Talk Like a Pirate Treasure Hunt
Ahoy Matey! Who doesn’t like a good afternoon of talking like a pirate? This scavenger hunt is printed with clues that use places in your own home. Simply print, cut, hide and play!
My daughter love surprises. She appreciates cute post-its left on her desk, notes in her lunch box and of course, treasure hunts. In honor of the movie Pan, I created this treasure hunt for her. Because what better way to get in the mood for a pirate movie than to practice talking like one?
Truth be told, I’m not very good at pirate speak. Thankfully, there are an abundance of pirate talk translators online – I kid you not! I entered my treasure hunt clue, clicked on the translate button and it produced a perfect pirate talk translation.
This treasure hunt uses places found in a common house making it the perfect rainy day activity. The best part is that there is virtually no preparation on your part because I’ve written all the clues for you.

I printed the clues on card stock for a little extra durability. Notice that each clue is numbered. Hide each one in the appropriate place.
Clue No. 1: Give to child (wait until all clues are hidden of course)
Clue No. 2: Put under or on top of child’s pillow
Clue No. 3: Put on a chair of the kitchen table
Clue No. 4: Hide by the TV.
Clue No. 5: Place on top of the washing machine
Clue No. 6: Lay on top of a computer.
Clue No. 7: Place on the bed in the master bedroom.
Clue No, 8: Place on sink in kid’s bathroom.
Clue No. 9: Lay among child’s toys.
Clue No. 10: Place with treasure in child’s sock drawer.
For the prize, I used a few pirate coins and necklaces that I found in the craft store’s party supply section. However, any prize would be awesome. I would use stickers, pencils or maybe even a little piece of candy.
Not only did my daughter have fun searching for each clue, but hearing her recite each card aloud like a pirate was beyond cute and entertaining.

Love this what a fun idea! Great to go with the movie and also annual talk like a pirate day.
Hi Julie! Thank you! So my friend Holly has this perfect pirate joke too. You might have already heard it. What is a pirate’s favorite letter? (Hopefully, you answer, “Arrr!”) No, you would think its the R but it’s actually the Sea. I’ve been dying to use that somewhere 🙂
