Having decided to organize a child’s birthday or another, you need to think through everything to the smallest detail. Of course, preparing costumes, invitations, menus and room decorations, and attributes for a pirate party is an important part of a successful holiday, as it sets the real pirate spirit. But a properly composed script will help ensure that the pirate sabbath is unforgettable and interesting.
Important tips for writing a children's pirate party script
The simplest solution would be to order a children's party service from a professional entertainment organization. Various program options, proven scenarios, the presence of specific props and a number of other advantages become decisive arguments in favor of this choice.
But. Who knows better than the parents the character of the child and his friends, his preferences and desires?
And even though organizing a children’s party is a troublesome task, you won’t find better directors and producers than a loving mom and dad.
The main thing is to take into account some features and the success of the venture is guaranteed. When choosing a script and competitions, consider the age of the kids. Entertainment that is interesting to preschoolers will make children over 10 years old smile. But complex quests, so beloved by older children, will be incomprehensible to kids.
Include too active competitions, games, as well as competitions related to the use of water paraphernalia in the scenario of a children's pirate party held on the street. Broken windows, dishes, stained carpets are not a very good result of the holiday.
Consider the character of children. Involve quiet people in competitions too. Don’t create a “one-player” holiday, no matter how much you might want to highlight your favorite among the sea gang.
Be fair in refereeing, do not play along with teams - children are sensitive to lies. Alternate active games with calm competitions, between which be sure to invite the children to the table for refreshments.
At the end of the holiday, you need to reward each participant, regardless of his activity. Children should have only positive memories after the celebration.
Holiday for children 2-3 years old
When choosing a script and competitions for a pirate party for children, take into account the young age of the kids.
The pirate holiday for children two to three years old involves the holding of calmer competitions that do not require solving logical problems.
They should not be associated with the implementation of rapid or precise actions.
Therefore, you will have to carefully consider the scenario and children's competitions for a pirate party outdoors or indoors for the youngest pirates.
Pirate race
Kids will have to make their own pirate ship and come up with a name for it. To do this, each participant in the regatta receives building materials in the form of walnuts, plasticine, toothpicks, and sail leaves.
Children 4–6 years old can easily cope with this task at a pirate party.
For children 2-3 years old - participants in a pirate party, you can prepare boats made of thick paper in advance.
When the schooners are ready, the speed competition begins. The sea will become a basin filled with water. Each pair of participants launches their boat into the water.
The goal is to quickly reach the opposite shore. To do this, kids blow into the sails without using their hands. The owner of the fastest yacht advances to the next round. The winners of the qualifying stages will participate in the final race.
Which child doesn’t like to make faces? It is impossible to win this competition without using your grimacing skills.
After all, you will have to get rid of the matchbox that is put on your nose without using your hands. It is difficult to complete such a task, but unforgettable photographs will remain as a memory.
Pirate puzzle
The principle of this distinction is based on the rules of the Puzzle game. Children will collect pirate pictures.
To do this, you can print out bright pictures depicting ships, chests filled with treasures, and sea shells.
Choose pictures that are clear and free of details that are too small or blurry.
We cut the finished drawing into asymmetrical parts. For children under 5 years old, cutting the sheet into 8-12 pieces will be enough.
For older children, you can make the task more difficult by cutting the image into smaller pieces. Each child receives their own set, and the winner will be the participant who completes the puzzle first.
Pirate party scenario for children 4, 5, 6 years old
Preschool children are still restless and fussy.
It's going to be quite an exciting event if you try to attract the attention of the kids and don't leave them any free time for pranks.
Active competitions, relay races and simple logical tasks are suitable for a children's birthday scenario in the style of a pirate party.
Hit the target
No, we will not shoot with bows or pistols.
We will need balls of different colors. Opponents receive 5 “shells”. The target to hit is a regular bucket or box.
Children try to throw their balls exactly at the target.
Of course, the player with the best result becomes the winner and participants in the next round. The most accurate sea wolves will fight in the finals.
Balloons will act as sea monsters. Appliqués, rope or paper tentacles will help make them more realistic.
Such a monster can only be defeated with darts.
The player is given three attempts to destroy one of the warriors of the army of sea reptiles. But the competition doesn't end there.
After all, inside the monster ball there is a message note. And only by completing the task written on it can you defeat the enemy.
Find the treasure
The competition involves searching for special treasures - chocolate coins.
They are hidden in secluded and most unexpected places.
Just limit your search. Otherwise, inquisitive treasure hunters will look both in the pan and under the toilet lid.
