We all sat titghtly-packed in the Mayflower eating hard-tack while listening to the story. We played marbles and learned how to play "draughts" which is also known as checkers, and spoke some "Gliffes" (tongue-twisters).
We painted candle-holders, and made bees-wax rolled candles. We held our entire class with the lights off! ~Pilgrims couldn't flip a switch to turn on the lights.
We encourage parents to read a story by candle-light before bed one night.
Questions you can ask your children:
"What is Hard-tack?"
"What was life like on the Mayflower"
"How many Pilgrims returned to England on the Mayflower?"
