Rhyming Song- Pirate Ship (Tune of Row, row, row your boat)
Sail, sail, sail your ship
Gently o’er the sea
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
A pirate’s life for me.

Action Rhyme- Ten Little Pirates
Ten little pirates stood in a row hold up all ten fingers
And then they bowed to their captain so lower and raise fingers
They marched to the left march hands to left (or opposite since kids mirror you)
Then they marched to the right march hands to left (or opposite)
They shouted yoo hoo! cup hands over mouth
And gave their captain a fright act scared, cover mouth with hands
