Players pretend they’re on a pirate ship. One child is the Captain and should shout instructions such as “port” (run to the left), “starboard” (run to the right), “climb the rigging”(pretend to climb a ladder), “sweep the decks” (on knees pretend to scrub the ground), “walk the plank” (getting into a line and pretend to be walking a tightrope) and any others the children can make up. The slowest person to carry out the commands or the person who gets the command wrong, is out. Last one standing wins the game and becomes Captain.
