Take the wheel of a pirate ship! Your student holds the wheel to sail and turns it to steer along the sea lane, collecting eight pieces of pirate gear: a map, spyglass, shovel, hat, cannon, anchor, key and parrot.

Flashcards float on the waves too. Sail into one and it opens, and the ship waits until the card is done. Dodge the rocks and the shark, fill the loot list, and sail to treasure island. Land ho!
