Talk like a pirate day classroom activities

Ahoy mateys! International Talk Like a Pirate Day is on 19 September 2019. Here are some ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ ideas for your classroom:

  1. Teach the pirate language basics for your students to use in their writing and speech on this day.
  2. Have the students organise a treasure hunt in the school and construct treasure maps.
  3. Cook pirate food such as hardtack biscuits.
  4. Discuss healthy eating. Explore how a poor diet, while on long voyages, caused health problems such as scurvy.
  5. Play ‘Walk the plank’. The aim of the game is to guess an unknown word. Place a cardboard ‘plank’ on the ground. Draw dashes on the board to represent each letter in the unknown word. Every time the player guesses a letter correctly write it in. Each time the player guesses incorrectly they take a step along the plank. The game finishes when either the word is guessed or the player walks off the end of the plank.

 

In preparation for Talk like a pirate day, this week's freebie booty be a pirate hat template and a play script for yer students to perform!

Yer little sandcrabs will have lots 'o fun makin' their own hat, fit for a ship's cap'n.
