This week's challenge is using your imagination. Choose a pirate name, search the house for some "pirate treasure". Create a treasure box, draw a treasure map and see if someone in your family can find it. Remember to add directions ( N, E, W, S) and decide on some kind of marking that signifies your paces or steps. Enjoy your adventure.
