Who are the Crew?
The Pirates:
All children from kindergarten through grade seven,
whether or not they’re in French immersion!
The capitaines: Teachers, parents, principals and volunteers!
Take the lead and show your kids how
to celebrate!
What to Expect from the Adventure? From Maple Sugar Crêpe-Offs to Skip-a-thons, and from FlagMaking to Film Nights, this kit is brimming with great activities (en français, bien sûr!) for les pirates to enjoy in the
classroom, in the school, and in the community.
Clues to Find More Treasure: And there is still more treasure to be found! French music, films, entertainers, skipping
songs, word games, puzzles and other activities can be found by following the Internet links throughout our Pirate Kit!
Why French? French is the second most widely-spoken language in the world and Canadians love it!
Children in BC
and the Yukon are learning French like never before. Through simple games and crafts, contests and music, or through
concerts and film festivals, you can help all the children in your community share their love for French!
Who’s Sailing the Ship? Canadian Parents for French is a national, parent-led, non-profit organization that has
worked for more than 30 years to create and promote opportunities for children to learn and enjoy French as
a second language.
The Doubloons:
We are very grateful to the Department of Canadian Heritage and to the BC
Ministry of Education for their financial support of this initiative.

X Marks the Spot
Faites un X
How to Hunt for Treasure/ Comment organizer une chasse au trésor
This treasure kit offers you the perfect opportunity to highlight classroom
activities in French, even if it’s not an immersion class. We know teachers, parents
and volunteers are incredibly busy – let this tool kit lighten the load!! With everyone
involved, there can be a sea of fun for all to enjoy. (Pssst...it will be our little secret
that kids might even learn a thing or two along the way...)
Photocopy any part of, or the entire booklet and share it with parents, students,
other teachers – anyone who can benefit from it!
This kit is divided into four main parts:
• The parrot indicates activities for your class
• The pirate ship shows ideas to share with the whole school
• The pirate flag is the symbol for fun activities to share with
your neighbourhood
• And the treasure chest is bursting with resources for
activities, games, music and more
With a host of fun ideas to share with your class, the whole school or the community,
you can showcase your students’ amazing French language gifts. In fact, you may
want to invite parents to visit the school to show off all that talent!
Whether for an hour, a day, or for a whole week, it’s time to share the gift of
French and célébrer!

Parrot’s Paradise/ Le paradis des perroquets
Celebrate in the Classroom/ Célébrez dans la classe
Nos Bijoux
Hunting for treasure requires a team effort! Gather new insights into
your fellow pirates with this co-operative activity. The necklace they
create represents everyone’s talents and the potential
for teamwork.
• Ask students to think of some things they do well – everyone has
a special gift! After a brief discussion, pass out coloured paper
strips and ask students to write down three to five things they do well.
• Have the students connect their strips into a paper chain using
glue or a stapler. As students complete their individual chains, use
extra strips of paper to link their chains together to create one
long class chain.
• Have students stand and hold the growing chain as you link the
pieces together. The class has created a “jewelled necklace” of
their talents.
• Once the entire chain is constructed and linked, lead a discussion
about what the chain demonstrates. Post the necklaces around
the classroom or in the hall for all to admire!
• Message: Everyone has things they do well; the class is stronger
when students work together than when individual students work
on their own.
Variations:
• Children link in smaller groups according to common themes:
all the children with pets, children who play team sports, take
music lessons etc.
• Use a different question and ask children about any aspect of
their everyday lives.

Creative Improv
L’improvisation créative
Wondering how to get creative in French? Well, here’s a great game! Everyone
contributes a little to make a BIG story. Be silly or serious; just have fun!
On an extra large sheet of paper, make a list of the following things with suggestions
from students:
• Something you would see in a store
• Something you give your mother
• Favourite sports
• Favourite movie star
• Favourite food
• Destination (park, lake, Grandma’s house, indoor playground, water park, science centre)
• What you want to be when you grow up
• Name(s) of pet(s)
• Favourite animal
Make sure there are as many words as students (you can have multiple answers beside each
item on the list). The teacher begins with, “Il était une fois... j’ai trouvé une chose très
étrange...” and uses the first word in the list. Each student contributes a sentence using one
of the words. The story is done when everyone contributes a sentence, and the words are all
used. Record the sentences and put the story up in the classroom.
Kidnap a French Captain!
Enlevez un capitaine français
BC and the Yukon have vital Francophone communities filled with capitaines
offering all kinds of exciting talents. Kidnap (or invite!) a French-speaking capitaine/
volunteer to school to teach songs, cook crêpes, teach a drawing lesson or read
a book in French and share the week’s celebrations. Ask a recent traveller to a
French speaking locale to bring in their photos and souvenirs to share with
the children.

