Blackbeard

Over 300 years ago Blackbeard sailed these waters of North Carolina.  Blackbeard had 40 cannons on Q.A.R.  In 1680 they called Blackbeard by his real name, Edward Teach.  They hung Blackbeard with something like a body cage.  Blackbeard’s head body disappeared from the tree they hung him on!

I played Pamlico Pirates, a multiplication game.  You have to get one color of marker (13 markers) then we get two dies each.  Roll the die if it lands on let’s say 6 and 3, you add the 6+3=9, you cover up nine with your marker.  The one with all 12 numbers covered wins.

Women can be pirates because Anne Bonny and Mary Reed disguised themselves in men’s clothes.  I think pirates ate fish and drunk root beer.  One of the rules was being marooned on an island in the middle of the sea if you were caught stealing off the ship.
