Fun Pirate Birthday Party Activities

Ahoy, mateys! Throwing a pirate party is a great way to have some fun on the high seas and enjoy some fun with some of your best swashbuckling friends. From Pirate party games to silly costumes, there are so many exciting ways to plan a great time!

Pirate Theme Party Games

One of the best parts of throwing a pirate party is the wide range of pirate themed party games that are available.

Here are some of our favorites:

1. Treasure hunt –  Set up a treasure hunt for your guests, complete with clues and hidden treasures. This is perfect for keeping kids entertained and engaged throughout the party. The treasure can vary according to the age group. A few ideas that would work for kids include chocolate coins, play jewels, eye patches, and pirate hats. Older guests will enjoy finding treasures such as mini rum bottles, gift cards, or silly pirate costume items.

2. Pin the patch on the pirate – This classic party game is always a hit with kids and adults alike. Print out a large picture of a pirate (or find one online) and cut out patches for each guest. Blindfold each player and have them try to pin the patch in the right spot.

3. Walk the plank – This game is perfect for older guests. Create a makeshift plank out of some sturdy wood or a large piece of cardboard. Mark off a starting point and an endpoint, and see how far your guests can make it without falling off. One fun idea is to add your plank over a kiddie pool.

4. Balloon swords – This duel is a perfect game for kids of all ages. Blow up some balloons and give each player a sword made out of a balloon. The first player to pop their opponent’s balloon while sword fighting, wins!

Of course for a true pirate themed birthday party, you are going to want more than just a few activities. It important to be prepared or you might find yourself waving the white flag and surrendering the pirate ship to the rowdiest of unorganized pirate crews.
