In this document I have created a lead in topic for a school based treasure hunt for Early Years/Grade 1, 2 and 3.
There is a boy pirate character named Axel who tells the children a little about himself and asks if they can help him find the lost treasure and golden key before the bad pirate does.
This is a great lead in to a Pirate topic or a treasure hunt. The children really love the characters and it is more meaning to them because they want to help the boy out by finding the treasure.
