Ships Ahoy Pirate Game
by Catherine
(New Zealand)
One person is the Captain who calls instructions and the children have to follow. Start with a few instructions and add more on as the children get to know the rules.
Set up a good sized area and label port, starboard, stern, bow. When the sides of the ship is called the children run to that side.
Other calls include:
Captain aboard - stand to attention
Scrub the deck - squat and scrub deck
Hoist the sail - pull from above head to feet
Climb the ladder - pretend to climb ladder
Pull the anchor - pull side to side
Dig for treasure - action of digging
Sharks - have to run to any side of boat.
Man the row boats - get in line of 2-4 and row
Land Ahoy - look for land
Seagulls - run and flap wings
For fun and plenty of laughs, change the speed to which you give the calls.
If you want, you can send children into exile if they don't follow the instructions.
