To be sure, this was a great success: Kees and I made a map of our backyard and a small cardboard X. The game was, someone would hide some treasure in the backyard, then put the X in the right place on the map. Then the other person had to use the map to find the treasure. Spatial awareness, map design, map reading, drawing, perspective and fun - I gave myself a lot of points for this activity! Arr yes, pirates got no need for modesty.

More's the pity, pirates-in-trainin' be too young for rum. But not rumballs.

Pirates love danger, and a rusty old shipwreck is just the thing for us!
this looks so fun, especially having a treasure hunt at the old ship wreck, awesome!
