Nautical theme for birthday. How to organize a children's party in a marine style: scenario "Around the world voyage


Relax on the beach, on board a ship, on a desert island or in the amazing underwater world? Nautical party is a large selection of colorful themes for a child's birthday. Funny contests and bright scenery will give children a lot of positive emotions!

Decor

Decide whether to limit yourself to one topic or combine them all with an emphasis on the main idea. By and large, there is no difference, because this is a children's party, and not a wedding or social reception. We offer design options for any theme as part of a sea party for children:

  • hang waves on the walls, sandy islands with palm trees, boats. Cut out of cardboard, paint or glue colored paper on top. Large decorations will serve as a background and hide unsuitable interior elements;
  • decorate the ceiling with garlands. Striped triangles, anchors, sailor ties - horizontally. Blue circles (water bubbles), stars, crabs, fish - vertically, on a transparent fishing line. Volumetric decorations in a marine style are very beautiful - algae, octopuses, jellyfish;

  • use balloons for decoration. It's inexpensive and always festive, perfect for a kid's birthday. Buy foil balloons in the shape of marine life. Or glue paper fins, tentacles, tails on ordinary balls;
  • if a children's party in a marine style takes place on a “ship”, hang anchors, helms and life buoys (cardboard, polystyrene and other improvised materials) around the hall. You can write birthday greetings on them, use them as attributes for photography. Portholes with pictures will add realism - print a round and any suitable pattern for the "window";
  • ropes and fishing nets decorated with starfish, shells, fish will fit in. Use blue, white, striped textiles to drape furniture. If this is an island, add green and yellow colors, hang cardboard tropical fruits, monkeys, parrots;

  • fill the jars with sand, plant artificial algae, throw in pebbles-shells. Decorate the outside of the jars (as if they had been lying on the sea floor for a long time). Run inside mechanical fish (toys for bathing);
  • organize a photo zone. There are many options for a sea party - a boat or a boat against the backdrop of waves, an island with a palm tree and marine attributes in the foreground, a captain's bridge. Thick cardboard + drawing or printout.

invitations

The original invitation to a sea party is an old message in a corked bottle covered with shells, algae and other decor. You can make different invitations for children in the form of bright marine life or fold a leaf with text into a boat. The text can be written on a lifebuoy or rolled up and hidden inside the shell.

Suits

Since the party is for children, the costumes must be comfortable. The easiest option for boys is jeans / dark trousers or shorts and a striped T-shirt, shirt, t-shirt.

For girls, cute dresses are sewn in the style of sailors. An ordinary blue or black skirt with a striped top is also suitable. You can sew blue / red stripes on a white dress - along the collar, hem and sleeves.

Marine accessories for such a suit are a guis and a light peakless cap. It is easy to decorate a dress, a T-shirt with an appliqué or sew on accessories - an anchor, a boat, etc. If the theme of the party is beach/island related, bring fins, goggles, and snorkels for photos.

In addition to traditional minke whales, a beautiful mermaid, a brave captain, a hooligan pirate, Neptune himself can attend a sea party. Or clown fish, jellyfish, crab and other inhabitants of the ocean depths. Just do not forget about the comfort of the baby! Alternatively, you can take a photo in a beautiful, but not very comfortable suit, and change clothes.

Menu, serving

For atmosphere, you can include fish and seafood in the menu, but only parents will be happy with them. And all the attention of children will surely be attracted by a candy bar in a marine style. To decorate it you will need:

  • background (sea, island, fish shells, etc.);
  • a tablecloth of a suitable color (sew on cardboard crabs, algae, corals or steering wheel anchors);
  • boxes with thematic pictures;
  • striped cupcake skirts;
  • cards for skewers and toothpicks;
  • dishes of a suitable color (white, blue, red, you can print and stick pictures on disposable plates-glasses);
  • thick paper boats, put sweets, dragees, crackers in them.

Some arrange menu dishes in a marine style. For example, simple forms for cookies - boats, fish, anchors, stars. It's easy to make shells out of hamburger buns. From thin slices of cheese, vegetables, fruits and toothpicks - sails.

Buy striped treats - marmalade, ice cream, marshmallows. Prepare striped jelly and popsicles (freeze in layers). Lay in layers in transparent containers of white and blue / red sweets.

To decorate sweets, buy mastic, fashion marine attributes and inhabitants. Use colored glaze, sprinkle. Do not forget drinks - juices, lemonades. And, of course, you can’t do without a real sea cake for a birthday - striped, in the shape of a ship, island or treasure chest.