Create Your Own Word Search
Créons des jeus de mots mystères
Sure, doing a mots mystères is fun, but making your own ...
that takes language skills to a whole new level!
This activity naturally adapts to the student’s level. Children are challenged to
come up with the correct words and spelling. The grids can be big or small.
There’s an element of peer-to-peer learning when children swap puzzles. Teachers
can encourage students to use their dictionaries for spelling and ideas.
If you are feeling ready for a bigger challenge, you can create your own crossword
puzzle. Clues and specialized grid required!!
Please photocopy the activity sheet opposite.
Everything is More Fun
with a Buddy!/ C’est toujours plus
amusant avec un ami!
16
12
Use these activities as an opportunity to buddy up individuals
or classes. Buddies can work on their “journal de bord de
pirate” together (see page 23) and compare their experiences.
They can read to one another, write a French story, or learn
the French Hand Jive, page 18. Classes can co-operate or
compete on researching French culture or any schoolwide activities.
Another idea... You can write specific activities on
a small piece of paper; then let the students
draw the activity they will do as a
team or individually.
Mots mystères
1. Sélectionne un thème. En voici quelques-uns pour t’aider:
La haute mer
Un sport préféré, comme le hockey ou le soccer
Des noms de fleurs
Des plaisirs aquatiques
Des animaux nocturnes
2. Écris les mots soit à l’horizontale, à la verticale ou en diagonale ou encore, pour que ce
soit plus difficile, écris-les à l’envers.
3. Remplis les carrés vides avec les lettres que tu veux.
4. Fais une liste des mots que tu as utilisés, à côté ou sous la grille.
5. Échange ta grille avec ton ami.

Origami Heart/ Origami d’un coeur
Tired of colouring on those inside days?
En as-Tu assez de dessiner lorsqu’il pleut?
Un origami d’un cœur est amusant à faire et il a
plusieurs utilisations! Parfait pour la St-Valentin,
tu peux en faire un ou plusieurs pour décorer
une carte. Ou bien insère un petit message à
l’intérieur et il devient lui-même une carte (voir
la photo ci-contre).
Il y a quelques plis finaux sur ce modèle qui
contiennent plusieurs épaisseurs de papier et
qui peuvent être un peu difficiles pour les plus
jeunes. Une paire de ciseaux est nécessaire.
14
1. Commence en pliant ton carré en
deux diagonalement et en faisant un bon
pli. Déplie et coupe le long de la ligne.
2. Tu devrais avoir deux triangles
comme ceci, que tu peux utiliser pour
faire deux cœurs.
3. Mets le triangle en face de toi avec le côté
le plus long vers le bas. Plie un coin vers
l’autre, comme illustré, afin de faire un pli.
4. Ouvre le triangle à nouveau.
5. Maintenant, pli le coin du haut vers 6. Prends un des coins du bas et
le bas environ au 2/3, comme illustré.
replie-le vers le haut en t’assurant
que l’extrémité soit alignée avec le
pli du centre que tu as déjà fait.
7. Fais la même chose avec l’autre coin.
Fais des bon plis.
8. Retourne-le. Plie les rabats du haut
de chaque côté le long des lignes
pointillées illustrées ci-dessous.
10. Voici la forme d’un cœur de base,
terminée.
9. Voici à quoi ça ressemble. Tu es
en train de faire ta forme de cœur.
tin
la en
V
11. Arrondis les contours de ton
cœur en faisant de petits plis sur
les coins du haut et de l’extérieur,
comme illustré.
12. Tu peux voir que les quatre coins
du haut sont arrondis ici.
e
13. Retourne ton cœur terminé. Pourquoi
ne pas insérer un petit message dans
le cœur avant de l’offrir?
15
Origami Penguin/ Origami de manchot
Ces manchots sont tellement beaux (et faciles et rapides à faire une fois
l’emplacement des plis est maîtrisé) que nous pourrions plier toute une bande de
manchots avec plaisir!
Si tu n’as pas les yeux globuleux, tu peux découper de petits cercles du papier ou
utiliser de petits autocollants blancs et noirs pour avoir le même effet.
1. En plaçant le côté coloré de ton carré noir sur le dessus et en diagonal devant toi,
plie le coin du bas vers le haut comme sur la photo.
2. Fais un bon pli. Maintenant plie le coin blanc vers le bas pour faire le bec du
manchot, comme illustré.
3. Plie un des coins vers le milieu en alignant le coin et le pli du centre (voir la
flèche ci-dessous).
4. Fais la même chose avec l’autre coin. Fais des bon plis.
5. Replie le rabat de l’aile sur lui-même afin de seulement voir la pointe de l’aile
dépasser, comme illustré ci-dessous.
6. Retourne ton manchot et ajoute ses yeux!
7. Comment résister à l’envie de créer une famille de manchots?

