Pirates Activities, Ideas, Games, Printables, and Pirates Books Suggestions

Pirates are a great topic for children of all age groups. They can become pirates, learn how to speak like a pirate and use such words as "Arrrrgh!" Children have fun learning and pretending to be pirates and go for a treasure hunt.

We're Going on a Treasure Hunt
"Bury" a treasure outside or in another classroom. Create a map showing the location of the treasure. Have children dress up in their pirate gear and then have them follow the map to the buried treasure.

Aye Spy!
Hide some pirate items (eyepatch, pirate hat, pirate flag, parrot, pirate ship, treasure chest, etc., in your classroom or outside yard. Give a description of items the children need to find. Choose two children to go and find the item and bring it back to the circle. When all items are found, play a game of "What's missing." Let children cover their eyes and remove one item. What's missing?

Walk the Plank
Place a wooden plank or beam on the floor (or use masking tape to create a beam on the floor). Let children walk on the balance beam and at the end, jump in to the water. Ask, "Can you walk backwards, hop on one leg, tip toe, etc., over the plank?"

Pirate Sensory Table

Treasure Hunt 
Hide treasure in your sand table, such as necklaces, gold coins, jems, glass beads, etc. Provide small shovels and spoons and a treasure chest. Let children dig for treasures and place them in the treasure box.

Let children share their treasure map with the group and describe the way to their treasure.
