Day 8: Pirates Are Great!

Ahoy there, me hearties! Avast ye and gather round as I tell you the tale of our Bubbles Academy Camp day!

Our Bubbles Buccaneers weighed anchor and hoisted the mizzen by singing and dancing during opening circle time! Then each lad and lass talked about what they would keep in their buried treasure chest! Gracie said she would hide cherry ice cream in there, Matthew said he'd hide balloons and Noah said he'd hide car keys in his treasure chest!

Yarrrr!

Next we all sang songs about being fish in the sea and pirates on a boat during music!

After music, we split up into two ships and set sail. Some of us went to art to make treasure holders (AKA piggy banks)...

While others went to drama to pretend to be pirates!

After that, we took turns going outside and eating our snacks! We had SO much fun playing games like Freeze Tag, Duck Duck Goose and The Wonder Ball! Some Bubbles Buckos even started their own game of What Time Is It Mr. Fox? Then each ship of campers switched places and took turns participating in drama and art!

By the end of the camp day, Joey had learned to hoola hoop, Bianca had played a game of catch without dropping the ball once and Nicholas and Graham ran faster than Old Salt Steph and Old Salt Tamara in a game of Sharks and Minnows.

At the end of camp, Old Salt Steph had the campers singing and dancing again in closing circle time.  Campers shared their favorite parts of the camp day which included, making piggy banks, playing wonder ball and running on the track!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of fun times,
Steph
