Suitable for parents organising children’s parties, particularly Pirate themed parties, but also a witty and fun read for anyone with children or an interest in Pirates.
Children just love Pirates – they are naughty, rude, steal treasure, tell fibs, are not over fond of washing, and some of them even eat their own bogies! No wonder Pirates is such a popular theme for birthday parties.
This book is a collection of three dozen Pirate Party Games and activities suitable for children who are young enough for Pirate Themed Birthday Parties. The games are enhanced with snippets of pirate lore, pirate history, tall tales, and blatant fibs, all of which bring the games to life and ensure a truly memorable Pirate Party.

And you will discover too the pirate way of playing pass the parcel which is a lot more exciting than the usual dreary game played at parties today. Plus, how to organise a Treasure Hunt, play Pull the Tail off the Donkey, Spread the Plague, The Great Game of Pirate Ships, Captain Tantrum, Hide the Rat, Captain Blood’s Massacre, Pie Rat Tales, and many more that will entertain, occupy and enthral children, and make the adults want to join in the fun.

The history of each game is explained, along with some interesting facts of pirate lore that you always wanted to know, and quite a few that you would rather not know, but which children will just love to hear about …
