This 46-page unit includes five days of hands-on activities and crafts (15 total) to complete with your student about the robbers who sailed the seas hundreds of years ago! This is a thematic unit focusing on skills and concepts needed for school, there is no research guide included with this unit.

Additional skills covered are Pirate Trivia, Compasses and the Directions East, West, North and South. Tracer Font or Cut and Paste answers are provided for this unit. Ebook A digital version of the same exact pages provided in all of our other versions. Downloadable as a PDF file, no special software is needed, just the free Adobe Reader that is a simple download. High speed internet is helpful as some ebooks can be 10mb and larger. - Instant availability when purchased through our website which means instant gratification. This also means when your child asks “why does this mosquito bite itch and why did it bite me anyways?” you can take advantage of that interest and download our Project Pack on Mosquitoes and get started right away before their interest fades waiting for the mail to arrive with your printed order.
- No need to back up as your Ebooks remain in your account with unlimited downloads. How many times have you heard the stories or experienced it yourself of computer troubles and losing all your files before you had a chance to back them up. No problem with our products, we’ve eliminated that step for you, just log back into your account and download anytime.
- No shipping cost which helps save you money!
Ebook with Type It In Love the convenience of Ebooks but have a student who is a struggling writer or just prefers to work on the computer? - Full Ebook with all the same features plus the ability to type into the graphics!
- Using a feature similar to that used for filling out tax forms and other legal documents, students can type all their answers into the graphics with the handiness of spell check, and then print out and complete the folding of the activity. They can choose to read the guide from the computer or print that portion of the Ebook out and read from it; they will then complete their assigned activities each day at the computer.
- This version is ideal for reluctant writers, students learning to use the keyboard, as well as those who prefer to work independently.
- Only $2 more than the Ebook version
To use this version you only need Adobe Reader, however if you wish to save the unit with the students answers in it , change fonts, add pictures, or alter anything further, you will need the full version of Acrobat Adobe. Therefore it is recommended that the student print each activity as they complete it. CD The CD has a PDF file of the Unit on it ready for you to print and use as you’d like. You will need Adobe Reader, a free program to open it. - Because our units include reproducible, you’ll need to run copies of the graphics, or scan them from the printed version, or purchased our Kit Pack which provides them already printed out. The benefit of the CD is you can quickly and easily insert it into your computer and select the graphic pages (the last half of the book) and print those pages and walk away, no need to scan or copy one page at a time taking up your precious time.
- If you are like most homeschooling moms, your bookshelves are full and trying to find space for more books, however wonderful they may be, is difficult to fathom. That is where our CDs come in, they take up a fraction of the space but contain all the same wonderful information.
- It is also a readymade back-up!
Printed
The printed copy is great for anyone who likes to have something in their hands to teach from. - Our spiral binding makes copying the graphics for your students a breeze because it folds behind itself.
- Students love looking through the book and treat them like beloved toys.
- Sometimes out of sight means out of mind, so having the printed version helps keep you bringing laughter and learning into your children’s schooling often!
Printed with CD Combo
The best of both worlds for only $3 more! - Want something tangible to teach from but want the convenience of printing graphics from the CD, this is the way to go!
- CDs are stored in an adhesive pocket in the back of the printed book, so it isn’t separated from the unit.
Hands-Full Premium
Do you want it all and can’t decide between all of our versions or do you have multiple children with multiple learning styles, this is the product for you. It has them ALL! - The Hands-Full Premium version contains a Printed unit with a CD. On the CD is: the Ebook, Ebook with Type It In, a digital version of the Kit Pack, the Answer Key, and a Supplement to the Project Pack (which cannot be purchased separately).
- The digital Kit Pack helps save you time! You can easily print all the graphics without having to select pages. All extras have been removed from this file. Just load your printer with a rainbow assortment of colored paper, hit print, and walk away. When you come back, all of the graphics will be printed for you!
- The Supplement contains all of the graphics with a tracer font placed inside for those reluctant writers who are not yet able to use the computer or need more handwriting practice. When the graphic is too small for a tracer font, a cut and paste option is provided. This is also a great way to include those younger brothers and sisters in the units you are all working on that may still be a bit over their heads. Even if they are just practicing their handwriting and listening to you read, they will pick up a lot and be proud of their finished project.
Additional Optional Add-On Products Answer Key Help take the guesswork out of the planning and grading of your child’s Lapbook. All for only $3. - Our daily planning guide breaks down the unit day by day and tells you what vocabulary words to assign each day, which sections of the guide to read, and which activities to complete.
- Following the daily planning guide you will find the activity questions, folding instructions, and the answers to help you make sure your children are on the right track.
- Great time saving tool when your older students are using the products independently.
Kit Pack
Running short on time but need to get school done? Kit Packs are here to help you! You will still need to have the full unit so you have the guide and activity instructions as the Kit Pack only includes the graphics.
- Kit Packs provide all the graphics for the unit printed on multiple colors of paper ready to be used by your student. Just fill in their answers, cut and fold. No copying needed!
- We also provide a pre-folded Lapbook base so all the work has been done for you the parent, just not the student!
**Please Note Type It In Formats, Hands-Full Formats and Answer Keys are not yet available for all units at this point.

Ahoy Matey
Just finished the Ahoy Matey lapbook and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was disappointed at first when I realized there was no literature list. After sorting through multiple books from the library, I changed my mind… There’s not much out there I’d recommend for this age other than silly stories.
The lapbook, as always for HOAC, is so easy to work with. For this one, however, the activities were the "gold". They were great fun for my boys (4 and 6)… and more importantly, they were easy to expand. Treasure hunts, chocolate coin math, jewels, compass practice, boat construction, I Spy, charades… you name it, we did it!
My only negative comments are: First of all, I don’t understand why one of the minibooks is in cursive. I think very few kids this age have been introduced to it. And secondly, I think the poem is too difficult for this age. My boys zoned out immediately. Instead we used Gail Gibbons book, “Pirates: Robbers of the High Seas”. Otherwise... super!

A Jolly Good Time
Oh my, did my co-op class have fun doing the pirates lapbook! This is a great topic for boys. They had to move our classroom because we were being too noisy talking like pirates! On our last day I had them search the building for hidden treasure. They loved it!
A suggestion would be to include a reading list with this lapbook. We enjoyed so many fun picture books. The class favorite was "How I Became a Pirate" and the sequel, "Pirates Don't Change Diapers," by Melinda Long and David Shannon. There's also "Shiver Me Letters: A Pirate ABC," by June Sobel and Henry Cole and "Pirate Pete" by Kim Kennedy. I also highly recommend "Tough Boris" by Mem Fox which deals with how a pirate mourns the loss of his pet parrot.

Ahoy Matey
Great unit to start out with. We spent a week on this unit, and the boys said it wasn't long enough. I done this with a 1st & 2nd grader. They had so much fun creating a pirate, pirate ship, flag, etc! All the activities were fun & informative. Most activities the boys could do all on their own.
My boys enjoyed this unit so much, and I was told I have to get more! We're looking into doing Blackbeard and the Pirates lapbooks from HOAC also. I shouldn't say looking into ... we will do them!
Thank you HOAC for adding such fun to our lives by providing great material for our children to learn from!

Ahoy, Matey
What a great time we had with this! While my olders (12, 10, and 8 were doing Pirates, the 6 and 2 year olds were able to tag along on the journey with this project pack. We all had pirate names and positions on the crew. It is one of our most favorite studies!
