    Activity Description

        Pre-activity Preparation

        As part of a larger unit on pilgrims and Native Americans during the 17th century, discuss with children how they think our lives today might be different from the lives of people back then. Specifically, address how people might have dressed and what sort of houses they lived in. You may want to record the children's predictions on a piece of chart paper. You may also want to read two books about pilgrims to the students: Sarah Morton's Day and Samuel Eaton's Day by Kate Waters. These books give a great background on the lives of pilgrim children.
