Ideas for Pirate Party Food & Cakes:

• Pre-crumbed cooked fish (which had a bit of a boat shape) with a straight pretzel for a mast, potato faces with one eye filled with tomato sauce for an eye patch and fruit salad (to prevent scurvy!) This was served on plastic boat shaped containers  Melissa in Canberra, Australia  #7390

Ideas for Pirate Party Activities:

• Walk the plank - Each child had to walk to the end of the plank where they found a pirate flag sitting on a large orange cone. They had to pick it up and bring it back without falling off.  David in Lafayette, LA USA  #8074
