Colonial Clothes- A Fun Activity

Here is a quick and fun activity to use when studying the Colonial Time Period. Students love seeing how their counterparts dressed, so have them start with the website http://www.williamsburgkids.com/people/index.html where they will learn about the styles of dress and how that differed depending on your station in life. Once they have read the information, they can check their understanding by visiting  http://www.history.org/History/teaching/dayInTheLife/webactivities/dress/dress.cfm and dressing the people.This can be a fun culminating activity for your unit or a unique way to introduce the time period.
