Ideas for Inside Party Games?

[luvmy3jewels]

Please help! My son's pirate themed birthday party is scheduled this weekend and it looks like we are going to have a Nor'easter. Even if it doesn't rain on Sat. afternoon, the ground will be wet and muddy. This totally changes my plans for his party. It looks like we'll have to move everything inside my house.

Does anyone have any ideas for what activities we can do inside? I'm thinking we can move the pinata into the garage, and maybe even set up the "walk the plank" pool in the garage. We were going to have an elaborate treasure hunt outside...guess I can figure a way to have that inside as well.

Thanks for any ideas that you can provide!! I've been hoping for months that the weather would cooperate. ARRGH!! (That's a frustrated ARRGH....not a pirate ARRGH!)

Where's the totally stressed and pulling my hair out icon? LOL.

We use to do Halloween parties so maybe you change the ideas a bit to fit Pirates!! ARGH!! We went to the dollar store and bought two of those plastic skeleton bodies in different colors. We took them apart and hid all the pieces in different parts of the house, and the kids had a relay to see which team would put it together first. Another was fill a box with treasure(a bunch of bubble gum or suckers) and hide it. Then write down clues. We started with the first clue being, Go to the place Santa comes in, which is the fireplace! Then leave a note there that would say go the the chair that DS has breakfast at, and tape another message under there! You can go on as long as you like, and at the end, they will find their "treasure"! We also use to put things in brown bags and have them feel/guess what it is! Cooked spaghetti was worms. Olives were suppose to be eyes! What ever you can think of!! We also blew up a bunch of balloons and had 2 kids wear Huge shirts and see which team could stuff the most balloons in their guy!!

Search Halloween games, and I'm sure you will get more ideas!
Have fun!

We play a game called 4 corners and it could easily be adapted to Pirates. The way the kids learned it was that the "it" person was a witch, and the caught people went into the stew pot, but you could change that to a pirate and...the alligator pit?

Anyway, play it in a room with 4 corners. Number the corners 1-4. One kid ("Pirate") stands in the middle and closes their eyes and counts to 10. Other kids sneak off to the various corners. Pirate picks a corner with eyes still closed. All the kids in that corner go to "the alligator pit". Pirate closes eyes, counts again, and everybody left reshuffles to different corners to repeat. When it gets down to 2 kids left, they must go to different corners so they're not caught at the same time. Last kid left is the next pirate.

We try to throw the pirate off by making noise in one corner, then sneaking off to another.
