Yes here in the UK we really do have a day called "Talk Like a Pirate Day"! Of course you can have your own pirate themed day any day of the year but in preparation I have been trawling round the blogosphere and the web in general to round up all things pirate for us to use. I know there are more here than we will get round to (no change there, but too many is better than not enough IMHO) but even if we only pass on good resources to others out there then it is still time well spent. This is a very long post so bear with me - there should be something for all kinds of activities for all ages of kids. All that is missing are pirate crafts.
One of the first things I have prepared is clip cards from the pirate set of printables which I downloaded a while ago - unfortunately I didn't make a note of where I got it from (I know, I know) so I cannot credit the appropriate source; if you do know who it is please leave a comment :) However here is the link to the file sharing page to download your own set.
Also included in this set are
- 9 picture cards suitable for memory/matching games
- p is for pirate tracer page
- spot the odd one out in the row activity
- puzzles (2 and 3 pieces)
- pirate ship size sequencing
- pre-writing line tracer page
2Teachingmommies also has a pirate unit (click here) which has:
- Roll and Graph
- Pp is for Pirate
- Beginning Writing/Cutting Practice
- Shadow Match
- Size Sequencing

Homeschool Creations has a pirate lapbook but this is based on the book On a Pirate Ship by Sarah Courtauld which is difficult to get hold of in the UK - I don't know about worldwide.
Some of the activities can still be used without the book. There is a colour the parrot minibook to print, ship sequencing (again!), a bags of gold minibook for printing, pirate word and picture cards which could be used for memory games, puppet cutouts for making lolly stick puppets and a find the treasure game which could be mounted in a file folder for a stand alone game.
