International Talk Like a Pirate Day is on 19 September 2015.
Here are some ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ ideas for your classroom:
- Teach the pirate language basics for your students to use in their writing and speech on this day.
- Have the students organise a treasure hunt in the school and construct treasure maps.
- Cook pirate food such as hardtack biscuits.
- Discuss healthy eating. Explore how a poor diet, while on long voyages, caused health problems such as scurvy.
- 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.
