Cannonballs Away Pirate Game

by Dorothy R.
(Greeley, CO)

Make two large pirate ships out of two refrigerator or sofa boxes (you can go to your nearest furniture store to find some). Divide the kids into two groups and put each team in their box. Give the first team two dozen ping-pong balls (you can paint them black as if they were cannon balls) and see how many "cannon balls" they can toss into the other teams "ship" to try and sink it. Team two can catch the "bombs" and toss back into the first team's ship, but they cannot pick "bombs" up off of the floor. After team one has used their two dozen balls, give team two a try, then count the bombs to see which team's ship was sunken.

We played this at our son's party, and to change it up a bit, we had the kids throw the balls across each others path, (criss cross). They laughed at how many times it actually hit in the middle. Lots of fun!

not just for the kiddies

This is a great game for an adult pirate party too.
Boxes may not big enough for more than a crew of two, but it makes a fun game with one trying to catch while the other throws. Both teams can play at the same time making it much more fun and a great spectator game.
