Now that there is a box of treasure, doesn’t it seem like the next activity should be a treasure map? Imagining is a skill that needs exercise and gets better with practice and a pirate map uses lots of imagination. X is another letter of the alphabet so pirates need to practice the alphabet, too. Drawing is a third skill that all of us can enjoy. A pirate map uses these skills and more. Any big piece of paper will do, the more crumpled and ripped the better. What might be on a pirate map? Dragons, sea monsters, islands, fierce winds, big waves, bones, and ships. What else can you imagine? For a giant pirate map, try some chalk on the driveway. Speaking of maps…
why did the pirate cross the ocean? To get to the other tide!
