Easy Family Activity Idea: Study about the Mayflower

Easy Family Activity Idea: Study about the Mayflower
It's been 400 years since the Mayflower set sail to America. Learn more about this important part of our history as your family celebrates Thanksgiving this year. Here are a few ideas:
1. Read more about the history of the Mayflower.
2. See if you had an ancestor aboard the Mayflower; learn more in this article and this article.
4. Re-create the size of the passenger deck to show how much space all 102 passengers had in their 58' x 24' area of the ship for 66 days. For comparison, show them the size of space that would have left for each person (about 13.5 square feet each, or 4' x 3', if I've done my math correctly).
