Today we started the PlusKids holiday programme, and the first week is given over to pirates.
The beginning of summer has its own challenges. The children come straight out of a school year with its own rhythm, and they need a few days to settle into a new programme — a lighter one, but a programme all the same. That is why the first theme matters: it has to be appealing enough to catch them on day one.
Pirate stories do that effortlessly. The children step into them at once, choose their own roles and get to work. The rest — the group's rules, the new classmates, the rhythm of the day — settles by itself, while everyone is busy with something else.