We turn on an incendiary melody and encourage the participants with distracting chants. The winning team will bring the most jewels in the allotted time.
If such a competition is held for children two to three years old, it is better to place balls, pebbles, and coins in a sandbox or in a basin with sand.
Let the little adventurers try to dig up the secret treasure.
An island for every pirate
We will need gymnastic hoops. There will be one less of them than the pirates participating in the competition.
While the music plays, sea wolves ply the ocean, running around the hoop islands. As soon as the music stops, the storm begins. So it's time for the pirates to dock.
Children jump into island hoops and start spinning them.
And the pirate who did not get shelter dies in the depths of the sea - he is eliminated from the competition. In the following stages, we remove one island at a time until one winning pirate remains.
These are no longer just pirates - these are experienced sailors who are familiar with grammar and know how to solve problems as a team.
Therefore, feel free to include quizzes, relay races and team competitions in the pirate holiday scenario for children 7–9 years old.
For children in this age category, you can already come up with a storyline. And since the main goal of the pirates is to find the treasure, then the entire program should be connected with its search.
We are preparing a map for a pirate party for children, which will indicate the pirates’ path to the treasure. You can draw it or print it ready-made.
Aging the card by dipping the paper in strong tea leaves or coffee. Burn and tear the edges of the secret message. Of course, such a guide will not be given to teams in its original form.
An evil pirate - one of the parents tears the message into pieces at the beginning of the party, and the kids' goal is to get all the lost pieces. And for this you need to go through difficult tests. And only the winners of the competition will be able to receive the coveted piece of the map.
Secret password
What's a secret without a password? The team, going on a dangerous journey, must clearly know the code phrase. But it's not that easy to do.
It is known only to one member of the team, and it cannot be said out loud or written on paper. Therefore, now the lucky one who knows the password - a code phrase (the child recognizes it from a folded leaf that he takes out of a vase) will have to resort to acting. With gestures and movements, the baby gives the team hints, based on which they must guess the password.
Dangerous reefs
Only experienced and brave sea wolves can overcome the terrible reefs. The teams face a difficult test.
They must take part in a relay race, which is essentially an obstacle course. Of course, organizing such a large-scale competition requires space.
Therefore, it is better to hold this competition not indoors, but during a pirate party for children on the street.
But, if desired, such a relay race can be divided into several independent competitions.
We create an obstacle course. First, the participant must get out of the bay - run around 8-10 pins arranged in a zigzag pattern. Dive into the depths of the sea - crawl under three or four chairs placed in a row or low-stretched ropes.
To pass the area with piranhas - walk along the board installed above the children's pool, infested with children's fish - “evil piranhas”.
Cross a narrow strait - run, get between tapes, ropes attached to stands or chairs. It is advisable to make the strait winding.
Get your opponents out of the way by knocking down the pins with tennis balls. The participant does not continue the relay race without completing this task. It may take 5 or 8 attempts. Therefore, stock up on balls in large quantities.
Get to the island over bumps. For bumps, use A-5 sheets (half a landscape sheet). Decorate pieces of sushi with original designs in the form of turtles, shells, starfish, and seashells.
Place the leaves at a large distance, but not in a straight line. A child can step on a bump with only one foot. If a participant stumbles, he starts this stage of the relay over again.
At the end of the journey, an island awaits the brave sea wolf - the child must stand in the hoop, lift it up and, after removing it over his own head, put the hula hoop back in place.
Bring good news to the team. At the end of the obstacle course, place a flowerpot in which you place coins or black marks. It is this attribute that the participant must bring to his team when returning to the beginning of the sea route.
After this, the next team member sets sail. The winner of the relay race is the team that first overcomes all the hardships of the sea voyage.
Quiz
Pirates who have sailed the seas for many days are well acquainted with both maritime terminology and the rules of pirate life. It's time to show off your knowledge. Children answer questions from the presenter, earning gold doubloons for their team for each correct answer.
- The rudder of a ship is the steering wheel.
- The favorite drink of pirates is rum.
- Ship's kitchen - galley.
- Jack Sparrow's ship is the Black Pearl.
- The punishment for pirates who stole from their friends was to cut off their nose and ears.
- Have a good voyage - seven feet under the keel.
Captains competition
Each captain receives a secret name that his opponent should not know. The nickname must be associated with any sea inhabitants: turtle, starfish, shark, stingray.
A picture of the prototype is attached to the back of the pirate leader.
The opponent's goal is to find out the opponent's name. But this is not so easy to do. After all, according to the terms of the competition, the captain is one-legged (children bend one leg at the knee and hold it with their hand).
