40 GAMES Swab the Deck – Set up a start and finish line with an obstacle course of ‘piratey’ things between each. Using a broom the children sweep the balls around the obstacle course. You might vary this activity, by having treasures along the way that they have to pick up. Treasure Chest Toss – Set up a series of treasure chests, wooden boxes, or baskets at different distances and assign each a point. Line the little pirates up and give each a set number of plastic or chocolate gold coins. The goal is to get as many points as possible by tossing the coins into the containers. After the game is finished, equally distribute the coins to each child and have them put them in their treasure chests. Cannonball Attack – Mark two ships on the ground out of tape. Divide the pirates into two teams and give each team plenty of cannon balls (crumpled newspaper secured by black electrical tape, or painted Styrofoam balls). Let the attack begin. The goal is to get as many balls on the other teams ship before the time runs out. Treasure Hunt – A pirate treasure hunt can be indoors or outdoors depending on your facility. Clues can be written down, drawn or photographed. Each clue can be set up as part of a jig saw shape. When all are found they make a map (example map on page 59) which leads to the buried treasure full of goodies to share. Clues can be simple or complex depending on the age of the children. The treasure can include bible promises to put in their little treasure chests. Cannonball Blast – Tie inflated black balloons (cannonballs) to each child’s ankle. The children have to ‘explode’ the other pirates cannonballs without having their own popped. X marks the spot – A pirate twist on the traditional ‘Pin the Tail on the Donkey’ party game. Make a large map and add an X to mark the treasure spot. Blindfold the pirates, spin them around and have them try and place a treasure chest sticker on the X. The closest Treasure chest wins.

ADDITIONAL IDEAS
Matthew 6:19-24 in the Bible talks about not building up your earthly treasures, but focusing on the eternal treasures that will remain into eternity. Young children can have difficulty grasping this concept. Activities and crafts can be used to help children understand what this means and helping them to be able to focus on what is important in life.
