You know, there truly is a day to celebrate everything. September 19th is Talk Like A Pirate Day! This is a perfect day for kindergarten! What kid and (teacher!) doesn’t like pirates? So here’s how we celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day in our classroom with these kindergarten pirate activities!
Kindergarten Pirate Activities: Pirate Read Alouds
Kindergarten Pirate Activities: Kindergarten Reading Comprehension
After reading the story, we use our sequencing skills to put the story in order!
Then we talk about what we would do if we were a pirate!
We made a graphic organizer about pirates! See, you can celebrate fun things and still learn! So much learning and vocabulary happen on this fun pirate day!
And, of course, we speak pirate and learn vocabulary!
Pirate Phonics Game!
Let’s go on a treasure hunt to practice sounds and letters! I am obsessed with poster board and sticky notes to classroom games! Treasure chest! Gold! Students find a sound. Everyone spells the sound on their boards!
Talk Like A Pirate Day Math
We make a graph showing how many of us want to be a pirate! Would you?!
Then we play a fun pirate counting game! Students roll the dice and “walk the plank!” The first person to the end wins!
Kindergarten Pirate Activities: Pirate Art Project
We make handprint pirates! This is a one-on-one project! While the kids are working in centers, I pull them to paint their hands! After the paint dries, I add the face and lines on the hat! Note: Students choose the color of the skin. I offer four different skin tones, and they choose the one they want!
Kindergarten Pirate Activities: Pirate Letter Hunt
You can also read the book Shiver Me Letters and go on a letter hunt! My little pirate wannabes love this activity! They love cutting up magazine pages and hunting for letters! I love the fine motor practice and letter recognition practice!
Talk Like A Pirate Day Activities: Pirate Slime
We also make pirate slime! We make slime and add pirate confetti!
Kindergarten Pirate Activities: Pirate Green Screen
We use our green screen to make fun pirate pictures!
Pirate math and literacy centers! If you’re going to celebrate pirates, you have to do pirate centers!
And finally, no Talk Like A Pirate Day is complete without a pirate!

Of course, we wear pirate hats and eye patches and eat Pirate’s Booty!
