What’s a pirate party without some exciting and swashbuckling games?

Throwing a PIRATE PARTY?
☑️ These Pirate Party Decorations are the perfect way to get your party planning headed in the right direction!
Planning Pirate Games
If your little buccaneers are anything like mine, they already know a whole bunch about how a pirate party should go down.
My little pirate princesses LOVE Jake and the Neverland pirates (especially Captain Hook, believe it or not) and are experts in all the pirate lingo.
This makes pirate party games, that much more fun because they really get into the action and take it to a different level of swashbuckling! Here are some ideas to get you sailing…
Treasure Hunt
One sure fire activity that are guaranteed to be fun is of course, a treasure hunt… This one is pretty easy.
You just need a map, draw your own out on parchment paper and using easy to identify landmarks around your party area for some fun and hide a treasure chest for them to find….the more you can have your little pirate band running around (and burning energy/sugar high) searching for their treasure…the better!
Even throw in some fun pirate-y clues along the way from good ol’ Davy Jones!! Fill the treasure chest with shareable goodies or party favors and watch those little cuties smile!
Another fun option would be to download a printable treasure hunt and fill a treasure chest piñata at the end!
Cannonball Fight
Another awesome pirate activity is a cannonball fight (aka throwing black water balloons at one another). This is super economical and super fun…especially if it’s a warm day:)
Walk the Plank by Couture Crafts
This adorable and easy pirate game is sure to be a hit. I love how rustic this set-up looks. Remember, pirates aren’t neat and tidy…they have rough edges and NEVER match:)

What a fun party idea! My daughter loves pirates
This is such a cute idea for a party. I love the “walk the plank” game, that looks like so much fun!
Such a cute theme for party. I am sure my daughter will like it. saving this page for ideas. :)
My nephew would love that. Last year we went to a pirate boat in South Jersey, he was so happy, imagine if he has his theme party like that. I would share with my sister in law. Very nice as usual.
OMG I love the walk the plank! And their outfits. I’ve done a pirate party once, we made an apple pie pirate ship. It was so much fun.
Oh! This is so darn adorable! I LOVE the walk the plank feature and the hook! Super cute – I’m sure everyone had fun!
Oh my gosh! The pirates and tutus are so adorable!!
This looks like such a lot of fun. We actually did a pirate party for my daughter when she turned 7. It was a lot of fun. The scavenger hunt for buried treasure was a blast. But that’s so cool you have the walking the plank thing. I didn’t think of doing that.
Ahh what a great theme for a kids party. These are all fantastic ideas and I may have to use them for my little guy’s next party. (he is into Pirates right now) I’ll be pinning this for later.
