Pirate Birthday Party Theme
Do you find your child fascinated by the swashbuckling adventures of Captain Jack Sparrow? Well maybe, it’s time for you to hold a pirate themed birthday party. But how exactly do you turn a birthday party into a pirate adventure? Here are a few tips:
1) Announce the theme- you need to make sure that each guest will be able to participate in every activity you plan. Because of this, you need to announce the theme of the party to the guests. This will allow them to dress in the appropriate attire and get into the spirit of the party.
2) Get help – if you find yourself confused and not knowing what to do next, you might want to consider getting some outside help. Many party services out there can help you hold the perfect pirate themed birthday party. Try to find a party service that doesn’t charge too much.
3) Hold the party outdoors – you need to find a location that can give the guests the feeling of truly being on a pirate island or ship. If you can, try to hold it in a beach or near a pool. Of course, this can be quite a safety nightmare for parents. What you need t do is make sure there are enough adults around and that you have all safety precautions in place.
4) Fireworks – what’s a pirate themed birthday party without a little cannon fire? Entertain the kids by arranging for a little fireworks display and you can be sure to capture their imaginations. Safety is always a must, so you should think about getting professionals to prepare the fireworks. This could also cost you a pretty penny and is best if you are holding the party at dusk.
5) Treasure hunting – this is one of the most exciting things about being a pirate. What you should do is have the children divided into groups and then give them a map or a series of clues. Have them search around the location for the treasure. They’ll have loads of fun.
What should you use as a treasure? Well, you may choose to bury a chest full of treats in sand. If you are prepared to deal with some hyperactive kids, you could fill the treasure chest with some chocolate coins. This should give every child a smile on his or her face.
6) Singing – A pirate’s life is filled with song, so you should hire someone who can dress up as a pirate and teach the kids some new pirate songs. This will help the guests feel included in the theme and this will also help them enjoy the party better. Singing in a good loud voice is an activity truly enjoyed by children.
7) Parrots – One image frequently associated with a pirate is the parrot. Why don’t you call up local animal trainers and find out if they can bring some parrots to the party. This sort of service often only costs a few bucks and can definitely help liven up the festivities. Just seeing a real live parrot can bring a smile to many children’s faces. Before you contact animal trainers, however, you should make sure that none of the children have allergies.
Holding a pirate themed birthday party is not really complicated. After all, there are a lot of people who can help you out.
