Pirate Booty

Every self-respectin' pirate needs a treasure chest in which to stow their ill-gained booty! Last week, all the pirates on board The Black Pearl and The Death Deck crafted their own treasure chests. Each one was painted and decorated. The Cap'n was gracious enough to give them all a share of booty to put inside, with more to come as we be plunderin' the high seas!

Hoist the Colors

Has your little pirate been singing a new tune? We've just learned the song, "Hoist the Colors" from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Styled after pirate shanties of old, this type of song would be sung while raising the "colors" (flag). Pirates used these songs to keep up a good rhythm and promote teamwork. Here is the chorus from "Hoist the Colors."

Yo, ho, haul together,
Hoist the colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
Never say we die!
