Free Printable Pirate Activities, Maritime Lessons, Talk Like a Pirate Day, September 19
If your
children ask to wear a peg leg and carry a bottle of rum to school, don't be
alarmed. It's just International Talk Like a Pirate Day. But wait that's
not till September 19! Why would kids be celebrating now? Well, it could be
they're getting ready for the Michigan Pirate Festival in August. Or it could
just be that with school ending, they're looking for fun, pirate style. So why
wait till August or September for some pirate fun? Here are free printable pirate
crafts, pirate ship models, paper boats and pirate activities to kick off
summer.
So
if you were wondering there really is a Talk Like a Pirate Day. It was started in 1995 by Mark "Cap'n Slappy"
Summers and John "Ol' Chumbucket" Baur. Personally, this author
thinks it was just an excuse for two grown men to play dress up and entice
women to sport corsets.
At any rate, schools and many businesses get in on the fun. You can, too with free printable pirate crafts, games and toys. And side-stepping the less savory aspects of pirate lore, this article includes lesson plans on navigation, maritime and marine and nautical lesson plans, too. That way teachers and home-school parents can indulge their inner pirate and call it educational.
