Far out in the ocean is a small, mysterious island where people say a treasure is hidden. However, the young pirates can’t approach the island directly by boat, because the surrounding sea is too rough and dangerous – and they would all get seasick! Then they have the idea of building a bridge. This will help them reach their goal in safety, even though the big waves make building difficult. Keep a cool head and use your building skills, and your pirate may be the first to make a stable bridge which he can cross to reach the island and find the treasure.

The players take turns to throw the symbol dice and gradually construct a bridge with the pieces thrown. The first player to finish building a complete bridge to the small island is allowed to cross it straight away and dig up the treasure.

The parent/teacher takes a “treasure” (e.g. a couple jelly bears, or a little treasure chest) and hides it under the palm tree.
