Mayflower Day is on September 16, and it remembers a special trip from a long time ago. In 1620, a ship called the Mayflower left England and sailed across the ocean to America. The people on the ship were looking for a new place to live where they could be free to believe what they wanted. These people are now called the Pilgrims. On the Mayflower Day, we think about their big journey and how they helped start new communities in America. It's a day to remember their courage and the beginning of a new chapter in history.
How to celebrate Mayflower Day?
On Mayflower Day, you can have lots of fun! Start by making a paper boat like the Mayflower. Use paper, scissors, and glue to make your own little ship. Then, find some books or videos about the adventure to learn more. You can also draw pictures of what you think traveling on the ocean would be like. Have a special snack, like cookies shaped like ships, with your family. In the evening, share stories about brave adventures. Finally, say thanks for good friends and the chance to learn new things, just like the people on the Mayflower. It's a day for fun and imagination!
