Half an hour, 21 5-6 year olds dressed as pirates - ideas please!

[MrsFogi]

I have half an hour from dd's party start time and the beginning of the entertainment can anyone suggest what I can do to keep everyone amused as everyone arrives until the entertainment begins? All of them are 5-6 year olds and will be "pirates" but it doesn't necessarily have to be pirate themed.

Singing sea shanties?
Yellow Moon generally good for craft activities.

Don't suppose you cuold get them to swab the decks afterwards instead

Feed them?

Or a game like pass the parcel, pin the eye patch on the pirate (blind folded), get them doing a pirate themed craft/can double up as present to take home.
