Pirate Board Game

Make a Pirate Board Game

Help your little ones learn math by making a pirate themed board game. Grab a piece of cardboard to use as the board. Draw a picture of a ship at one end and an island with buried treasure at the opposite end. Mark spaces with setbacks along the journey. For example: “Your crew gets scurvy, move back three spaces.” Use plastic gold coins as markers. Let the kids get creative.
