Pilgrim Day: Experiencing Life in the Past

It’s hard for students to envision life in the past. With toys, television, and technology at our fingertips, it’s easy to understand why!

With this "Pilgrim Day" pack, students will get the opportunity to experience what it was like for pilgrim children long ago with lots of hands on, engaging activities. They will hunt and gather, churn butter, play games and tell riddles, and learn like pilgrim children learned!

Spend the day experiencing pilgrim life while reading books from my suggested book list. Compare and contrast boys vs. girls as well as pilgrim children vs. children now. Add in a writing prompt {differentiated to meet everyone’s needs} and finish the day with a mini-book all about pilgrim children.

Pilgrim day has been a hit in my room for several years now and I hope you will enjoy it as much as my students and I do!

Thanks for stopping by!
