Sea party for children

Sailors, pirates, waves of the sea, amazing underwater inhabitants - the sea theme is filled with adventure! That is why a sea party for children is a fun way to celebrate a birthday. At a party like this, every little detail has to be taken into account in order to convey the marine atmosphere of adventure.

The design of the maritime holiday is based on associations with the sea, so the main colors here are blue and blue. All shades can be used, and you can also dilute them with bright and contrasting tones, for example, red and yellow.

In order for the room itself to be reminiscent of the sea, it is worth choosing everything that one way or another reminds of a sea voyage. To decorate a room in a nautical style, you can consider the following options.

1. Hang waves of colored paper on the wall. The room will sparkle with new colors if the paper is shiny or with a metallic coating.
2. Hang photos of seas, oceans, reservoirs on the walls. Real photos of reservoirs will tune in to the desired atmosphere, help you to feel yourself somewhere by the sea.
3. Hang anchors on the ceiling and on all convex surfaces. An anchor is associated with a ship, and a ship is associated with the sea, so an anchor at a party is one of the main attributes.
4. Doorways and walls can be decorated with homemade garlands of anchors, starfish, fish, mermaids, seashells. Such garlands are easily made using cardboard, thread and felt-tip pens.
5. Figures of ships, palm trees, islands can be placed on the tables as decor. Also useful are shells, starfish and pebbles - any souvenirs from seaside resorts.

To create a suitable atmosphere, you can include the sound of the sea as background music. These soothing sounds are perfect for a festive dinner break, while the rest of the time you can let the kids play their favorite dance music.

The atmosphere will help to create a thematic photo zone with inventory for photos. One of the corners of the room can turn into a desert island, an underwater world or a pirate ship. The photo zone can be made to order or made on your own. A large poster or drawing on a marine theme, as well as various volumetric decorations: flowers, fish, algae, will serve as a decoration for photographing. Consider a mermaid tail or a pirate hat for photography equipment.

Guests of the holiday should also dress accordingly. For both boys and girls for a sea party, there are a few mandatory matching attributes:

• for a pirate party: eye patch, vest, binoculars;

• for mermaid party: imitation fish tail, long colored hair, beautiful shiny swimsuit;

• for a sailor's party: a captain's headdress for a birthday boy or a birthday girl, a vest for all guests.

Children can dress up as marine-themed characters. For girls, these can be:

• mermaids: long shiny skirts, swimwear, long colored hair, body in sequins;
• fairies: magic wand, bright dress.

For boys, you can consider the following costume options:

• pirates: an eye patch, a toy wooden hook for a hand, a parrot toy on the shoulder, a hat, a vest and binoculars;
• Neptune: pitchfork, outfit like a Greek god (from a sheet);
• sailor: vest, captain's hat, compass, binoculars.

In addition to choosing a character, you can also consider more familiar, classic holiday outfits for children. For example, if the sea party takes place in the summer outdoors or near a pond, shorts and T-shirts will be enough for a fun and comfortable pastime.

The most important thing at a party is entertainment. Coming up with a script for a children's birthday in a marine style should also be within the framework of the theme. When choosing contests and quests for children under 10-12 years old, it is extremely important to think over the prizes, including consolation ones.

Fishing is a favorite pastime not only for men, but also for children. For an outdoor party, fishing can be arranged in an inflatable pool, while a bathtub or basin is suitable for fishing at home. You can buy a ready-made set for children's fishing in the store or make it yourself using long sticks and threads. The essence of the competition is simple: who will catch the most fish in 1-2-3 minutes.

Who said that sailors - bad dancers? The dancing on deck is worthy of a round of applause. But how does it feel to dance on a ship? Children will have to check it out. The music is selected thematically, the movements are set by the presenter. The goal is to hold out to the last and become the toughest dancer.

Songs about the sea have been sung at all times, and even children know at least a few of them. The essence of the competition is to sing as many songs about the sea and the ocean as possible. During the competition, the DJ can actively support the guys, including songs. The prize goes to the one who knows the most of the compositions.

Intellectual quiz is perfect as entertainment for younger students and adolescents. Questions are selected about the seas, oceans, marine inhabitants according to the level of the guests, so that the questions are simple, but interesting.

At a party, one or two hours can be devoted to creativity. Making crafts from shells, drawing, modeling is a useful developmental activity. Based on the results of the competition, the parents select and award the best works as a jury.

Good weather and open terrain will allow for a real sports tournament between pirates and sailors.

1. "Treasure Island";
2. "In captivity of underwater inhabitants";
3. "Expedition to the Pacific Ocean".

The essence of each of the quests is a treasure hunt. Sweets and gifts for children turn out to be treasures. The quests themselves are very exciting thanks to the tasks in the process of passing them. To get hints, children can guess riddles, collect puzzles.
