Marine theme for children's birthday. Set a festive mood. What to wear for a birthday in a nautical style
Relaxing on the beach, on board a ship, on a desert island or in the amazing underwater world? Sea Party is a large selection of colorful themes for a child's birthday. Funny contests and bright decorations will give children a lot of positive emotions!
Registration
Decide if you should stick with one topic, or you can combine them all with an emphasis on the main idea. By and large, there is no difference, because this is a children's party, not a wedding or social reception. We offer design options for any theme within the framework 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 rounds (water bubbles), stars, crabs, fish - vertically, on a transparent fishing line. The voluminous decorations in the marine style are very beautiful - algae, octopuses, jellyfish;
- use balloons in decoration... It's inexpensive and always festive, perfect for a children'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 nautical style is held on a "ship", hang anchors, steering wheels and lifebuoys (cardboard, foam and other handy materials) around the hall. You can write birthday greetings on them, use them as attributes for photography. Portholes with pictures will add realism - print the round and any suitable drawing for the "window";
- ropes and fishing nets decorated with starfish, shells, fish will fit in... Use blue, white, striped textiles to drape your furniture. If it's an island, add green and yellow colors, hang cardboard tropical fruits, monkeys, parrots;
- pour sand into the jars, plant artificial algae, sketch out pebbles-shells... Decorate the outside of the jars (as if they have been on the seabed for a long time). Run mechanical fish (bathing toys) inside;
- organize a photo zone... There are many options for a sea party - a boat or boat against the background of waves, an island with a palm tree and marine attributes in the foreground, the captain's bridge. Thick cardboard + drawing or printout.
Invitation
An original invitation to a sea party - an old message in a sealed bottle covered with seashells, seaweed 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.
Costumes
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, they sew cute dresses in the style of sailors. A regular blue or black skirt with a striped top will do. You can sew blue / red stripes on a white dress - along the collar, hem and sleeves.
Marine accessories for such a suit are jackets and a light peakless cap. It is easy to decorate a dress, a T-shirt with an applique or sew on accessories - an anchor, a boat, etc. If the theme of the party is related to the beach / island, bring fins, goggles and snorkels - useful for the photo.
In addition to traditional minke whales, a beautiful mermaid, a brave captain, a hooligan pirate, and Neptune himself can attend the sea party. Or clownfish, jellyfish, crab and other inhabitants of the ocean depths. Just don't forget about the baby's comfort! Alternatively, you can take a photo in a beautiful, but not very comfortable suit, and change.
Menu, serving
For the atmosphere, you can include fish and seafood in the menu, but only the parents will be delighted. And all the attention of children will surely be attracted by the nautical-style candy bar. To decorate it you will need:
- background (sea, island, fish shells, etc.);
- a tablecloth of a suitable color (sew on cardboard crabs, seaweed, coral or anchors-steering wheels);
- boxes with themed pictures;
- striped cupcake skirts;
- cards for skewers and toothpicks;
- dishes of a suitable color (white, blue, red, you can print and glue pictures on disposable cups);
- boats made of thick paper, put candies, dragees, crackers in them.
Some arrange menu dishes in a nautical style... For example, simple forms for cookies - boats, fish, anchors, stars. Hamburger buns are easy to make shells. Sails are made from thin slices of cheese, vegetables, fruits and toothpicks.
Buy striped treats - marmalade, ice cream, marshmallows. Make striped jelly and popsicles (freeze in layers). Layer white and blue / red sweets in transparent containers.
To decorate sweets, buy mastic, sculpt marine attributes and inhabitants. Use colored glaze, sprinkles. Don't forget drinks - juices, soft drinks. And, of course, for your birthday you cannot do without a real sea cake - striped, in the shape of a ship, island or treasure chest.
Entertainment
We offer a scenario of a sea party, including 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 decrypting the code, they will find out where the treasure lies. For example, if the treasure is under a palm tree (cardboard palm, a box under it), the message will contain: 12-13-1-5 * 17-16-5 * 17-1-13-30-14-16-11.
For decryption, you need a piece of paper with a numbered alphabet and a pen. Or use Morse code, because it's a nautical party (just separate the dots / dashes of each letter clearly so they don't merge into a solid line).
For preschoolers, just draw a palm tree (or where will you hide the treasure?) And cut it into several pieces (puzzle). Pieces of the message should be for the number of contests.
