Daily Messes: International Talk Like A Pirate Day is 9/19!

9/19 is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! There are so many ways to celebrate. We have a blast with this oddball holiday every year.

Are you ready to don your pirate hat and seek treasure and adventure? If you've misplaced your treasure map, here are some ways to celebrate!

Treasure Hunt (click my Arg, Maties! post for directions on how to make an aged treasure map)
Make Buried Treasure Cups (click link for directions). Our first treasure hunt ended up at the fridge for the buried treasure cups.
Read your favorite pirate book (link to ours)
Make Pumpkin Pirate Boats (click my Arg, Maties! post for directions)
Pirate themed coloring pages (I have a coloring sheet in my Arg, Maties! post)
Have a pirate speaking contest
Serve chocolate gold coins at lunch. They go great with Squidy Dogs, although for Pirate Day maybe they should be called Kraken Dogs! (click link for directions)
If your floors need cleaning, you could always have a swab the deck contest! ;)
Try my Pirate Word Find
For bath time, try making foam monsters and ship shapes
If you live near a river, etc. with river boat cruises, see if they have a pirate themed cruise. We did one a few years ago, and the boys loved it!
Have a coin toss! Similar to my St. Patrick's Day Coin Toss, but make a treasure chest using shoe box or other cardboard box.