Hand Jives/ Parlez avec les mains
Hand jives happen all over the world! Children sing
or recite catchy rhymes, while slicing the air with hand
moves and claps. Here’s one from a summer camp in

Le capitaine du bateau pirate
Here’s a new game that is fun for everyone, including the littlest pirates!
The capitaine (teacher) calls out actions or directions. Students run to that part of
the “bateau” (classroom) or do the action. The last person to complete the direction
is “out”. Play until there is only one student left. OR you can designate one area as
l’île déserte, and rather than be out, students can “nager jusqu’à la rive”. Students can
then rejoin game.
Designate which walls of the class are “babord”, “tribord”, “l’avant” and “l’arrière”.
Here are some commandes du capitaine:
• Cinq personnes dans un bateau – Make a group of five
• Trois personnes dans un canot – Make a group of three,
stand in a row and pretend to row the canoe
• Bateau amoureux – Find a partner and waltz
• Sur le plancher – Hit the deck! (Get on the ground!)
• Dégagez le pont – Lift your feet off the floor
• Requin! – Shark! Pretend to be a shark and hum the theme
from “Jaws”
• Garde à vous – Salute
• Un homme à la mer! – Man Over Board! Find a partner,
one person “rescues” the other and they swim to shore
19
Un peu d’Hollywood
Great movies start with a great script. Here students fashion an action adventure, send a heroine on
a quest, or launch rockets into space. Have them write and practice all week then perform it for
everyone on the last day of French Immersion Week.

Keep a Pirate Log!/ Ecrivons un journal de bord d’un pirate!
Spend a week using French beyond the school grounds. Children can impress their
mates and family and see how much fun it is! They keep a “journal de bord de pirate” and note all the times they speak or listen to French outside the classroom.
This simple journaling activity can be co-operative or competitive, done in large
groups, small groups or individually.
• Teachers can award points or stickers for completed duties
• Classes can compete for the most points
• The class can set a target for points and then reach or exceed that target during
a designated week of French Celebrations such as Carnaval.
Here are some “devoirs de pirate” children can do and note in their logs:
• Select and watch the French version on a DVD
• Listen to French radio
• Watch French TV
• Talk to your pet in French
• Try preparing and eating French food – check out the recipes in this booklet
• Greet your neighbour in French
• Download your favourite French song from: http://musique.ados.fr or
•
set iTunes to France for a day or the whole week. (Go to the bottom of your
free iTunes software main page and select “France” from the “My Store” pull
down menu.)
Any activity in this booklet!
Write down these experiences in your journal de bord de pirate, and share them
with family, friends, and classmates.
Variation:
Teachers and students can create and assign these devoirs de pirate together.

Journal de bord d’un pirate/ Pirate Log
Tout le monde parle français!
About 175 million people speak French worldwide and French is the
official language in at least 30 countries. Have your pirates find and
mark the countries where French is spoken on a world map. You’ll
cover the whole world!
Make a copy of the list of French speaking countries below. Post the
list in the classroom along with a small stickies notepad or supply of
pushpins. When children finish work early, they can source the list
and find the countries. They mark the country, and check it off the
list. Take some time to debrief as they progress, and note where
French is spoken.
Variation:
• Have the children colour the flags, and mount them with the
world map in the classroom or the hallway. Now you’ve got
a “Tout le monde parle français” display.
For free colouring versions of
international flags go to:
www.abcteach.com
and search “Country Flags”

Let’s Hear from our French Pirates
Écoutons nos pirates francophones!
About 90 per cent of French immersion schools are dual-track
(have both English and French immersion students in them).
Be proud of our languages and make some announcements in
both French and English. Put your student Pirates to work,
and have them read the annou nceme nts for your French
activities in French !

