With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought I’d go out and find you some short videos about the first Thanksgiving.
The videos I found are both secular and faith-based. They tell the story of the Pilgrims, Squanto, the Native Americans in the area, and the Thanksgiving feast they celebrated.
You can use these videos as part of your history lessons this year and/or on Thanksgiving Day to remind your children of the meaning behind this American holiday.
