Colonial Kids

Program Length: 2 hours
Grade Level: K - 2

This program includes several hands-on experiences through the following activities:

Early American Toys and Games: Students get the opportunity to play a variety of games that were played by children during this time period.
Investigation Station: This hands-on station offers students the opportunity to investigate and touch a variety of replica artifacts. Children have the chance to observe using all their senses and make inferences before they find out what each object is!
Stone house Tour: Students will be guided through one of our stone houses from the 1700s to see what daily living was like. They will be asked to compare and contrast their own life to that of a boy or girl during colonial times.
Wigwam Tour: Who were really the first people here on this land that we now call Huguenot Street? What did their homes look like? Where are they now? These questions and more will be answered as students get a closer look at our authentic replica wigwam.

*Adaptations and modifications are made for the needs of your class depending on age and ability.
