--Cannon Ball Toss
This is a game for two players - it is similar to the egg toss, except that you use coconuts that are painted black. The object is to go farther and farther apart until there is only one team able to catch the cannonball. Yes, this game hurts if you=re drinking and your coordination is off.
--Pirate Obstacle Course
Pirates run a small obstacle course composed of a large cargo net spread horizontally across the ground (they climb on their backs across the ground up it), crawl through a whiskey barrel, pour a pitcher of rum (tea or colored water) into four tankards to the brim and carry them on a tray, walk the plank (teeter totter style) with the tray, run to the end of the course, dump the rum into another pitcher (up to a marked line) and then run back again at a full tilt to the start to tag off by ringing the ship=s bell. This is a team event - tag style. First team to finish wins a bottle of real rum!
--Treasure Hunt
Write cryptic clues and hide them throughout the property (the more land the better). If near water, put some clues in bottles tied off to land with ropes. Hang them from trees, under rocks, in nooks and crannies. One clue leads to the other. Teams divide into ship crews and cast off at the firing of the pistol. First team to solve all the clues and make it back to ring the bell wins the treasure chest of goodies.
--Open the Treasure Chest
We do this one with the kids a lot. We let kids select a key from our tankard and then they get a shot at opening the chest. Some kids get a key that works, others get non-opening keys. Inside can be trinkets from Oriental Trading Company or pirate goodies. We usually give beads and eye patches to the kids who lose as a consolation prize
