About This Lesson
In this Thanksgiving activity, students learn all about the pilgrims voyage on a small ship across the Atlantic Ocean. Students learn about how, for the Pilgrims, freedom of religion and standing for what you believe in was more important than comfort and safety. Students also will look at who these people were, their struggles the first year in the New World, and the success of the second winter harvest that led to the first Thanksgiving.