Mmmm! Les pirates adorent la cuisine française!
Organize a French food fair (pirates love alliteration!) with the recipes and ideas below. Or go with a
themed approach and serve dishes from a particular region or country that your ambassadeurs have
researched, see page 26. Use flags, costumes and music to make it really special.
There are recipes at:
www.ffcook.com
NOTE: While this web site is in both French and English, when you click through to the recipes, the site
switches to English. The site has different categories including “Super Easy Menus” and “Express Menus”.
Pirate Feasts/ Festins de pirates
• Hold a multicultural potluck lunch
• Hold a casual lunch serving split pea soup, poutine
and tourtière
• Sponsor a recipe or cooking contest with teachers
and principals as judges
• Compile the recipes toward a French or Franco-
phone cookbook and make copies for fundraising
• Offer tasting and sampling events during the
noon-hour, serving cheese, pastries and other
regional cuisine
• Have teachers or parents participate in a “best-
filling” crêpe contest with students taste-testing
and judging through secret ballot. Award ribbons
• Decorate the gym or cafeteria with student-
made posters illustrating French regional cuisines
and create menus in French
• Organize a culinary scavenger hunt with teams of
students searching for ingredients of a simple recipe
28
Pirate Ball/ Un bal de pirates
Here’s a variation on the noon-hour sock
hop. It’s an opportunity for the whole
school to celebrate through art and music.
Children contribute their favourite French
songs to a French playlist for the dance,
and create and decorate a Pirate eye patch
to wear! You can do some mix and match
here, and borrow elements from the Pirate
Games on page 26 with pirate costumes or
swashbuckling competitions.
Crêpes for Everyone
Des crêpes pour tout le monde!
Here’s a proven school-wide activity that gets everyone involved and fed too!
Organize parents and families to prepare a supply of crêpes and fillings to
bring in for la journée des crêpes. Designate teams for crêpes, fillings and
servers. Keep it simple: jams and fruit salad make tasty fillings, as do cheese
and sandwich fixings. Of course, sprinkles are always popular!
Set up the gym buffet style with multiple tables, and everyone helps themselves
to a crêpe, and selects the filling(s) of their choice. Make sure to have enough
on hand for seconds, and thirds . . .
NOTE: This is a great time to display the French country flags the children
have coloured during French Immersion Week, or the research les ambassadeurs
completed about French culture worldwide.

Basic Crêpes Recipe
Crêpes are fun and easy to make. Here’s a basic recipe you can make ahead. You create the filling.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
1-1/3 cups whole milk
3⁄4 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
3⁄4 teaspoon salt
5 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preparation:
1. Combine the eggs, milk, flour and salt in the blender and blend on high speed for one minute.
2. If the batter is lumpy, strain through a sieve. Cover and allow to rest at room temperature for at least
one hour. At this point, it can also be covered and refrigerated for up to one day. Just be sure to bring it to
room temperature before continuing with recipe.
3. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the melted butter. Skim the foam off the butter first.
4. Heat an 8” crêpe pan or skillet over med-high heat. Sprinkle a few drops of water on the pan; if they
sizzle, the pan is ready to use. Brush with a little of the melted butter.
5.
Using a 1/4-cup measure, fill it with batter and pour it into the skillet. Immediately pick up the pan and
tilt and swirl it so that the batter covers the entire bottom of the pan. Pour any excess batter back into
the bowl.
6.
Loosen the edges of the crêpe with a metal spatula. You can use a spatula to turn the crêpe, but fingers
work just as well! Using both hands, pick up the loosened edges with your thumb and index finger and
quickly flip it over.
7.
Cook on the other side until lightly golden (usually less than a minute) and slide it out onto a plate.
Cover with waxed paper. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To serve:
These crêpes may be filled with sweet fillings like jam, and sprinkled with a little sugar. Use your imagination
and a few of your favorite ingredients to develop your own specialties.
To store:
Crêpes may be kept tightly wrapped for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. They may also be frozen. Be sure
to bring them to room temperature before using.
To reheat:
Crêpes may be covered with plastic wrap and reheated in a microwave. Fold in half or in quarters to serve.
