Readapalooza 24: Pirates Past Noon

Welcome back to digital Readapalooza and Mary Pope Osborne’s Pirates Past Noon. It’s time to complete the adventure. Then create your own under sea treasure hunt where you might spot some amazing creatures and hopefully a sunken treasure. Don’t forget to log your time for summer reading in Beanstack!

Under Sea Treasure Hunt

Supplies

  • Ziplock bag (gallon preferred) as a sheet protector 
  • 1 piece of white paper and 1 piece of black or dark paper 
  • Permanent markers (must be permanent, washable will not work on plastic) 
  • Printout of flashlight or long thin triangle of white paper 

Directions

Steps 1 & 2 

Put white paper inside ziplock bag folding or cutting off extra to make it fit inside. Next, with the bag zipper along the side, use permanent markers to draw an undersea picture. Don’t forget to include a treasure in your undersea picture. Water based markers will smear if touched so permanent markers must be used.

Step 3 & 4 

Once your drawing is complete insert black paper into the ziplock bag. Notice how difficult it is to see the drawing, just like the darkness under water. Next cut out flashlight / triangle light. Color flashlight if desired.
