1 New England Colonies By:Sydney Pak, Natalee Bradley, Alyssa Blanc, Bryce Haldeman, Brandon Mayle, Victoria Serena, Louis Janowicz, and Corey Phillips

2 Food By: Alyssa Blanc The colonists of New England had a limited food supply. They could only eat what was grown in the area, the animals in the area, and food from England. Now a days, we can get food from all over the world by just driving to a restaurant close to your house. Back then it wasn't that simple. Back then, before eating, people would have to go out and hunt their food. If they were having vegetables or fruits, they would go looking for ripe food in the fields or in the woods. When wanting to grow a crop, first the colonists would have to plant crops and clear land. When eating food that was stored from England, the colonists would have to ration the food into even amounts. Don't you feel so lucky?

For country schools, they used plummets instead of pencils. These were made of melted lead and cast in wooden molds cut out by the jackknife.

12 Toys and Entertainment By Bryce Haldeman The New England Colonies had many toys and other things for entertainment. some of their games included Hoops, Droughts, Nine Men's Morris, and chess. In hoops they would usually make a wood or iron hoop and a crook which is a stick with a hooked end,and they would hit the hoop with the crook and it would allow the hoop to speed up. The objective of this game was to chase your hoop and make it go as fast as you could. This game would test their speed and dexterity.
