Default Pirate Talk

I loved the pirate topic just as much as the children did

We made a boat using an old water tray and cardboard, blue crepe paper for the water, skull and crossbones flag, telescopes made out of cardboard tubes, pirate hats, patches etc.Then used role play to initate a writing activity for the children. Our boat sank and we had to swim to an "island" where we wrote messages in bottle (on prepared teastained paper). The children really enjoyed it especially throwing their messages back into the water.

We also had a treasure hunt with clues I had prepared. A real sight seeing my class tearing around the playground in pirate outfits saying "AHHHHHH" and various other pirate words. Here is a list of some of the pirate words we talked about and used. On occassion I still get "ahoy cap'n" when I do the register. LOL
ahoy
Blimey!
bucko
Cap’n
shanty
cutlass
Doubloon
Gangway!
Fair winds
Landlubber
Jolly roger
Me hearties
Matey
poop deck
Shiver me timbers!
Spyglass
Swab the deck
Weigh anchor
Yo-ho-ho

Can't wait to do this topic again. Thanks Miss Muffet for some great ideas I hadn't thought of!
