Pirate party scenario
My niece celebrated her birthday (9 years old) with friends. Gathered mainly her peers in the composition of 8 people. You cannot leave such a contingent to chance, and we decided to organize a real fun pirate party. Most importantly, this party is suitable for celebrating the birthday of both a boy and a girl, moreover, of any age, starting from about 3.5 - 4 years old.
Of course, such an event requires special and thorough preparation and a well-thought-out interesting scenario.Here's roughly what happened.
Pirate Party Scenario .
The host (most likely one of the adults, more likely a mother, but it is better that they be mom and dad) greet the guests, checking their invitations and inviting them to a room decorated with decorations.
When all the guests are assembled, the host announces the start of the party.
Leading: Well, finally, the whole team is together and we can start our pirate party! We will now go on a treasure voyage with you. But, before we set sail, we need to assign responsibilities, come up with names and the name of the ship and, of course, collect a treasure map.
Leading: I suggest you, for starters, come up with the name of our pirate ship, because as you call the ship, so it will sail; and draw the emblem of the team.
Children discuss the name of the ship and offer their own version. With the help of felt-tip pens, draw the emblem of the team.
Leading: Now, let's divide the responsibilities. Captain, I propose to appoint our birthday boy, but the rest of the posts are in this chest.
The host shows a chest in which there are badges with the names of the positions: first mate, cook, boatswain, cabin boy, corsair. Children take out badges for themselves and recognize their positions on the ship.
Leading: Now come up with names for yourself, because any self-respecting pirate should have a sonorous name.
Children come up with funny names for themselves, for example, Jolly Mary, or Bald Joe, etc.
Leading: Before a pirate feast, I propose to warm up well and have a fun pirate entertainment "Sword fencing". Look, I have pirate swords in store (the presenter takes out swords made from constructor balloons), choose your opponent and start the tournament.
Children are divided into pairs, and a duel is held. A board is placed on the floor, each participant is given a "sword". Rules of the game: opponents "fence" on the balls until the first touch or until one of the opponents jumps off the board. All participants of the competition are given prizes.
Leading: Well, we warmed up! And now I invite you to the festive table! Please eat real pirate food, drink real pirate drinks!
Children sit down at the festive table. After some time, the host continues the party.
Leading: I hope you have not forgotten that we are going on a sea voyage for treasures, but the trouble is, Captain Flint, who hid his treasures, tore the treasure map into pieces, put these pieces into rum bottles and threw them into the depths of the sea. In order for us to find treasures, we need to assemble the map in parts and on it we will surely find the place where the treasures are hidden. To collect all the parts of the map you must pass some tests.
The first test is quite easy, you need to show off your ingenuity and answer the quiz questions:
1. What is the name of the back of the ship? (stern)
2. What is the name of the kitchen on the ship in the marine dictionary? (galley)
3. Name of the front of the ship (bow)
4. What is the name of the captain's or passengers' quarters in maritime language? (cabin)
5. What is the name of the wall inside the ship? (bulkhead)
6. What would a real pirate call the side of a ship? (board)
7. What is the name of the sailors' quarters? (cockpit)
8. What is the name of the board for descending from the ship, the ladder on the ship? (ladder)
9. The correct name of the ship's steering wheel (steering wheel)
10. How does the name of the window on the ship sound in the marine language? (porthole)
11. The correct name of the floor on the ship (deck)
12. What is the correct name for a ship's bell? (bell)
13. What is the name of the lowest part of the inner space of the ship, where stocks of rum are often stored? (hold)
14. What is the name of a box or chest for personal belongings of sea wolves? (locker)
The help of adult experienced sailors is welcome! After answering all the questions of the quiz, the children receive the first part of the card. The feast continues.
Leading: There is another test ahead, for which we will get a piece of the treasure map. Look, several bottles with messages got into the net, let's see what's in these messages.
Message from the first bottle: “To get a fragment of the treasure map, guess riddles and make a code word from the first letters of the guessed words. The puzzles are in the rest of the bottles!”.
Riddles on the marine theme:
Whose ships are on the sea?
What country are they from?
To be able to know
Captains, boatswains,
These different squares
Attached to ropes
And they raise on the masts.
The seven winds blow them up.
FLAGI
We are timid sometimes
We can be brave too.
Water surrounds us
In it we breathe with gills.
With scales and fins
Swimming here and there
And we walk in shoals
We are on rivers and seas.
RFYS
The master sewed a fur coat for himself,
And I forgot to get the needle.
ERSH
The edge is visible, but you won’t reach it.
GORIZONT
A block rose above the water -
This is a very angry fish.
Showed her fin
And disappeared again in an instant.
AKULA
I'm all stained
But the fish is not river.
I am a predator of the sea
Tell me who am I?
TRESCA
A codeword:FRIGATE 
To complicate the task, for older children, riddles can be guessed in a different order, then the result will be an anagram, the answer to which will be the keyword.
After the feast, you can hold mobile competitions.
Leading: I see enemy ships ahead, I think that we will find the third fragment of the map by capturing one of the ships. Who among us is the most accurate shooter? The game "Sharp Pirate" is being held.
Boats are placed on the table. The task of the players is to shoot down as many boats as possible with the help of balls. Players are given 5 attempts. Whoever shot down the most ships is recognized as the most accurate shooter and receives a mini prize, and a piece of the map.
Leading: Here you go! We are great! We already have three fragments of the map, two more to find! Dear pirates, do you know how to tie sea knots? Let's try!
The host offers two ropes and offers to tie them in knots, as best he can. Children tie ropes.
Leading: I see, not in vain we recruited you into the team! You did a great job with this task. I think it was very easy for you. I will now ask you a more difficult test: Unravel a real sea knot from ... pirates!
Contest "Sea knot from ... pirates"
The game is played with cheerful musical accompaniment. Children stand in a circle and hold hands - it turns out a kind of round dance. Then they change places, without letting go of their hands - they tangle the sea knot. After that, at the signal of the leader, they try to unravel this knot, also without releasing their hands. After the end of the competition, the team receives another fragment of the map.
Leading: You are so great! You have done such a difficult task! How many more pieces of the map are missing? The most important part of the map, which marks the location of the treasure, is missing. Swim further! Attention! Attention! Right ahead I see a flock of ferocious piranhas! Team prepare to defend against these bloodthirsty fish!
Held competition "Save a pirate from piranhas"
Of the guests, 2 pairs are selected, if space permits, you can choose three pairs. One is “attacked by piranhas” (clothing pegs are attached to him), and the second saves him (blindfolded removes clothespins from his partner in the game). Whoever copes with the task better and faster receives a prize and a map fragment. The rest of the contestants receive consolation prizes.
Leading: You are real brave pirates! Completed all tasks! We now have all the pieces of the treasure map, and we can fold the map. Now, on the map, let's find treasures!
Children on the map find the place indicated on the diagram with a cross, where a chest with treasures (sweets) is waiting for them.
Leading: I see a sweet ship on the course, I propose to capture it and drink tea with the captured ship and the treasures found!
Children go to have tea with a cake made in the form of a pirate ship . The cake was made to order.
Leading: We've had a fun adventure! And now I announce pirate dances!
Children have fun with cheerful music. Depending on the mood of the children, others can be offered to children.
At parting, you can make figures from balloons of designers and present them to departing guests.
