With all the buzz about At World’s End, pirates offer a ton of great game ideas. Here are a couple you could use with the Left & Right song…

A cross between the Mr Bump game and Shiver me timbers game, do the Captain Jack Sparrow Treasure Chase. One kid dresses up as Jack Sparrow or Elizabeth, the others guide him/her to the treasure. Have cut outs of the various bad guys on the chairs they have to try and avoid. Either use blindfolds or a double eye patch!

Or turn the Star Wars Lightsaber Battle Game into the Pirates’ Fight to the Death game. Simply use blindfolds or eye patches on both eyes instead of masks and inflatable cutlasses instead of light sabers.

Lot of fun and lots of real English practice. As usual the 100 yen / dollar store, Toys R Us or even Amazon ( USor JP) will be your best friends for all the pirate props!
