Press Gang– one Joey is the Pirate and he tags someone they become a pirate and can tag others to join the crew until everyone is tagged and a pirate!

 

Swab the decks– use a broom and a Fred and run down the hall, round the chair and back to the next person sweeping your Fred along.

Story– see below

Black-Beard the Pirate

 

·         PIRATES: Arrrgh! me hearties

·         TREASURE: Pretend to dig for treasure

·         BLACKBEARD: Yell  “meanest pirate there ever was” – make a mean face.

·         SEA/S: Rock back and forth (sea sick?) as if being blown about in a big storm.

·         SHIP: Climb the rigging.

·         FRIEND/S: Pretend to high five a friend. 

 

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, there was a young boy named John, who ran away to SEA. The boy stowed away on a PIRATE SHIP that belonged to BLACKBEARD the PIRATE.

BLACKBEARD was a very famous PIRATE. He was the meanest, nastiest, cruelest PIRATE that ever there was. BLACKBEARD had no idea that John had hidden away on his PIRATE SHIP.

BLACKBEARD, like all PIRATES was in search of PIRATE TREASURE – gold coins, jewellery, and precious stones, was what BLACKBEARD was searching for. BLACKBEARD sailed across the SEA to TREASURE Island.

BLACKBEARD had stolen a map of the island from a PIRATE FRIEND he had once met. BLACKBEARD was so mean that he would steal from anyone – even his PIRATE FRIENDS.

BLACKBEARD reached TREASURE Island and dropped anchor. BLACKBEARD heard a big noise – it sounded like all the dishes had fallen on the floor, but how could that have happened? BLACKBEARD made his way to the galley where he spotted John, trying to hide.

BLACKBEARD was furious. “What are you doing on my SHIP?” he yelled. John was scared. He was worried about what BLACKBEARD the PIRATE would do to him. “I’ll teach you, for trying to steal my TREASURE map”, BLACKBEARD said. “Time to walk the plank”.

John was shaking in his boots. He didn’t want to walk the plank. He couldn’t swim, and didn’t want to be eaten by the sharks that were circling the PIRATE SHIP. “Wait!”, said John. “I can help you find the TREASURE. I’m good at reading maps”.

BLACKBEARD could do with some help to dig up the TREASURE. “OK”, said BLACKBEARD. “First you help me find the TREASURE. Then you can walk the plank”.

It took BLACKBEARD and John many hours to locate the TREASURE. They talked about being PIRATES. John realised that BLACKBEARD really wasn’t that mean and nasty, he just pretended to be like that to scare off the other PIRATES.

BLACKBEARD enjoyed having John to talk to, and realised that it was good to have a FRIEND. BLACKBEARD and John helped each other to dig up the TREASURE.

BLACKBEARD gave his new FRIEND a PIRATE name, Long John Silver, and the two FRIENDS continued to sail the seven SEAS in search of more PIRATE TREASURE.

3, 2, 1, PING… use me for very very fast cooking!

You could roast chestnuts (or stowaways) over me outside at a campfire?

Climb the rigging up to the first den

I wonder if the Joeys NOTICE how BOARD pirates can get?

I wonder if pirates play CHAIR soccer? we would need lots of CHAIRS.

I wonder if girl pirates ever wash their hands?

I wonder if the scurvy scouts filled me up again after they lit the really big fire on Friday?
