end of the obstacle course, place a flowerpot in which you place coins or black marks. It is this attribute that the participant must bring to his team when returning to the beginning of the sea route.

After this, the next team member sets sail. The winner of the relay race is the team that first overcomes all the hardships of the sea voyage.

Quiz

Pirates who have sailed the seas for many days are well acquainted with both maritime terminology and the rules of pirate life. It's time to show off your knowledge. Children answer questions from the presenter, earning gold doubloons for their team for each correct answer.

• The rudder of a ship is the steering wheel.
• The favorite drink of pirates is rum.
• Ship's kitchen - galley.
• Jack Sparrow's ship is the Black Pearl.
• The punishment for pirates who stole from their friends was to cut off their nose and ears.
• Have a good voyage - seven feet under the keel.

Captains competition

Each captain receives a secret name that his opponent should not know. The nickname must be associated with any sea inhabitants: turtle, starfish, shark, stingray.

A picture of the prototype is attached to the back of the pirate leader.

The opponent's goal is to find out the opponent's name. But this is not so easy to do. After all, according to the terms of the competition, the captain is one-legged (children bend one leg at the knee and hold it with their hand).

Moving by jumping on one leg, the captains try to look behind the opponent’s back in order to be the first to see the clue.

Pirate party ideas for children over 10 years old

These experienced sailors spent more than one year away from their native shores. They can handle difficult tasks and are not afraid of dangerous trials.

Therefore, feel free to come up with intricate plots intertwined with logical riddles and puzzles for the scenario of a pirate-themed party for children over 10 years old.

The scenario should be like a quest, where one task for a pirate party for children logically leads into the next.

The purpose of the trip, of course, is to search for treasure. But on the way to the treasured treasures, no one canceled the songs, dances and entertainment. As a pirate, this will require finance.

Therefore, at the beginning of the party, we enter the holiday currency, which will be needed for the game for children “Pirates at the Holiday”. With the earned or won piastres - medals or coins - participants will be able to buy drinks in an impromptu bar and buy the missing pieces of the map.

A codeword

Children must solve a difficult puzzle. They receive props in the form of ice cubes, in which the clue pictures are frozen. The first letter of each image is part code word. For example, the helm is “bumblebee”, “tiger”, “snail”, “river”, “wolf”, “apricot”, “moon”. Or depicts a cipher code.

You can freeze the image of letters to compose an entire phrase. The teams must complete the task until the ice melts.

Climb into the bottle

The guys must unravel the secret word. To do this, they receive 5 bottles each containing scrolls with hint texts.

The first team to solve the mysterious message becomes the winner.

To avoid questions about the correctness of the answer, we write the word on the board and cover it with a curtain.

You can add any competitions and games to the pirate party scenario for children and adults, adapting them to the pirate theme. In addition to the script, ideas from will help you prepare a pirate holiday for children.

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

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

Then volatility and buoyancy,
And of course, creeping!
Who passes the test easily?
He immediately joins 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 handed out one curse word to everyone. 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!

A real sea wolf is not afraid of storms and waves, nor is he afraid of any kind of rolling.

(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).

He takes the hay with his 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 maritime 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, each person stuck tape on his rope and signed his 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-dilometer bucket to put 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 treasure hunting map 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 marine theme. The main word will be watering can; there will be a piece of the map 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:
This magical package, in addition to chocolate, 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's wrapped in great amount 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 different colors, one big prize, many small ones, scissors and tape (it’s convenient to use both double-sided and regular tape. The main thing is that it is put on the “snail”. Otherwise, you will be able to wrap it at a snail’s pace)) In addition new paper in rolls I still 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. That’s why my parcel included my own “scraped” button icons. 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."

This year we celebrated my son’s 8th birthday at the dacha in a wonderfully fun and funny way. I borrowed many ideas from friends and online, processed them, and this is what came out.

Decor children's pirate party

You will need:

Papers with images of bottles, flags, daggers, bags of money, etc.
- schooner “Sea Pearl” (we temporarily turned the gazebo into a ship, cut out the steering wheel from cardboard and attached it to the pipe, made the bow from a cardboard box, hung the gazebo with ropes)
- Jolly Roger
- Jolly Roger balloons
- checkboxes
- chest (I attach a diagram at the bottom of the article)
- steering wheel
- draperies-sails
- anchor (make from cardboard)

On the map they drew an approximate diagram of the house and yard: Treasure Island itself (yard), round cove (pool), swinging cradle (swing), valley of wisdom (desk), coral cove (bathroom), banana grove (kitchen), entrance to cave (cellar), jungle (garden), sleepy hollow (sofa), mammoth glacier (refrigerator), volcano (stove), waterfall (outdoor shower), bridge (path from the gate to the house), plateau (balcony), onion grove ( vegetable garden with onions and lettuce), etc. Ideally, the map should be drawn on paper soaked in tea and dried with torn edges.

Part 1 of the pirate party. Silver's test

The guests are greeted by the host (it was me in a pirate costume), who offers to join the pirates and go for treasure. To do this you need to pass tests.

So, are you ready to become a pirate?

To become real pirates, you need to show that you are brave, dexterous, fighting, cunning and quick-witted and pass tests.

