Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! Originally a joke between two friends, International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parody holiday invented in 1995 by Americans John Baur (Ol 'Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap'n Slappy). They decided that everyone in the world should talk like a pirate on September 19th. This "invented holiday" became public in 2002 when Baur and Summers sent a letter about it to American print humorist Dave Barry.
Here are some fun and free resources to help you celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day with your kiddos!