Leading: Welcome aboard the Title, brave cabin boys! Today, after all the tests, you will become real sailors! Or are you afraid of difficulties?
Children: we are not afraid!
V: 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 lazy at the bottom, I keep the ship in place (anchor)
- The sailors lift me up, the fair wind blows (sail)
- I burn for sailors in the distance, so that they can see where the end of the earth is (lighthouse)
- 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 will blow - 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 shout, but after him I immediately fly (lifebuoy).
V: Well done, cabin boy! You deserve to be sailors. Here is the first piece of the secret message. If you collect everything and solve the code, earn the title of real sailors! But before difficult tests, it will not hurt to refresh yourself. Delicious break.
V: Did you eat and drink? Then listen to my command! By the way, do you know the teams? Do you follow it carefully? After all, without this there is no way on the ship. Need to check!
Dance game
First, the presenter quickly shows how to proceed. 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 children, there will be no problems with this.
To play, you need to stand in a circle. The facilitator stands in the center and, while speaking commands, also executes them (to help the children not to get confused). Slowly at first, then teams change faster and faster, randomly.
Set sail! - guys raise their hands up
Core! - guys squat
Left rudder - everyone dances to the left
Right rudder - dance to the right
Poop - the circle expands
Nose - the circle narrows
Deck - children pretend to mop the floor
V: 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! Can you protect your friends and your ship?
Sea battle
Silhouettes of pirate ships or figurines of pirates on a table in a row. You need to throw soft balls, knocking down targets. For example, 5 attempts each or until they play enough.
V: What are you apt! It's not scary to go out to sea with you! Well done! Keep the third snippet. Do you know what happens on the ship after the pirate attack? A mess is going on, a terrible mess! And real sailors always keep order!
Draim deck
Lots of balloons, separating tape. The guys are divided into two teams: one removes the starboard side, the other the left one. And "garbage", while the captain does not see, must be thrown onto the next board. Children throw balls for about three minutes, then the presenter assesses on whose side there are fewer balls (those are good fellows).
Almost all children really like this simple competition, so you can repeat it three times (three rounds to identify the winning team) or just play a little longer.
V: OK OK! I see you don't need energy - you can easily clean the largest ship to shine! Here is the fourth fragment, deserved. And by the way, it's time to eat! Pause.
V Yoongi, who's going to tell me why the ship shouldn't be a mess? Do not know? And all because someone can trip over the thrown thing and fall overboard! And then what to do? That's right, Vassenka, you need to throw your life preserver. But not just where, but as close as possible to the drowning man! Can you handle it?
Rescue of the drowning
Mop in a bucket, glue a cardboard face to the mop handle. Three cardboard life buoys. In turn, the guys throw them so that the circle fits right on the unfortunate "drowning man".
V: Congratulations, yoongi! Here's the last snippet 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. Inside there are gifts in a nautical style: a set of sweets, puzzles, coloring pages or models of boats (for assembly) + a medal or a cup with a commemorative inscription.
The cup can be made of cardboard in the shape of an anchor. You need to cut 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 folds. Paint with gold paint, make an inscription. The stand can be gold or blue.
Competitions for a children's party in a marine style
At the sea birthday for the little ones, a simple game "Water-land" will have fun: a circle-island is drawn on the floor, inside it - land, outside - water. Children stand inside the circle on the land, and then carry out the commands of the presenter, who pronounces either "Water!", Then "Dry land!" At the same time, children jump out of the circle, then jump again. The facilitator can constantly confuse them by repeating the same command.
For older children, you can organize a game-winder "Raising the anchor". A long rope is taken, to which a cardboard anchor is attached exactly in the middle. Pencils or sticks are tied to the ends of the rope. Two children participate: each takes one edge of the rope in his hands and, at the command of the leader, begins to wind it around a pencil. Whose pencil touches the anchor faster, he wins.
Game: "Shark. Day Night"
During the day, the Shark sleeps. At night he goes hunting. The star says: "Day", everyone is swimming. The star says: "Night", everyone freezes. Those who move are taken prisoner by the Shark. The prisoner misses the game. You can change the Shark during the game.
Game: "Sea Words"
It is necessary to name 10 or more words associated with the sea.

