They can also practice target shooting with Mr. Pym on the Shark Raft. Kids can climb up to the Crow's Nest and look through the telescope to get a closer view of distant objects and watch the zany antics of pirates. For more laughs, they can watch the reactions of Pongolo Pete, the captain's parrot, when they feed him all sorts of food and objects. In the Mess Hall, children will encounter pirates and can join their boisterous sing-along. Lyrics are highlighted when the songs play, giving children the opportunity to develop vocabulary and early reading skills.
Children collect a card from each pirate they click on.
These cards can be printed and colored. All directions are spoken, making this a very easy program for young children to play without assistance. The characters, graphics, sounds, and music are all appealing. Ten different treasure maps and two sets of pirate characters provide a slightly different experience each time a child plays the game. There is not a great deal of variety in each adventure, however, and the jokes get old quickly.
