•

In 1620, the Mayflower sailed

from England to America with more

than 100 Pilgrims onboard.  The

Pilgrims planned to settle in Virginia,

but the ship got lost during a storm.

They landed at Plymouth Rock, and

the Pilgrims decided to build their

settlement there.  While they built

their homes, the settlers lived on

the Mayflower.

DAY TWO

Daily News

Did you know that the Pilgrims

were not the first people to settle

in America? Native Americans lived

in small groups across the country.

Some Native Americans lived in

houses called wigwams, and some

lived in teepees. Other Native

Americans used snow and ice to

make their homes. Native Americans

showed the Pilgrims how to hunt and

grow crops.

DAY THREE

Daily News

I read in a book that the

chores for Pilgrim children included

gathering wood, milking goats, and

picking berries.  The Pilgrim girls

helped with cooking.  They learned

to make candles too. The boys

helped with harvesting the crops and

hunting for food.  What are some

of your chores?

DAY FOUR

Daily News

Pilgrim boys and girls played

some of the same games that

children play today.  They played

marbles, board games, and hide-

and-seek.  They had to make their

own toys. The girls made dolls, and

the boys used pieces of cloth and

wood to make kites.
