When completing our 'under the sea theme' we decided to become pirates for the day. We made our own pirates hats and got ready for a pirate treasure hunt! Once we had our pirates on we found a clue sitting on the teacher's chair. 

A copy of the clues are available here; both a pdf file and a publisher file for you to edit and make the clues fit you!

There are a collection of 6 clues that lead students to a treasure map. The clues lead the students to the dolls/home corner, a students desk,  playground, library, principals office and assembly/concert area.  

They loved racing to find the clues and trying to figure out where we had to go next!

We finally found the treasure map and on it was a map of our playground. There was a cross on it an studnets had to figure out that it was one of our sandpits. We rushed there and students started digging like crazy! Eventually we found the treasure chest! It was very exciting!!

We all gathered around to open the treasure chest together and predicted what we thought might be inside. We opened it up to find lots of gold and silver coins... and even better they had chocolate inside!
