birthday party invitations templates for boys image
Pinky
Answer
I am in a similar situation. I am hosting a princess and pirate party for my daughter's fifth birthday April 29th. I went to the Dollar Tree in New York state and found (cardboard) treasure chests and pink castles to put the kids party favor's in. I have already mailed out a tri-fold castle invitation and I used stampin' up princess and pirate stamp sets to decorate them. For the girls gifts I hit the dollar stores and wallmart for tiara's, disness princess logo stuff, a mirror, comb, brush set in a beautiful bag. I found clear glass slippers at walmart. For the guys I've got pirate pistals, gold coins, eye patches and hats. I have tons of games for the pirate and some for the princess but I have yet to find anything on line that encorporates the two. I have made up one game that would be along the lines of freeze tag or regular tag called rescue or capture the princess, but I am still working out the rules of the game so the girls don't get hurt. I threw a big Pirate Party for my son in October and typed up what I did for a friend. I'll paste that document here.
Party Games
Make a pirate flag- Youâll need black paper, scissors, glue, stickers, and copies of the Jolly Roger template. Have the kids make a pirate flag and put their name on it. I had the kids to this as they arrived as a little get to know you ice breaker. Play the soundtrack to pirates of the Caribbean or Peter Pan while they do it and while they eat.
Treasure hunt- Each clue leads to another clue leading up to a treasure chest of booty. We made up two teams and put a mom on each team to be a guide on the side. Each team got a map rolled in ribbon the color of their clues. I didnât want them to find each othersâ clues. The birthday boy is the captain and his guests are his crew. Make a map of the house that looks like a treasure map. We had eight clues for each team and handed them their first clue to get them started. You could use picture clues instead of written text.
Clue examples: âAs any pirate ought to know this where the tomatoes grow.â âYouâll find clue number four behind the door.â âdonât have to cross the moat, check Nateâs coat.â
X marks the hidden treasure- (Pin the tail on the donkey) draw a treasure map with a red X on it. Blind fold the kids and the pirate who gets the closest wins a prize. I put the guests names on the map such as Liamâs pass and Julianâs Lagoon and gave each kid a tiny paper treasure chest with their name on it.
Pirate wrap- create teams of injured pirates and doctors. The first team to completely wrap their patient in dollar store toilet paper from head to toe wins a prize. They have to start over if it rips.
Pirate shipt cannon toss- Get two appliance boxes and cut out the outline of a pirate ship and spray paint them to look piratey. We did it outside so we staked ours in the ground so that they stood up on their own. Divide the kids into two teams and give each team 10 rolled up black socks. Blow a whistle and give each team a minute to try and get as many âcannon ballsâ as they can behind the other teamâs ship. The team with the most cannons in it when the whistle blows sinks. We did the best two out of three and gave the winning team pirates gold (individually packaged peanut M & Mâs. (Iâll give you the socks)
Swab the deck- Youâll need two brooms and two golf balls. Take the kids outside and line them up into two teams and create a relay race for each team. The first team to have every pirate make it up and back and sit down wins. More booty for the winning team.
Marooned game- (tag) The birthday boy is the shark and the marooned pirates have to get from their island to the mainland without getting tagged. Who ever getâs caught becomes the shark. The last pirate left wins.
Games we didnât get to or didnât consider:
Tick tock find the croc- Hide a timer and have the kids find it before it goes off.
Sleeping pirate- the pirate sit in a circle and the sleeping pirate sits in the center with a set of keys. Someone takes his keys and he gets three guesses as to who has his keys. If he guesses correctly, the thief goes to sleep in the center.
Piñata- homemade in the shape of a cannon ball (around a balloon and painted black).
Peg Leg Race- tie partners together for a three legged race.
Walk the plank- paint a piece of wood and have the kids try to stay on it without falling off it.
Pirate tug of war- a rope with a rag in the middle.
Read a pirate story- if things get nuts read them a book.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Decorations: Halloweenish (sculls, skeletons, nautical, parrots). I used a red and white theme with black table cloth with red 12x12 scrapping paper with pirate ships on it for the placemats and put each pirateâs name on it.
The dollar store in Vestal sells colored plates (cake and dinner) and napkins to match for 20 people. I got red. They had pirate cake napkins.
I had greg set up our train table with pirate playmobils on it.
Shopping list
Pirate tattoos (sold at AC MOORE near the coloring books) They also have cheap wooden boxes for $3.00 to use as treasure chests. If you have the time you might be able to make them from a shoe box.
Extra pirate hats and bandanas (you can buy bandanas for a buck at Michaels). Felt pirate hats were at the dollar store in union on Main street.
Wal-Mart sells colored bags made of a see-through material in their wedding isle for a buck or two for a dozen. I put blue and white crystal cut bead things (made to go inside of flower vases) from their floral department inside them and called them treasure.
I bought swards and pirate costume packages at the same dollar store. Wrapped them in red paper (from the dollar store too).
Menu
Hot dogs in a bun with a sail in it. Use wooden skewers and white card
stock to make sails.
Tropical fruit on a skewer- I used fresh pineapple, star fruit, grapes,
strawberries, kiwi.
I made dead manâs hand punch â freeze some juice in a plastic disposable glove and put in a punch bowl with some sprite and some Hawaiian punch.
Gold fish
Homemade French-fries/potato wedges.
Web sites that I checked also mentioned using chicken nuggets as (pieces of eight) or chicken legs without silverware.
Greg and I made a pirate ship cake. Iâll include a photo of ours and the directions.
Pirate phrases and lingo
Blow the man down
Batten down the hatches
Lower the sails
Scurvy dog
Down the hatch, me ladies
Pirate booty
Red sky in the morning, sailors warning. Red sky at night sailors delight
Swab the deck
Ahoy thar, matey
Gangway
Walk the plank
By hook or by crook
Aye aye captain
Crows nest
Shiver me timbers
Run the Jolly Roger up yonder pole
You can barrow the pirate with the glowing eyeballs, and the light up sculls that I bought after Halloween. You can also use the sign that I made for the door.
One web site talked about making name tags making their name piratey but I couldnât figure out how to transform the names.
I hope that this helps. Although I put a lot of time into planning the pirate party, it was definitely easier to find ideas on the web than the princess part of it. I would love to hear what you have come up with.
