So, imagine that the game has begun.

Songs about pirates are played in the house, young guests gather into one sea team, put on scary bandanas with skulls or just eye patches, and receive an invitation to the test in the form of a note, shabby and brown with age.

And there must be tests! Not everyone can become a storm of the seas!

Children aged 5-6 years will need to read out assignments, so you need to choose in advance which parent will lead the holiday.

So, the presenter draws the attention of all the young pirates present to the note itself: “Oh, what is this? Who left this here?

And he reads the text of the note aloud:

“We are sea robbers! We are mischievous and very angry, so we hid the little gold in the chest and drew a map so as not to forget where this chest is kept.
But you won’t be able to reach them just like that, they are guarded by a sea monster!
Find the map, lads, then maybe you can find the treasure!
But first everyone needs to pass the test! Only real pirates are allowed on board the pirate ship! And only then can you steer your schooner towards the sunset!”

Secrets of preparation

To get full pleasure from the game, it is desirable that each participant gets the “treasure”. Therefore, on a birthday, you can add small amenities for other guests to the birthday gift for the birthday person: keychains, cool stationery, etc.
In our printed materials for the quest you will see a file with pirate doubloons. Pirate qualities are written on them, which children “earned” during the game. You can cut them out and put them into children's gifts one at a time or several in any order. Then the children will also compare which of them became which pirate, which will add atmosphere to the game.
For realism, you can add chocolate coins, some small change “for ringing” and a couple of “grandmother’s” beads to the treasures found.
Pack everything in a box (you can paint it like a chest, or you can cover it with bright colored paper) or in a real chest (wooden blanks can be found in craft stores) and - “Yo-ho-ho!”

It’s great that you don’t have to rack your brains yourself when coming up with a party script, but you can download, print and play!

If you take care of simple costumes, photos from an unusual party will forever remain not only in the archive, but also in your memory. And the participants will remember and praise the quest organizer for a long time, it’s been verified!
