So today I have been stuck at home and made just 1 project but – it will be SO much fun for my kiddos so I’m very excited!

I’m switching from an owl theme to a pirate theme this year and I think it will be perfect for my 3rd graders!  My kids and I love to play a game called Trash Can Spelling. { If you haven’t heard of it – I blogged about it here }

Anywho ~ I saw this cute idea on pinterest and knew I could use it along with my Trash Can Spelling game.  

All I needed was a :

* cork board

* black duct tape

* red duct tape

* pirate dress up hooks

* 80’s style black rubber bracelets

* glue gun/sticks

* scissors

So I cut small pieces of the black duct tape and made a trail like this:

Then I cut 2 pieces to make the X from red duct tape.  I hot glued the hooks on the trail part and there you go!  Simple, fun easy and a #pinterestwin

How do you like it?!?

I’m sure you can incorporate something like this into almost any theme you have in your room.  It’s perfect for those 10 minutes before the bell.  Ask kids how to spell words, answer a math problem etc.  If they get it right they earn the chance to throw a bracelet.  They eat this stuff up!
