Play pinata the pirate way

Pinata is the perfect game for a Pirates of the Caribbean party; your party pirates won't be able to resist the treasures inside. Start with a themed Pirates of the Caribbean Pinata or a Pirate Ship Pinata. Then fill it with treats like Gold Coins, Laser Yo-Yos, Compass Rings, Gold Bead Necklaces and Kaleidoscope Keychains. Don't forget candy like Now and Laters or Kiddie Carnival Mix. Make sure everyone has a Pirates of the Caribbean Loot Bag, hand the first player a Pinata Blindfold and Pinata Bat and stand back!

They'll have a ball with Pirate Musical Chairs

Pirates love music, but they didn't have radio, iTunes or YouTube, so they'd entertain themselves by singing sea shanties and playing harmonicas and fiddles. Modern pirates will love playing the classic party game Musical Chairs to this Pirates of the Caribbean Swashbuckling Sea Songs CD. To play, line up enough chairs for all but one player back to back. Start the music and have the players do a jig around the chairs. When the music stops, everyone sits; the person left standing is out. Repeat, removing a chair each round, until one lucky pirate is left.

Chase adventure with the Pirate Party Game

In Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew go on an amazing adventure searching for the Fountain of Youth.

The game comes with a compass spinner and enough markers for four players.

Set up a Pirate Favor Bar!

Send Pirate favors home in unique containers

There's no other ship like the Black Pearl, and her crew is equally unique. Why not send your party guests home with favors as individual as they are? Party City carries favor containers that can't be found anywhere else. For a Pirates of the Caribbean party, we suggest a Favor Ball, Folding Favor Box or Favor Bucket in coordinating colors.
