Program
If presenting this program on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, it is important that you talk like a pirate though the program and encourage your guests to do the same. As the guests arrive, hand out pirate name tag for them. I created my own list of silly pirate names:Barbarossa
Dread Pirate Roberts
Calico John Sweeney
First-mate Casey Calderon
Captain Morgan O'Toole
Davey Jones
Poop-deck Petey Hayes
Madame Mary McDuffie
Sea-legs Sally O'Connell
Landlubbin' Laura Daly
Starboard Stu O'Malley
Rainbow Beard Ronda
Scurvy Stephanie Collins
Fuzzy Fred Moore
Sir Patchy Pants
Poisonous Patsy
Captain Jack Sparrow
Mad Eye McDougal
Black Beard
Jolly Roger
Rowdy Rudy O'Reilly
Harvey Peg-leg Hullihan
Grumpy George Turner
One-eyes Bobby O'Shay
Red Patch Polly
As the kids receive their names, they compare and laugh, and it gets them ready to have fun in the program.
Hand out a citrus snack to prevent scurvy and dive into your books. I like introducing some fun poetry into story times to keep children open to this literature form.
Here I have three different crafts, and your time and the patience level will determine how many you can do.
Use the toilet paper rolls, feathers, orange foam, and crayons to make a parrot friend.
With a red solo cup, and some aluminum foil, create a pirate hook. Simply cut a hole in the bottom of the cup and feed a rolled strip of foil through the hole. then bend the foil into the shape of a hook.