In advance, children do not see objects. The player is put on a mask, one of the objects is placed on the floor and offered to find and guess.

how to decorate a room in a nautical style
You can make a composition symbolizing the ship. If there is no way to more seriously prepare for the celebration in a similar spirit, then you can get by with the pictures drawn on whatman paper. Rooms (if the birthday in a nautical style is held in an apartment or house) can be named: galley, latrine, wardroom, and so on.

invitation in nautical style
What to wear for a birthday in a nautical style
The announcement of a competition for the most interesting "sea" outfit will help to organize the correct appearance of the guests. Vests and peakless caps, captain's tunics, pirate cocked hats, earrings in the ears and parrots on the shoulders are welcome. You can purchase several attributes of nautical vestments in order to support those who could not pay close attention to the outfit: ties, peakless caps, vests and a pair of eye patches - no one will be left out of the theme.
Holiday script
Prepare small souvenirs in order to encourage the participants of the sea party: small boats, small paintings on the marine theme.
After the guests gather, it is necessary to estimate their number: 6 or more people can be divided into two teams, less than six - one close-knit team can go on adventures.
Warm up
To warm up, you need to sanctify a little some interesting facts from the life of navigation and piracy, tell them to the sound of the surf:
The sea has always attracted a person who tends to be a romantic, with its endless expanses. Seafaring originated so long ago that today no one knows for sure a specific year or even a century.
Did you know:
- That the blindfold was worn by sailors and pirates for a reason. When descending from the light deck into the hold, it takes a long time for the eyes to adapt to the dark, and in a naval battle situation, every second can cost the crew and the ship. Therefore, by opening the eye in the dark hold, which was previously in the dark, the sailor could quickly orient himself in the surrounding environment.
- That the Yo-ho-ho exclamation was not the laughter of pirates, it was used by English sailors when it was required to jointly make efforts to any business. By analogy with the Russian one-two-took.
- In the 17th and 18th centuries in England there was a position of the royal opener of ocean bottles with letters. Opening bottles to others was prohibited under the threat of death.
- A large gold earring in the sailor's ear meant that he passed Cape Horn and survived, this cape was famous for restless waters and constant storms. Such a sailor had the right to pass one glass of alcohol for free and even put his feet on the table.
- There is a very interesting Sable Island in the Atlantic Ocean. Its length is only 42 kilometers, and the coastal zone is quicksand. The island was formed as a result of the meeting of the cold Labrador Current and the Gulf Stream. Stranded off the island caused the death of more than 350 ships.
interesting facts from the life of sailors
Competition number 1
After such an introduction, it is necessary to let the children warm up. Organize a mobile competition. Tug-of-war can be suggested if the team is divided into teams or a walk on a narrow survival board (slightly raised above the floor) if there are few participants.
Quiz
Prepare small emoticons to encourage correct answers to the following questions (one emoticon for each correct answer):
- What kind of marine life do you know (sharks, whales, octopuses, jellyfish, starfish, etc.).
- What can you find when traveling across the seas and oceans (continents, islands, reefs, etc.).
- What is the name of the captain of the Black Pearl (Jack Sparrow).

"Sea battle"
This kids sea party competition will give the participants a lot of fun. Build barricades from available tools (for example, from chairs), hand out ammunition (these can be small balls, cotton balls the size of a ball for sandals, and other items). Each team has its own territory, which must be protected from "bombs" and its own "shelter". After a minute skirmish, sum up the results of the battle: on whose territory there will be more ammunition - she lost. Do not forget to reward the winners with an emoticon.
Competition No. 3
"Obstacle course"
Arrange for the kids a relay race with overcoming obstacles, because every sailor should be ready for adventure and be able to make every effort to deal with troubles.
The obstacle course can contain: 3 pins, which you need to run around with a snake, one crossbar, under which you need to crawl, another - over which you need to jump, then you can put a hoop that you need to run around and return to the starting position, passing the baton to the next participant.

It is convenient to take and eat fish sticks without bones with your hands, children will definitely appreciate it. You can decorate the perimeter of the plate with lettuce leaves, which must be cut into long strips to resemble seaweed.

Color selection
This question cannot be answered in a nutshell, so let's understand it in detail. The design should start with the choice of color.
ATTENTION! When decorating a party in a nautical style, you can safely use textile drapery on walls, windows and doors. For an outdoor marine themed party, clip the fabric between two trees.
Interior decoration
To decorate the sail, take a light white fabric, for example, organza or chiffon, the latter option is somewhat more expensive than the first. White and pale blue shades are perfect for the sky and clouds.
Use twine, burlap, and fishing nets to style your ship. Fasten the entire material in the form of waves, without pulling too much to create the effect of the sea. A fishing net looks great over a blue organza.
When arranging a sea party with your own hands, do not forget about the little things. Things like seashells, starfish, pebbles, gulls and crabs should be in abundance. You can get a treasure box, but it's better to hide it for contests.

Snacks such as chips, dry fish, squid and rusks can be served in paper boats.
Desserts will look beautiful in halves of pineapple, coconut and other tropical fruits.
ATTENTION! When decorating a table, it is worth observing the general idea of the interior. It will not be very beautiful if you put a strictly served table with starched tablecloths in a cool decor.
For light snacks, it is worth considering options for sandwiches with sea fish, various seafood and caviar. On the table, in addition to fish, meat dishes should also be present, because not everyone prefers seafood. As a baking, the option of crumbly cookies in the form of stars or shells is suitable.
Drinks are worth buying based on the wishes of the guests. For the entourage, you can buy a couple of bottles of real rum, liqueur and tequila. A birthday cake in the shape of a steering wheel or a ship will serve as a delicious end to the banquet.
