One of my favorite units in preschool are preschool pirate theme activities. I usually find that my preschoolers enjoy it so much that it extends beyond the one week slot I set aside for any given theme.
I have many ideas that I have collected over the years. The children are a wonderful resource as well and often suggest clever ideas of their own.
Here is an idea one of my readers sent to me.
It is easy to put together and I guarantee your preschool kids will love it.
Table Pirate Ship
For a ship I have used (for Columbus day in the US) a table turned upside down.
If you want to put a flag up you can use a bit of clay or playdough at the bottom of one of the legs to stick a flag inside.
They walk on the bottoms of the tables and use their decorated papertowel tubes or a Pringles can to use as a telescope....Land HO!!!!
You can also make a jolly roger flag instead and you can drape streamers around the legs to enclose it on three sides if you want. It is just an alternative to looking for a big enough box. I found that it worked quite well.
If you like these preschool pirate theme activites, you'll love the other ideas in the Preschool Planner as well.
