Sing a Song
Looking for Treasure
(Tune: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)
I’m looking for treasure, yesiree!
Want to come along with me?
We can look for coins of gold
“X” marks the spot so we’ve been told.
We’ll bring a shovel to dig, dig, dig
If we find some we’ll dance a jig!
Watch
If you want to be a pirate – The Kiboomers
Try This
Make up a song about pirates and sing it together. Singing helps kids prepare for reading by learning to hear syllables, and introduces rhythm, rhyme, and even helps develop vocabulary.
