*I laminated a pirate head and several different colored patches. This was a fun one and easy for parents/caregivers to catch on.
Pirate Ships:
There are so many pirate ships rocking on the sea.
What colored pirate ship do you see?
Keep adding colored pirate ships...
There are so many pirate ships rocking on the sea.
How many pirate ships do you see?
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5!
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5!

*One of my awesome Library Assistants found this rhyme and made different colored ships for us to use.
Polly, come out to play!
Polly, polly, come out to play,
What colored pirate ship are you hiding behind today?
*A variation of our "Mouse Behind the House" game. Using the same colored ships from above, we hid a pirate's parrot, Polly, behind one of the colored ships and played a hiding game.
Five Pirates on a Treasure Chest
Five pirates on a treasure chest,
One jumped off and four are left.
Four pirates on a treasure chest,
One stepped down and three are left.
Three pirates on a treasure chest,
One twirled off and two are left.
Two pirates on a treasure chest,
One climbed down and one is left.
One pirate on a treasure chest,
He was pushed off and none are left!
No pirates on the treasure chest,
"Yo, Ho, HO! Now the treasure is all mine!"