Moving by jumping on one leg, the captains try to look behind the opponent’s back in order to be the first to see the clue.
Pirate party ideas for children over 10 years old
These experienced sailors spent more than one year away from their native shores. They can handle difficult tasks and are not afraid of dangerous trials.
Therefore, feel free to come up with intricate plots intertwined with logical riddles and puzzles for the scenario of a pirate-themed party for children over 10 years old.
The scenario should be like a quest, where one task for a pirate party for children logically leads into the next.
The purpose of the trip, of course, is to search for treasure. But on the way to the treasured treasures, no one canceled the songs, dances and entertainment. As a pirate, this will require finance.
Therefore, at the beginning of the party, we enter the holiday currency, which will be needed for the game for children “Pirates at the Holiday”. With the earned or won piastres - medals or coins - participants will be able to buy drinks in an impromptu bar and buy the missing pieces of the map.
A codeword
Children must solve a difficult puzzle. They receive props in the form of ice cubes, in which the clue pictures are frozen. The first letter of each image is part of the code word. For example, the helm is “bumblebee”, “tiger”, “snail”, “river”, “wolf”, “apricot”, “moon”. Or depicts a cipher code.
You can freeze the image of letters to compose an entire phrase. The teams must complete the task until the ice melts.
Climb into the bottle
The guys must unravel the secret word. To do this, they receive 5 bottles each containing scrolls with hint texts.
The first team to solve the mysterious message becomes the winner.
To avoid questions about the correctness of the answer, we write the word on the board and cover it with a curtain.
You can add any competitions and games to the pirate party scenario for children and adults, adapting them to the pirate theme. In addition to the script, ideas from will help you prepare a pirate holiday for children.
Competition 1
At a sea or pirate birthday party for the little ones, a simple game “Water-Land” will be fun: an island circle is drawn on the floor, land is inside it, water is outside. Children stand inside the circle on land, and then follow the commands of the leader, who says either “Water!” or “Land!” At the same time, the children either jump out of the circle or jump in again. The presenter can constantly confuse them by repeating the same command.
Contest 2
For older children, you can organize a reeling game “Raising the Anchor”. Take a long rope, to which a cardboard anchor is attached exactly in the middle. Pencils or sticks are tied to the ends of the rope. Two children take part: each takes one end of the rope in his hands and, at the command of the leader, begins to wind it around a pencil. Whose pencil touches the anchor faster wins.
Competition 3

Children do not see objects in advance. The player is put on a mask, placed one of the objects on the floor and asked to find and guess it.

The author of the most original nickname receives a prize.
Competition 10
Contest " KNOT»
Any pirate simply must have the art of tying sea knots. The next competition will show how novice robbers can do this. First you need to appoint a leader. It could be the birthday boy himself.

needs to be tied in a sea knot. Players can twist around, step over the hands of the player standing next to them, and crawl anywhere without letting go of their neighbor’s hand.

Competition 11
Contest Blind Sailor. The presenter (mother) announces: And now I want to find out how friendly a team you are and whether you recognize each other blindfolded by your voice. A “blind” sailor is selected from among the players. The rest of the players, holding hands, stand around him. He claps his hands, and the participants in the game begin to walk in a circle. The “blind man” claps again - and the players in the circle stop and freeze. After this, the “Blind” presenter points to one of the guys, trying to guess who it is. If he guesses right the first time, then the person the leader guessed takes his place. If the “blind” leader did not guess correctly on the first try, then he can touch this participant and try to guess a second time, he can ask the participant to say a word, bark, meow, etc. If successful, the player who was recognized becomes “blind”. This competition can be held two or three times. At the end of the competition, the host announces that the team is really friendly.

We offer interesting competitions for a pirate party for children. They are suitable for a party at home, in a cafe or outdoors. To hold games and competitions you need a minimum of props, a lot of good mood and prizes in a pirate style for little sea robbers.
Active competitions for a children's pirate party
Competition "Scrubbing the Deck"
Participants are divided into two teams. Each person is given a long-handled brush and an empty matchbox. A mark is made at a distance of 3-4 meters opposite the team. The players’ task is to bring the box with a brush to the sign, and then return it back and pass it to the next participant. The team that completes the task faster wins the relay race.
Competition “Every pirate has his own island”
To play, you need to prepare hoops (hula-hoops) or just small circles made of paper - these are “islands”. There should be one less of them than the guests of the holiday. While the song is playing, the children dance around the “islands,” and as soon as the music stops, each participant must jump into their own hoop. The pirate left without an “island” is eliminated, and the presenter takes one hula hoop. The competition continues until one child remains - the winner.
