Fun and Games in the 1700s OUTREACH - In School Version

Description

Introduce young children to life in colonial Boston through games popular in the Reveres’ era. While discussing life in the Revere household students discover how beans, thimbles, a bed wrench and other household items were incorporated into pastimes by colonial families. Students then try their hands at games such as Snail, Button-Button, Jackstraws, Beast-Fish-Fowl, and Ninepins. Fascinating details emerge about many aspects of daily life. Pre-visit materials provided.

Outreach programs are presented to one class of students at a time in their classroom or another available space inside your school. A minimum of two and maximum of three programs can be scheduled per day.

For travel to schools beyond Route 495 an additional travel fee will be charged.
