• Another option is to play blind man's buff. The main pirate catches his friends with a black bandage over their eyes, and then guesses who he caught. The trapped person turns into the host, if he can be identified.
• The next step will be lunch, after the games you need to refresh yourself. At the table, you can give the children a chance to socialize and then run a quiz by asking questions about a variety of topics that six-year-olds may be familiar with. Since the theme is pirate, one can recall cartoons and films with pirates and let the children guess by the phrase or the name of the hero which film is being discussed.
• Then you can go back to the contests. The competition will turn out to be fun, where children are invited to draw a pirate or a ship, but with their eyes closed and the whole team. For each team, a Whatman sheet and felt-tip pens are prepared. Each participant runs to the poster and draws a part with their eyes closed. The team with the most realistic drawing wins.
• After the children need to be given free time, they also want to communicate. You can turn on the music, let them dance and frolic.