Competition "Walk Over the Abyss"
Two leaders (or just adults) hold the rope at the height of the children. A line is laid out on the floor with another cord along the same trajectory - a bridge over the abyss. Participants need to walk across the bridge holding the top rope with their hands. The presenters are rocking it, since the structure is old, the wind is strong...
The competition can be held by dividing children into teams - then the one that “fell off” the bridge the least wins. If the guys just compete with each other, then the winner is the most dexterous player.
Competition "On boarding"
This game is a competition for two teams. You should prepare two improvised “ships”, for example, put several chairs together (or use an armchair, sofa, etc.). While the music is playing, the pirates are dancing, and as soon as the presenter stops the composition, the whole team needs to climb onto the ship. The team that finishes it faster wins.
Competition for the strongest pirates “Tug of War”
This is a traditional competition for children. If a pirate-themed party is held in a house, then couples participate, and if outdoors, then teams participate. Indoors, the border is marked with tape or rope; outdoors, it is simply drawn with chalk. Players stand on both sides of the line and pull the rope. If pairs compete, the loser is eliminated and the winner advances to the next round. In the final, the strongest pirate is determined.
Quiet fun for little pirates
Competition "Pirate Race"
Participants are given materials for making pirate yachts: walnut shells, colored paper, toothpicks, plasticine. Alternatively, you can simply make boats from thick paper. Each child builds a yacht with his own hands and comes up with a name. Then the presenter suggests holding a ship competition for speed. The sea will be a basin of water. Children divide into pairs and launch their yachts into the water. They need to catch up with the boat to the opposite edge as quickly as possible, blowing on it. Helping with your hands is prohibited. The winner advances to the next stage of the competition. The owners of the fastest yachts compete in the final.
Each player is given an empty matchbox. You need to put it on your nose and remove it without using your hands. Children love to make faces, so they will be happy to complete the task. After this, you need to reward each participant. And don’t forget to take a photo of the brightest moments.
You need to prepare pirate-themed pictures in advance (print them on A4 or A5 sheets) with skeletons, ships, treasure chests, etc. Cut the images into asymmetrical parts (the older the participants, the finer the details). Each player receives a set of elements from which they need to assemble a picture. The one who completes the task faster wins.
Alternatively, you can use puzzles with images of sea creatures or pirates.
Competitions for a pirate party for children outdoors
Competition "Man Overboard"
Two teams of children are participating. Opposite each of them (at a distance of several meters) sits a doll. Teams receive a life preserver.

The winner is the team that “rescued” the person overboard faster.
Competition "The most accurate pirate"
Contenders for the title of the most accurate pirate flock in pairs. Each player receives five balls of the same color. At a distance of 3-4 meters from the participants there is a box or basket. Task: throw all your balls into the box. Then the leader counts the balls of each color. The winner advances to the next round, and the loser is eliminated. In the final, the two most accurate pirates fight.
Competition "Fire to kill"
The competition is great for an outdoor pirate party. To play, you need to prepare a powerful water gun and paper boats. The animator can make them together with the children.
A fleet of paper ships is displayed on the table. Players take turns shooting at them. The one who shoots down the most ships wins.
To play you will need balloons decorated to look like sea monsters (painted, with tentacles glued on), and darts. You need to put notes with fun tasks inside the balls and secure the “monsters” to a board or thick cardboard. The host tells the players that brave pirates must defeat an army of sea monsters. Each child throws darts into the ball (everyone determines the number of attempts together) and completes the task that is written on the note. After this, the monster is considered defeated.
Examples of tasks:
- tell a poem;
- solve a riddle;
- sit down 8 times;
- crow;
- jump 5 times, etc.
All kids, without exception, love secrets, mysteries and treasures. That's why pirate themes are so popular among children. So why not make it the basis of an exciting birthday scenario? What the little ones like inspires their parents, which means the holiday will certainly be amazing and exciting.

To gather your child's friends for a pirate-themed birthday party, prepare special invitations. They can be made on artificially aged sheets, using craft paper. Approximate number of guests – 8 people.
Decorating the place of celebration
You can organize a party in a pirate style both in an apartment and in the open air. Decorations include: balloons, flags with pirate symbols, empty glass bottles with notes inside, stones, shells, small boats, pictures with seascapes.
