Pirates Past Noon, from the Magic Tree House Series, provide students with the treasure hunt of a life time! Students will explore pirates, and delve into their pirate level creativity, making items that will transform them to the days of pirates. Since no pirate is complete without a pirate hat and eye patch, students start their pirate study making these items. That is just the beginning of the fun. Students will design their own pirate flag, choosing their personal pirate symbol. They will write their own pirate adventure which will be sure to be a tale to be told. Also, no pirate adventure is complete without a treasure hunt. The “gold doubloons” that come with the kit can be hidden in the area for students to locate.
