This Pirate Party game is a variation on Captain Says. The room (needs to be a hall) becomes a ship, the front end is bow, the rear is the stern, port is the left side and the other starboard. The leader shouts locations and the children all have to run to the right place.

Pirates

Coins

Game Description: Pirates is a fantastic game to practice dribbling and control in basketball. All players dribble a basketball around the playing area, while 3 pirates without a ball go around and try to steal the ball from a player. If a pirate manages to steal a ball, then the player who is left without a ball is now one of the 3 pirates. The game that I had the students play was called Magic Carpet, but to fit the theme we played Magic Pirate Ship. I told the students that the gym floor was our Pirate ship and that I was going to be the captain. The game is like follow the leader and I was the leader. I also explained that on the floor there was hula hoops, and poly spots.

Jolly Roger

Need: 1 piece of drawing paper, 1 sheet of red, white, or black construction paper, 3 pieces of felt ( red, white, black), a stick.

Design a pirate flag that tells something about you. Pick something you are interested in or good at to include on your pirate flag. For example: if you like the guitar include guitars on your pirate flag instead of crossbows. Also include on your flag pirate symbols: skulls, skeletons, crossbones, cutlasses, hourglasses.First draw your design on the drawing paper. Then cut your design out of felt and glue onto construction paper. After your pirates flag is dry tape it to a stick.

Compass

Make A Compass

Need: 1 clear plastic cup, pencil, bar magnet, thread, needle or small nail, cork, water.

Note: Review with the children compass directions.

Stroke one end of the magnet along the needle, about 30 times in the same direction. Test to see if the needle (or nail) has become magnetized by picking up pin. Cup Compass: Tie one end of a piece of thread to the center of your magnetized needle. Tie the other end of the thread to a pence. Place the pencil on the rim of the cup with the needle hanging down into the cup. Place the completed compass on a table.

Once the needle comes to rest the thickest end of the needle will point north. Move the cup compass to other areas on the table and watch the needle come to rest and point north. Cork & Cup Compass: After magnetizing the needle (or nail) press the needle through a length of cork until the cork is centered on the needle. Fill the plastic up with water. Place the cork with needle in the cup of water. As the needle floats and the comes to rest the thickest end of the needle will point north.

Compass Rose

A compass rose is a figure on a chart, compass, or map that shows the directions. Most show the cardinal directions: North, South, East, and West.

Have children make their own compass roses, being sure to put the N, E, S, and W in the correct places. Start with a circle. Use a ruler to draw lines to add cardinal direction points. The standard abbreviations are:N=North, S=South, E=East, W=West.

Poems

Compass Guide Poem
Printable version in above 'Compass' section

How do we know
Which way to go?
Look at the magnet
and it will show.

North, south, east or west,
For finding directions it is the best.

How does it work?
It’s as simple as can be.
The planet’s biggest magnet is itself, you see.

The biggest, and strongest magnet of all.
Compared to it, all others are quite small.

Because of its size, its pull is so strong
that all other magnets are pulled along.
Try as they might, for all that they’re worth,
Magnets can’t help but point toward north.

So the next time you’re lost
without a clue,
Let a magnet find your way
to rescue you.

Roger, The Jolly Pirate
by Brett Helquist

Jolly Roger was a lousy pirate. Whenever there was any real pirating to be done, the other pirates scowled and sent him away.

Jolly Roger often wished he could think of something that would make the other pirates like him. Then one day, in the middle of a great battle, Jolly Roger had a wonderful idea...and pirate ships would never be the same again! In recognition of his feat, his shipmates stitch up a flag that has gone down in history as the 'Jolly Roger.'