Entertainment

We offer a script for a sea party that includes a quest (treasure hunt) and something like an exam, according to the results of which all children will become real sailors.

For each game or competition, children receive a fragment of an encrypted message. Having compiled all the fragments and deciphering the code, they will find out where the treasure lies. For example, if the treasure is under a palm tree (a cardboard palm, a box under it), the message will be: 12-13-1-5 * 17-16-5 * 17-1-13-30-14-16-11.

To decipher, you need a piece of paper with a numbered alphabet and a pen. Or use morse code, because the party is in a nautical style (just clearly separate the dots / dashes of each letter so that they do not merge into a solid line).

For preschoolers, just draw a palm tree (or where do you hide the treasure?) and cut it into several pieces (puzzle). Pieces of the message should be according to the number of contests.

Leading: Welcome aboard the Name, brave cabin boys! Today, after all the tests, you will become real sailors! Or are you afraid of difficulties?

Children: not afraid!

IN: OK then! Let's check if you have enough ingenuity, because a sailor cannot do without it!

Riddles on the marine theme

  • I'm not lying at the bottom of laziness, I keep the ship in place (anchor)
  • Sailors lift me up, a fair wind inflates (sail)
  • I burn for sailors in the distance, so that they can see where the end of the earth is (lighthouse)
  • He stands on his bridge, looks into the distance through binoculars (captain)
  • Who calls the kitchen a galley, prepares both borscht and compote? (cook)
  • The wind blows - we run on the water, in calm weather you will not see us anywhere (waves)
  • Who fell overboard? I don’t panic, I don’t scream, but after him I immediately fly (lifebuoy).

IN: Well done, yoongi! You deserve to be sailors. Here is the first fragment of the secret message. If you collect everything and solve the cipher, earn the title of real sailors! But before difficult trials, it doesn’t hurt to refresh yourself. Delicious break.

IN: Did you eat or drink? Then listen to my command! By the way, do you know the commands? Are you doing it carefully? After all, without this, there is no way on the ship. Need to check!

dance game

First, the host quickly shows how to act. Then the guys all together perform commands to cheerful music.

Do not forget to download suitable music for a sea party - songs from cartoons, about the sea, summer, etc. There are a lot of them, even if you choose only for children, there will be no problems with this.

To play, you need to stand in a circle. The facilitator stands in the center and, speaking commands, also carries them out (to help the children not get confused). Slowly at first, then the teams change faster and faster, randomly.

Raise the sail! - the guys raise their hands up

Core! - the guys sit down

Rudder left - everyone dances to the left

Rudder right - dance to the right

Feed - the circle expands

Nose - the circle narrows

Deck - children pretend to mop the floor

IN: Well done! For the precise execution of commands, you deserve the second fragment of the message. Do you know who the most dangerous enemy of sailors is? Yes, it's the pirates! Will you be able to protect your friends and your ship?

sea ​​battle

Silhouettes of pirate ships or figurines of pirates on the table in a row. You need to throw soft balls, knocking down targets. For example, 5 attempts each or until they have played enough.

IN: How sharp you are! It's not scary to go to sea with you! Well done! Hold the third fragment. Do you know what happens on the ship after a pirate attack? It's a mess, a terrible mess! And real sailors always keep order!

Dream deck

Lots of balloons, separating tape. The guys are divided into two teams: one cleans the starboard side, the other left. And the "garbage", until the captain sees it, must be thrown onto the neighboring side. Children throw balls for about three minutes, then the presenter evaluates which side has fewer balls (those are great).

Almost all children really like this simple competition, so you can repeat it three times (three rounds to determine the winning team) or just play longer.

IN: OK OK! I see that you do not have to take up energy - you can easily peel off the largest ship to a shine! Here is the fourth fragment for you, you deserve it. And by the way, it's time to refresh yourself! Pause.

IN: Yoongi, who will answer me why a mess should not be allowed on the ship? Do not know? And all because someone can trip over an abandoned thing and fall overboard! And then what to do? That's right, Vasenka, we must throw a lifeline. But not just anywhere, but as close as possible to the drowning man! Can you handle it?

Rescue of the drowning

A mop in a bucket, glue a cardboard face to the handle of the mop. Three cardboard lifebuoys. In turn, the guys throw them so that the circle is worn directly on the unfortunate "drowning man".

IN: Congratulations, yoongi! Here is the last fragment for you - put it all together and try to decipher the secret message. If you succeed, you will become real sailors!

The guys decipher the message, find the treasure. Gifts in a nautical style inside: a set of sweets, puzzles, coloring books or models of boats (for assembly) + a medal or cup with a commemorative inscription.

