Pirate Party

Everyone loves a pirate party and we have lots to give your little ship-mates a swash-buckling grrrreat time!

The party helper starts the pirate show getting to know the children while face painting and listening to pirate songs (music and effect lights are provided by professional disco equipment).  We also offer to paint hands/arms, which some younger children find more appealing. Girls can be painted as anything they want (Butterfly, princess, flower-fairy etc) but we do girl pirate faces as well (using glitter of course!)

Next it time for our pirate adventure game where we find  Pirate Bills’ Parrott who keeps the children entertained with music, dancing,  pirate jokes and even a bubble machine while the face painting is finished off  (no long ques of bored boys and girls waiting to have their faces painted). We then have one more game before its time to eat.

Towards the end of the first hour we would assume that it is time for lunch/tea (provided by yourselves)– we play some pirate music whilst the children are eating. We also take this opportunity to make a start on the balloon modelling, we understand that children do not want to wait long for their balloons and start blowing up balloons ready for the end of the party.

Following food we then sit the children down ready for the puppet show and this is when we bring out the birthday cake and organise the Happy Birthday Sing Song which we sing in English and Welsh, (giving you plenty of time to cut the cake for party bags) Don’t forget a lighter and your camera!

Then we have our puppet show which lasts about fifteen minutes. The puppet show is about a Pirate and a Princess so we keep the girls happy too. All our shows are interactive where the children shout back at the puppets like a pantomime, keeping them involved and entertained. At the end  of the puppet show, a wizard casts a spell with the help of the children, to make it snow. We use a snow foam machine and it rains down little snow flakes over everyone which is, quite simply, magical! (Don’t worry this does not make a mess as the snow foam is made from tiny bubbles which dissipate to nothing).

Time for more games, we find that boys have more energy to burn off than girls so we make the pirate party more energetic and try to wear them out for you.

At last its time to find out who will be receiving those lovely balloon prizes for the games and dancing throughout the party, it is then decided that all the boys and girls who have come to the party have been so good that we decide to make them all winners and give balloon prizes to everyone.
