First we will dress like pirates with eyepatches, temporary tattoos, and bandanas. Next we will create our very own pirate flags, just like the real pirates used to. After this we will engage in a few pirate games including relay races and team building activities. Followed by learning real life navigational skills with compasses to locate and uncover my buried treasure!