The cup can be made from cardboard in the shape of an anchor. You need to cut out two anchors (glue together) and two ovals for the stand. At the bottom of the anchors is an extra piece of cardboard - they must be bent in different directions and glued to the oval. And then glue the halves of the oval on top to hide the bends. Paint with gold paint, make an inscription. The stand can be gold or blue.

To immediately set the tone for the event, nautical style parties, start with the right thoughtful design. Sea party invitation should also be kept in the theme of the party. Depending on which style you have chosen, the invitation can be a ticket to a round-the-world cruise on a huge liner (white narrow envelope, expensive paper, gold embossing), a letter in a bottle (you can choose a small bottle of elite alcohol) or a chest with a map ( a small chest in the manner of a pirate can be purchased at the gift shop). You can simply send the guests a "black mark" (cardboard circle, black on one side, and on the other - indicating the time and place of the event).

The party venue itself also needs to be decorated accordingly. At the very entrance, several posters of different content should be placed, for example, “Give the mooring lines!”, “All aboard!” etc. By the way, if, in accordance with a pre-compiled scenario, the entire celebration takes place allegedly on the deck of a ship, the ceiling and all walls must be decorated with a certain number of fishing nets, in which images of all kinds of inhabitants of the sea abyss should be placed. You can also attach compasses, geographical maps and a ship's steering wheel. As an alternative, improvised portholes decorating the walls can act. In order to imitate the seashore, indoors, you can use the appropriate photo wallpaper or banners, tables with sun umbrellas, a few scattered beach balls. And as a decoration, use starfish, shells, various corals, colored oval and round stones. In addition, solid-sized glasses filled with water and sand, grass, glass balls, floating candles or even fish will also be appropriate! One of the ways to decorate a party can be a background recording of the sounds of the surf and the cries of seagulls.

The dress code for a sea party is very simple - everything that has to do with the sea! It can be: a vest and a peakless cap, a pirate costume, a fisherman or fisherwoman costume, a captain's tunic, a mermaid costume, a merman costume, a Neptune costume, just a swimsuit. You can come up with the bones yourself using, for example, fins, masks and snorkels.

You don't have to come up with a menu for a sea party for a long time. The basis of the menu is seafood! Prepare fish dishes, boil shrimp, cut salted fish. Alternatively, you can make or order sushi! Drink - rum, ale or dark beer!

Accordingly, at the sea party and contests should be in the same vein. Tug-of-war, fishing (artificial fish on a magnetic hook), competition for knowledge of marine terms, burime with the words of a marine theme, competition for the best sea walk, etc.

We hope that our tips will help you create a sea party. Good luck and seven feet under your keel!

The nautical theme is perfect for a children's party at home. Its versatility and variety will allow parents to organize an exciting children's party in a marine style that will appeal to children of all ages, both boys and girls.

The organization of children's holidays in a marine style depends on the mood and preferences of the hero of the occasion. You can choose one of the options: a sea voyage, a pirate party, the adventures of Nemo the fish, SpongeBob or the little mermaid Ariel.

Nautical style birthday invitations

The nautical theme should be visible in everything, even in invitations to a party for children. Paper invitations can be made in the form of a seahorse, a fish or a shell, and one of the best options is a collage invitation on a marine theme.

Decorating a holiday in a marine style

Having a nautical-themed birthday party is made easier by the fact that many of the room's décor elements can be handcrafted. For example, algae growing on the walls are long transverse strips of corrugated paper that need to be twisted a little and fixed at the top and bottom.

Also, stickers in the form of large and bright fish can become wall decorations. Lay a yellow material on the floor, where you place the wealth of the sea - shells and pebbles - and the bottom of the ocean is ready.

If real fish live in your home, the aquarium can be made the main decoration of the holiday. An equally original solution would be to imitate the atmosphere of a ship in a room where a holiday for children is held. Use flags of different countries, maps, compasses, steering wheel and other elements as decorations.


An interesting solution in the design of a children's holiday in a marine style will be a net with a catch - fish balloons. If the net is hung from the ceiling and the contents are released during the party, the children will be delighted and surprised at such a fun turn of events.

A table with treats for children also needs a marine design; it can be made in one scale, resorting to shades of blue, turquoise, white, light blue and purple. Arrange marine details on the table: figurines of the inhabitants of the depths, fake pearls, blue pebbles and shells.

