- Of course, the search for treasure. If you are allowed a place, make a quest for guests with a treasure hunt. Guests can get a piece of the map together with an invitation. When guests fold all map, they find the way to the gifts. The map can be "lost", let guests during the evening guess the puzzles and approach the place where the map is hidden.
- Test the dexterity of pirates: spear-darts into a target, rings on hooks suspended on a shield; From the bow arrows suckers into the prey, throw the lasso on the mops in the bucket (to the mop glue the fake head of the horse);
- If it takes place in the pool, you can arrange maritime battles and competitions for the best mooring.
- Diving for treasure. In the pool drowning a few interesting gizmos and players should collect as much as possible from the bottom.
- Treasure Hunt. In the chest or pelvis pour sand and bury any shiny nonsense - beads, glass, coins. Players should, for a certain period of time, find as much as possible a teaspoon or Chinese chopsticks
- Make paper boats with sails, let the teams or individual players blow into sails and drive the boat to victory!
- To decouple the speed of the sea knots;
- Pulling the rope;
- "laundering the deck". We divide the room with an adhesive tape in half. On both sides we throw balls and crumpled paper. Two teams get mops and begin to scrub their part of the deck, trying to throw "garbage" on the side of the enemy. A minute later we check who's "deck" is cleaner. "
- guessing puzzles on the sea and pirate theme;
- decipher pirated slang (phrases, turns, swear words);
- "Find the eye of a pirate". Prepared spaghetti, filled with sauce, you can jelly or mayonnaise. Small objects and one glass eye are hiding in this storm. Covered with a cloth and the player must find the eye for a touch.
- Crossing. Two captains ask you to hold the rope from different ends above the head. On the same trajectory lay the rope on the floor - it will be a bridge. Now both teams in turn will cross the bridge, holding on to the top rope, which the captains must swing heavily from side to side - the wind after all!
As a result of the games, individual players and teams can be rewarded. We hope you will remember this party for a long time to your guests!