- A pirate must be fearless.
Jump up to the ceiling - the guest is blindfolded, and someone stands behind him with a board. Then we ask the guest to jump, he jumps, but does not reach the ceiling. We ask you to jump again, while raising the board above the guest’s head to such a height that the guest can reach it.

Part 2 of the pirate party. Initiation into pirates

They eat sandwiches and drink rum (replacing the bottle with a bottle with a note).

Old Flint's Letter

Silver reads old Flint's letter
“Greetings young pirates! In honor of the captain's birthday, I decided to reveal my secret and give the birthday boy and his friends a map of Treasure Island, where I hid a priceless treasure. Moor your ship in the round bay of Treasure Island and proceed 30 steps south. The secret is kept by SKELETON. "Captain Flint, the storm of the seas."
The captain says loudly: “Raise the sails! Full speed ahead!

Round Bay Treasure Island

Using a map and compass, we find the skeleton (Legov’s skeleton, you can draw it). Underneath is a cache with clues:
“The crossword clue will tell you what you need to look for”, solve the crossword puzzle:
· The sun setting behind the horizon (sunset) - (W)
· Kitchen on the ship (galley) - (A)
· Parking place (port) - (P)
· The most famous pirate whose treasure we are looking for (Flint) - (I)
· The front of the ship (bow) - (C)
· Ship's cook (cook) - (K)
· Accommodation for the captain or passengers (cabin) - (A)
We are looking for a note in the bay of Treasure Island “You are in the wrong bay! Look for another one near the Codunya field!”

Witch's Field

We tell a legend about an insidious witch who does not sleep at night and is just waiting to bewitch someone. Accordingly, you can cross the valley only during the day; when “night” is declared, we freeze and do not move.

Coral Bay

We sail to Coral Bay (we have only 2 bays on the map, those connected with water). In the bathroom, the children see a mark painted on the wall (an abandoned black mark factory).

Pirate Tag Factory

You need to find 6 pirate tags in the barn. There is one letter on each label. Having collected all the marks, you need to put the letters together into a word - and then it will become clear where to go next. The word p-e-sh-e-r-a is formed.

After the children find all the marks and run to the cave (they guess that the cave is a basement), a ghost appears and does not allow them to go to the cave. It says it will let children through for 10 red berries. The children run and pick cherries and bring them to the ghost. it lets them through to the cave.

Cave entrance

The note is hidden in a black box with a mark. The box is in a visible place. The children take out the note and realize that it has been cut into pieces. First you need to assemble it like a puzzle and read the contents.
Note 3 says: “It is impossible to enter the cave, as it is guarded the bats. First, find 10 bats, put them in a bag, and then look into the cave.”
Children look for 10 bats in the hallway and put them in a bag lying right there. When all the hidden bats have been found, the presenter will offer to look into the cave (the cave can be a large closet), where in the most visible place there is a sheet of paper with a picture of a palm tree. Children look at the map and understand: the palm tree symbolizes the jungle.

Jungle

In the garden, on the upper branches hangs a scroll note 4: “From the old volcano to the north there are 15 steps. Dig! .
Bury the word note 5 “Dream” in the box. It is concluded that the next point on the route is the swinging sleepy hollow.

Rocking cradle (swing)

There is a bag of empty ones on the sofa plastic bottles, instead of labels there are pirate marks) and a scarf.
Note 6: “Everyone falls asleep in Sleepy Hollow: both people and animals. Here you can fall asleep forever and never wake up again. Many tried to leave the ravine in a sleeping state, but they failed. Will you be able to pass through the ravine in a sleeping state and come out of it safe and sound?”
The leader places the pins as the border of a winding path. Children take turns trying to walk along this path blindfolded without knocking over a single pin. When at least someone manages to pass without hitting the pin, you can start looking for the mark. A bulb is drawn on the swing leg.

Onion Grove

On one of the bulbs there is a note 7 “25 steps to the north” - along the way we see a skeleton, we look where it is pointing. You need to hide a paper snowflake with a pirate mark. After finding a snowflake, children will conclude that the next destination is a glacier.

Glacier mammoth

A glacier is a refrigerator.

Meeting with the Ghost

Here the Ghost appears. I ask the Ghost if the pirates can take the treasure. He says that Flint's curse hangs over the treasures, and only the bravest can get them.
To determine courage you need to: break 5 eggs on your forehead, one of which is raw (5 people).
To define gaiety, you need to come up with a dance of little foals and ducklings.
To determine resourcefulness, you need to put the letters together into a word (the letters hang on the refrigerator). Children form the word “Treasures”.
The ghost says that all Flint's conditions have been met, and you can go to the glacier. And here are the treasures! The treasure is in the chest (candies and chocolate coins).

And as promised, the diagram of the pirate chest...

I wish everyone a happy birthday!!!

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 place 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 look atmospheric, glass jars with shells and sand;

• 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 ones air 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. Time, place, dress code and other official information write 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 you're in the 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 clothing differs only in design from a men’s pirate costume - it is 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 party in the style of pirates almost play big role than suits. They are the ones who make the chosen image unambiguous and recognizable:

• pistols, saber or sword, knife. Shoulder belt, scabbard;
• compass, Spyglass, 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 made from 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 drink” - 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. Possible in teams - two large ships and all together blow into the “sails” of their 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 dregs 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).
