“Yo-ho-ho! We have your gif.webpts! We have hidden the chest safely, try to find it! Although, okay, we're kind today. Let's give the treasure for coins. But first, you need to reincarnate as pirates and demonstrate your physical skills. "
Adults help children to tie bandanas and put on costumes, apply face painting to their faces. If the weather is warm outside, you can go to the sports complex so that the young pirates show what they are capable of: children hang on rings, horizontal bars, climb tunnels. When they return to the apartment, a bottle is waiting for them, in which there is a Treasure Map. A pirate appears (adults will be happy to transform into cheerful sea robbers).
Pirate:
To get a coin, you need to solve my riddle.
They lie at the bottom of the sea,
They beckon with their beauty.
From them mermaids weave necklaces,
They surprise everyone with a beautiful decoration.
And in large copies you will hear
The magic noise of sea water.

When the children have collected all the letters, the word "Doll" will be obtained. Participants go in search of a doll, find an interior doll, in whose hands a note:

After completing each task, Jack Sparrow gives a piece of the card to the team captain.
Tasks for the quest "Pirates of the Caribbean":
- Jack Sparrow offers to sail on the Black Pearl ship. To do this, you need to raise the sails. The children go to the veranda and unroll the roller blinds, from which a note with a code falls out. Jack Sparrow says that the key to the cipher is held by a spider that lives in the garden. The children run into the garden, where they find a toy spider lying on an envelope with a cipher key. Each letter corresponds to a certain picture. Children cope with a mysterious message and receive a hint: "Find a big colored fish".
Example cipher
- Make a fish out of fabric or paper in advance and hang it on the veranda or in the gazebo. Participants find a fish with colored cardboard circles (caviar) in its pocket. Each circle has several letters written on it. When the children collect all the circles and arrange them, a hint will turn out: "Dance the dance".
Jack Sparrow:
Pirates are very funny people, they love to sing and dance. Please old man Jack with a fun dance!
- Music turns on, children jump and dance. After that, Jack Sparrow invites the participants to sit in a circle and guess the names of marine life. He shows pictures, and the children have to guess who he is showing.
- For the next task, cut fruits are brought out on the table. Participants are blindfolded and treated with fruit, and they must name what they eat. On an empty plate, the children find a letter: "A sea monster with two heads, four arms and legs, must find a message high in the sky.".
- There are balloons tied to the ceiling in the room. To get them, the child sits on the adult's neck and bursts the ball. When all the balls burst, puzzle pieces will appear on the floor. Children assemble a picture of ice and penguins.
- Participants need to guess that the next message is in the refrigerator. Freeze the note file in advance to make it harder for children to reach. Jack Sparrow comes to the rescue with a jug of hot water. The note says: "Pirates must be strong and courageous, so now let's check how prepared you are for sea adventures.".
- Everyone goes to the garden, where large pins are placed in two rows on the path (you can use plastic bottles). Each participant must run between the pins and not hit them.
Jack Sparrow:
Another challenge for agility and courage. You need to go through the maze to get a piece of the map.
- Pull ribbons with bells between trees or buildings. Children should pass between the ribbons without touching them. If the bell rang, the competitor is eliminated.
Jack Sparrow:
You have already collected almost the entire map. Let's press it guys! Before us is a terrible swamp, but along the bumps you can get to the other side.
- Lay out colored coasters or sheets of paper with numbers, pressing them down with pebbles. Each participant must jump over the "bumps", advancing in order: 1, 2, 3, etc.
Jack Sparrow:
Seafarers must be able to keep their balance so that they are not swept overboard during a storm. The next task: I timed the time, and you have to stand on one leg. Great, well done! Now let's check how close-knit you are. To the right on board is a huge whale! (all participants must run to the right). On the left is a terrible shark! (everyone runs to the left). We raise the anchor! (children show that they are raising a heavy anchor). The enemy ship is shooting, bullets are flying overhead! (children squat down). It remains to get the last piece of the map, and we are there! Look, the terrible sea monster overboard! Let's shoot it, otherwise it will ram our ship.
- Hang the image of the sea monster on the wall and give the children water pistols. A real battle of water begins!
Jack Sparrow:
Well, team captain, carry all the scraps of the map.
Children collect pieces of the map and use it to go to the place where the treasure is hidden. At the dacha, a chest with gif.webpts can be hidden in a utility room, a gazebo, a hollow of a tree. Prepare personalized gif.webpts for each child in advance.
