Make hooks for hands by taking a Styrofoam cup. Draw a hook on cardboard, cut it out and insert it in the bottom of the cup. The kids then insert their hand and it looks like a Pirate's Hook Hand.

Pirate Game
Swashbuckling Bread sticks We can have a sword fight with bread sticks the object is to break down your opponent's bread stick, without damaging their own, or as little as possible. When one player's bread stick becomes so short that he or she can no longer use it, the player surrenders the stub and is forced to "walk the plank."
