Pirates Past Noon is the fourth book in the Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osborne.
Our Pre-K Book Club enjoyed this book! The host mom started off the morning by reviewing
the book and giving the kids eye patches. Then some of the kids did a Make-A-Pirate
Sticker Scene while the others went for a treasure hunt. When the first group
was done with the treasure hunt the next group went. The kids then had a pirate
snack and played a “Shipwreck” game. So fun! Stay tuned for books 5-8 in the
months to come!

Treasure Hunt
The kids had fun with this! We couldn’t find the original hunt that we did so I made up another one that I did with my boys. I had a babysitter when I was little that would always make up treasure hunts. After making this one and seeing how much the boys loved it, I must make up more!

“Shipwreck” Game
One of the moms led this Shipwreck Game that she adapted from Playworks! She added teaching them the lingo for the boat and had them row to the right when she shouted starboard and the left when she said port. She also took out several of the other rules to make it appropriate for pre-kinders.

Thanks so much for sharing! We have a pirate themed week coming next week. I've heard so much about these books but have been hesitant to try them. I'm noticing you have many more posts about them. I'm excited to check them out. Feel free to check out our activities at http://everystarisdifferent.blogspot.com.
