Pirates have amazed children for all ages. And a kids pirate party especially with a treasure hunt can be one of the most successful parties you could ever have, especially if you spend a little time looking for some great pirate birthday party ideas.
There are a few items you will need to pull this party off, and some organization skills will help a lot when it comes to the big day. Of course any time you're working with kids you will need to plan for the unexpected. If you can do this, then be assured that a pirates life really can be for you.
Get the party started with the right invitations. A great invitation should start with a pirate's map. You can let "x" mark the spot for the party. Give the date and the time and make sure to let everyone know they should dress in their best pirate outfit. Knowing the pirate theme well ahead of time gives everyone a chance to pick out their best pirate garb. A neat rhyme can finish off the invitation something like "ho hum, a bottle of rum, Tim turns nine and we'll have a fine time".
Pirate decorations can be really easy. You'll want to make the area look as much like a pirate as you can. A pirate party is usually held outdoors.. This way you can find some creative places to bury the treasure for your treasure hunt. Of course, if you can't do your party outdoors, you'll just have to be that much 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 all the kids have the pieces to the map, they can start the actual treasure hunt to find the buried treasure. This can be done as an individual treasure hunt or you can divide the kids into teams. Make sure not to forget pin the peg-leg on the pirate and "walk the plank" for the younger kids, of course, assuming you have a swimming 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.
