Hi everyone,

I have been asked to take a group of mums dads and beaver scouts ans do some balloons modelling with them on the theme of Pirates...

I am totally stuck ... head has gone blank and Getting worried as its next week....ARGHHHH.....

The models must be fairly simple as they all have to make them , Obviously the kids will have at least one parents help....

All ideas and help is gratefully received.

Many thanks

Stuart

Just put in pirate in the search button above, there are plenty more

here is a pirate i made a few years back.. a fairly easy and quick design.

Hi Stuart,
I've done twisting workshops with kids & parents.
Keep it really simple.

A sword, a pirate hat, maybe a sword belt.

What about a hook? Parrot?

a ride in ship - but v. simple?

good luck!

Danny

Thanks guys and girls...

After many sleepless nights I decided to do a hat , sword , "pop" gun , and maybe a parrot....

In Fact what I ended up doing was the following..

I made a maze from balloons and got the mums , dads and kids to follow the instructions to the treasure, This was followed by them having 25 balloons each and making a pirate ship they could all ( groups of 10) fit into.

We then made a sword each and had them sail thier boat down a line and try and kill each other with thier swords... a bit like jousting.

So many laughs that at one stage we had a couple of adults and kids in tears from laughing so much...

If you want to know more then please ask and I will go through stage by stage ...

Thanks again

Stuart

Stuart did you get any pictures?

When I have copied them from the camera I will post them... Do I need to do anything special to post them here ?