Nautical themed party menu for kids

Decorating festive themed dishes is not difficult - to do this, beautifully combine pieces of vegetables and fruits, cook pasta in the form of shells with seafood. Make fish figures out of mastic, boats out of egg halves, bagels can turn into crabs, and sausages into octopuses.

If you pour cream between two round cookies and put a round candy in, you will get a shell. The blue jelly looks like a real aquarium. For modeling cakes, the marine theme of the holiday is very beneficial: the cake can be made in the form of a sea with ships on the waves, an underwater world with algae, mermaids and other fabulous inhabitants.


Entertainment at a children's holiday in a marine style

On a sea holiday, you can not do without themed entertainment for children. Hold a costume contest and choose a sea queen or king. Invite the children to play dress-up - let them transform into mermaids or fish that swim in the ocean.

A lot of fun and joy at a sea birthday party will be delivered by playing with a shark, the role of which can be played by one of the parents. At the beginning of the game, the shark is "sleeping" and the baby fish are swimming quietly around it. But when the sea predator wakes up, they should have time to hide inside the hoops.

Little guests will be happy to draw - arrange a master class on making T-shirts, on which children will depict fish and boats. Decorated T-shirts will remain as a memento of the children's holiday in a marine style.

1. Figurines of fish and starfish. The inhabitants of the underwater world will help you immediately set the right atmosphere. They can be hung on the walls or laid out on tables and shelves.

2. Ropes and fishing nets. It's great if there are fishermen in your family - you can borrow equipment to decorate the house for the holiday.

3. Triangular flags. The easiest way is to cut them yourself from colored paper. Both simple striped flags and pirate flags with a white skull on a black background are suitable for decorating a sea party.


Let's celebrate!

4. Paper boats. Everyone knows how to make this origami figurine since school. Arrange several of these boats on the table and shelves in the room.

5. Handwheels and anchors. Use the most recognizable parts of a sailing ship to “transport” aboard a ship. They can also be cut out of thick cardboard or wood.

6. Turntables-weathervanes. A little trick: if you put a fan near them, you can create the effect of a light breeze.


house design

7. Shells, multi-colored pebbles and sand. Not a single sea party is complete without these decor items. So get out all the souvenirs brought from trips to the sea - and go ahead, decorate the house!

Themed costumes

The choice of attire largely depends on the specific direction of the holiday. For example, if a party is planned on the seabed, then Neptune, the God of the sea element with a long beard and a trident, will be its undisputed king. Ladies, on the other hand, will be able to turn into charming little mermaids with sparkling pareo tails and flowers woven into their hair.


Let's celebrate!

Pirate costumes will look bright and unusual. To create a spectacular look, you can use vests, white shirts and vests, loose pants and, of course, a large number of jewelry. By the way, did you forget about the eye patch?


Holiday Workshop

Some will like the image of a brave Malibu lifeguard or the captain of a luxury yacht. The main thing is to show imagination.

To make your nautical-style party really bright and fun, you need to think over the entertainment program for guests in advance. It is desirable that all games are mobile and correspond to the theme of the holiday.

"Rescue of the drowning"

For this game you will need a life buoy (a regular gymnastic hoop will do). All guests are divided into teams of 5-6 people and take turns trying to throw a circle on a separately selected person.


Gooseberry-74

“We are not afraid of the storm”

Another fun game that can be included in the scenario of a sea party. Divide into two teams and line up opposite each other. The leader gives out a narrow rope or ribbon to the first in the line. The task of the captain is to “tie” all the members of his team by threading the tape through some part of the wardrobe (for example, a bracelet or a buttonhole).


school

sea ​​quiz

Calm, but at the same time a fun competition for a sea party. The essence is simple: the presenter calls some term from the lexicon of sailors, and the teams must decipher it. Great opportunity to learn a lot!

Marine playlist

When organizing a sea party, do not forget to find suitable music in advance. It is better if it is something incendiary and atmospheric. Soundtracks to “Pirates of the Caribbean” or songs from the good old cartoon “Treasure Island” are perfect.

Pirate menu

The basis of any party in a marine style is, of course,. It is better if it is something light, simple appetizing snacks:

  • salads with mussels, shrimps and crab sticks;
  • sandwiches with caviar, smoked herring, red fish;
  • tropical fruits on skewers.

Holiday Workshop

As the main festive dish, a large stuffed fish, such as mackerel, is perfect.


Holiday Workshop

All kinds of sweets are prepared in thematic colors, as well as using “marine” molds. On the table, cookies in the form of fish and starfish, sweets-“pebbles” will look great. And if you are planning a sea birthday party, you can decorate the cake with sweet shells or a small sailing boat.
