Pirate party ideas
Young and old alike enjoy the pirate theme.
Talk Like a Pirate Day is on
September 19 every year, just one of many excuses for a pirate party. Check out
our pirate party ideas and the following online shops for inspiration for pirate gifts and
swashbuckling parties.
Pirate treasure maps - for a pirate party game or
authentic pirate invitation, age the paper.
- Play around with different fonts but make sure the finished product is
readable. Blackadder and Viner Hand are a couple of suitably piratical
fonts which are still easy to read. Have a look in your wordprocessing
software to see what you have.
- Perfectly straight edges and square corners are a giveaway -- slightly
burn the edges with a candle or cigarette lighter or simply tear the edges
off.
- Old paper that has seen a bit of adventure looks battered and
discoloured. There are many techniques to age paper. A few ideas
are:
- Dunk the paper in a basin full of strong lukewarm tea, or simply
wipe or dab the paper with used teabags. If the paper is saturated it
will buckle and warp as it dries. If you don't want this, or if it's
too wrinkled, iron with a cool iron once dry.
- Dampen the paper then flick specks on instant coffee onto it.
The dampness will cause the coffee stains to spread a little, resulting
in dark spots.
- Spray the page with lemon juice then bake it in the oven or iron.
This creates brown speckles. Make sure your paper doesn't burn too
much -- adult supervision is required for this one.
- Crumple the paper when dry to get some nice creases.
- NOTE: Make sure any printing is waterproof before
wetting it.
Alternatively, for an artistic flourish, write with a calligraphy pen after
treating the paper.
Pirate treasure hunt - hide gold chocolate coins around the
garden and make a treasure map as above.
Pin the flag on the map - A variation on pin the tail on the
donkey, create a large map with an "X" marking the spot, put some blu-tack on
the back of a mini jolly roger flag, and get blindfolded party-goers to "pin
the flag on the map". The winner is the person who gets the flag closest
to the "X".
Captain says - A variation of Simon Says, the captain issues
orders but only the ones starting "Captain says..." are to be followed.
Anyone who doesn't literally obey a "Captain says" order, or who obeys an order
without the "Captain says", is out.
