Pilgrim children spent much of their day working, but sometimes, their parents allowed them to play games that improved their bodies or minds.
Detailed explanation-2: -They helped care for younger siblings, hauled wood to keep their houses warm, carried water for the cooking, and, when there was time, they learned to read. The Pilgrims believed that it was very important to read the Bible.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Pilgrims tried to extend the life of their foods through preservation. Salting, the most common method of preservation, worked well for pork (meat from pigs) and fish. This method was sometimes combined with smoking for meats. Drying was also common.
Detailed explanation-4: -What were men and women’s roles in the Wampanoag tribe? Wampanoag men were hunters and sometimes went to war to protect their families.
