Jolly Roger Jamboree!

Jolly Roger Jamboree was held at the Bellevue Public Library on Tuesday, June 18, 2013.
About 125 attendees enjoyed games, crafts, refreshments, a pirate fashion parade, and prizes!

 
 
A treasure chest held door prizes for the children.
 

 
 
 
 

Attendees were encouraged to wear nametags, displaying their
"pirate name".




To find your  pirate name, start by finding the word that is paired with the first letter of your first name.



For your middle pirate name, find the word that is paired with the first letter of your middle name.



And for your last name, find the word that is paired with the first letter of your last name.



If you'd like, scroll down to the bottom of this post and leave a comment by sharing what your pirate name would be!  (Mine is Captain Ann Sparrow!)

To start off the event I read "Do Pirates Take Baths?" by Kathy Tucker, illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott

Taking a break from the games and crafts, a mom reads
a pirate story to her children.



Our "Walk the Plank Pirate Fashion Parade" took us through the library.

Did you attend our Jolly Roger Jamboree?  If so, I'd love to hear what you/your children thought of the activities!
