Let's Play!
Determine your area where children may hide the treasure and set-up the "pirate ship" - can be any area you designate as such.
Then choose:
One child: Hider: hides the treasure
Other two or more children : pirates
-
The "pirates" close their eyes on their "pirate ship" while the hider hides the treasure. **Younger children may need a scarf to cover their eyes so they do not peek!
-
When the hider is done, they come back to the pirate ship and say "Arrr time to search for treasure!"
-
The pirates then run around looking for the treasure. Whoever finds it first wins! They become the hider next.
-
Play as many times as desired!
