Favorite Things Friday: Pirate Party

Today is Talk-Like-A-Pirate Day!

And who wouldn't like to celebrate with a day of all things Pirate?

Here are some of our ideas to help get your pARRRRRty started!

Add a little Pirate to your wardrobe:

Wear an eye patch. (Though probably not a school. Is that against some code?)

Red and white stripes always seem to scream PIRRAAAATTEEE!!

Gold jewelry. (But don't plunder it from someone else, K?)

Put a parrot on your shoulder. Who wouldn't like someone yakking in their ear all day.

Watch a Pirate movie:

Hook (PG)

Peter Pan (G)

The Goonies (PG) 

(Check with parents first...I think this has some swearing? I can't remember.)

Muppet Treasure Island (G)

Treasure Planet (PG)

The Pirate Fairy (G)

Peter Pan - the real person one (PG)

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (PG-13)

(Check with the parentals about this one too since it is PG-13)

Play a Pirate game:

"Walk the Plank" by visiting a local pool with a diving board.

Go on a "Treasure Hunt" by doing a fun scavenger for random items.

See who can talk like a Pirate for the longest amount of time.

"Hit the Deck" by playing some fun card games with friends or family.

Have a "Sword Fight" by using foam pool noodles.
