Make Social Studies & Reading FUN with This Pirate-Themed School Assembly

Your Students Will Take an Amazing Voyage Through North & South Carolina Pirate History with Magic, Puppets, Storytelling, & More

Are you looking for a unique school assembly that covers North and South Carolina history?

Many school assemblies tackle broader topics, but with North and South Carolina’s colorful past, there is a great opportunity for our local history to take center stage as an educational school assembly program!

The best school assemblies use topics kids naturally find interesting. Did you know that pirates ruled the waters of the Carolinas for nearly 40 years? A history and social studies school assembly program on pirates is a perfect educational opportunity for your K-5 students.

And I’ve created the perfect program for North and South Carolina schools.

The Best Pirate-Themed School Assembly Your School Will Ever Host

I’m educational school assembly performer Tim Sonefelt. For the last 20+ years, I’ve performed fun-filled and interactive school assembly programs that my school clients rave about. My assembly topics include math, science, character education, and more. But I’ve always been fascinated by pirates. And I’m not alone. Kids of all ages love pirates. This “evergreen” topic (plus the Carolinas’ history) makes pirates the perfect elementary school-age assembly show!

In my fun-filled “Pirates of the Carolinas” program, your students will discover amazing facts about pirates, their culture, and much more. But this isn’t a dry, boring lecture. This may be a social studies school assembly, but it’s kid-friendly and filled with jaw-dropping magic, join-in fun, puppets, colorful stage scenery, and more.

But you may have never heard of me. You might wonder if my programs really capture the attention of students. Check out what a recent client said:

“From the very first “Arrgh!” to the end of Tim Sonefelt’s Pirates of the Carolinas, we felt like pirates had certainly come to visit! Our students enjoyed the engaging show which incorporated fun facts about North & South Carolina pirates using music, puppets, magic, & storytelling. Tim has joined us for several years now with different shows & we always look forward to his performances. Well done, Tim!!!!. I’m sorry I didn’t get pictures, I was laughing so hard I couldn’t hold the camera still!”

But it’s not enough to create a fun show for kids. Your school’s classroom time is too important. Your kids need to experience real education to justify pulling them out of class.

Don’t worry, you’ll be thrilled with how much content is in this assembly.

What Your Students Will Experience During “Pirates of the Carolinas” School Assembly…

Your students discover fascinating facts about pirate culture. They’ll find out the truth about many misunderstood or forgotten details about what it was like to be a pirate. Here’s just a small sample:

Treasure Maps
Pirate Flags – The Jolly Roger
Treasure
Pirate’s Rules – Code of Conduct
Animals on Pirate Ships
Women Pirates
Pirates in History
Blackbeard’s Last Battle

I also alter how I present the material to best fit the grade levels attending, so your students get a program tailored specifically for them.

What makes this historical adventure so much fun is its variety. During the show, your students are directly involved. They help make the magic happen. And they roleplay to bring important events to life! Kids become the pirate Blackbeard and other key roles in his story.

This History Adventure Doubles as a Reading-Themed School Assembly Program

Social studies? History? Reading? Yup, this program is perfect for all three subjects! Maybe you’re a teacher looking to get your students excited about history. Or you’re a school media specialist trying to get kids motivated to visit the library and check out more books. Regardless, “Pirates of the Carolinas” has you covered!

Included with the historical facts and fun, your students will become part of my pirate crew. We’ll use the Dewey Decimal System as your school’s treasure map. That’s right, we go on a treasure hunt during the assembly! Best of all, you don’t need to provide the treasure or prepare anything.

During the treasure’s ‘big reveal,’ your students discover BOOKS are the real treasure!

The BIG Problem with a Pirate-Themed School Assembly

But there’s an ‘elephant in the room’ with this subject that I have to address. Pirates weren’t the most civilized group of people. They did bad things to a lot of people. This means an effective historical school assembly on the pirates of North and South Carolina has to be interesting, educational, and fun for kids…without the more ‘unsavory’ elements.

Rest assured—the “Pirates of the Carolinas” assembly program was painstakingly crafted to give kids a window into pirate culture but is completely suitable for young audiences in a school environment. This show is educational, interactive, and completely kid-friendly.