Thinking through the treats
For a pirate holiday, you can prepare meat chops, boiled potatoes, and cut fresh vegetables. For sweets, chocolates and cookies, and various fruits would be quite appropriate. You can attach small “sails” made of paper to toothpicks and decorate dishes with them. A cake in the shape of a pirate ship will be a great final touch to a themed birthday.
We prepare the necessary props
The game program requires some preliminary preparation. For competitions you will need:
- Pirate map. It can be made on a sheet of craft paper, or on regular paper aged with tea.
- Face painting, vests, blindfolds, pirate hats.
- Sword for catching rings (a toy sword is inserted into a cardboard box with the blade facing up).
- Ten rings with a diameter of approximately 15 cm.
- Ropes with cardboard anchors at one end and pencils at the other.
- Yellow balloons, as well as eyes, mouths, fins, tails to create fish.
- Various cans and cubes from which “ships” and balls will be built.
- Bowl of water, apples.
- Treasure chest. This is a small box or casket containing chocolate coins.
- Gifts for participants: bags with souvenirs and sweets.
Birthday script in pirate style
The host of the celebration is one of the adults dressed as a pirate.
Leading: Yo-ho-ho! Greetings, kids! I'm an old pirate named Jack, and I came here for a reason today. A long time ago, a sailor named Sam entrusted me with the secret of where the treasure was hidden. He said that I could only find them with the help of brave kids who dream of becoming pirates. And now this day has come! Will you help me find the treasure?
The children answer in unison: “Yes!”
Leading: Do you know what I have? Treasure map! Yes, yes, a real map, with its help we will find the chest. But first, I want to brighten things up for you a little.
The children use face painting to paint mustaches, beards, and pirate marks. In addition, children are dressed in vests, hats and other pirate paraphernalia.
Leading: Well, it's time to hit the road! Let's look at the map... An exciting journey awaits us. In the meantime: “Raise the anchors!”
Children are given ropes with anchors and pencils. On command, the guys begin to race to wind the rope around the pencil.
Leading: So where are we going? The map shows “Quiet Bay”, which means we need to go there. Let's make small supplies of provisions, because soon we will arrive on a desert island. Now we will fish!
The children are given inflated yellow balloons, as well as various parts for creating fish: tails, fins, eyes. The young pirates must each make a fish.
Leading: So we arrived at the shore of an uninhabited island. We need to go ashore!
A circle is drawn on the floor, the space inside it is land, beyond the line is water. Children listen carefully to the leader and every now and then jump over the line, or return back. The presenter gives the commands “Water!” or “Land!”
Leading: Great, here we are on the shore. Where will the map lead us, let's see? Yo-ho-ho! Yes, this is the “Pirate Cave”. Here we will have to linger a little to show ourselves properly. We're clever! We are strong!
Children repeat after the leader: “Dexterous!”, “Strong!” etc.
Leading: Do you see this sword, which many years ago was stuck here by the bravest of the brave, the strongest of the strong? Only those who are accurate enough will be able to move on.
In this test you need to throw rings onto a protruding sword from a distance of about two to three meters. Each child is given several attempts.
Leading: I'm glad you made it through, but it wasn't easy, wasn't it? After such a serious test, you need to refresh yourself. Look, the map leads us to the “Mysterious Jungle”. There we will find something edible. And, remember, a real pirate is able to get food even in the wild.
Apples float in a large basin of water. Children must get the fruit without using their hands, that is, with their teeth.
Leading: We had a hearty dinner. But the most delicious thing is still ahead of us, we are almost at the goal, and we are moving along the map to the “Beach of Surprises”. Oh no! What I see? Enemy ships!
“Ships” were built from various available materials. Children must break each and every one of them using balls.
Leading: Oh my young pirates, I can't believe it! It seems that now what I have been waiting for all my life will happen. There are treasures hidden here somewhere. But I can't guess what is written on the card.
The presenter reads the riddle:
“I am a huge machine!
Everyone is happy to trust me
Make your vest clean,
Pants, T-shirt and shirt.
The door needs to be opened slightly
To get the treasure."
Leading: I have no idea what this is about? I've been swimming in the seas for so many years, but I've never heard of such a thing. Children, do you understand what is encrypted in these incomprehensible verses?
Participants answer “Washing machine”
Leading: So what are we waiting for? Let's run to her!
Everyone heads to the washing machine, which contains a chest of coins.
Leading: Oh, no one is happier than me! The dream of my whole life has come true! And now I am ready to give you the gift you deserve.
The pirate gives everyone bags with souvenirs and invites the kids to the table. When everyone is seated, the birthday cake is brought in. The event ends with a feast and tea.
A pirate cake could look like this:
