You may think not going to school would mean all fun and games for colonial kids but it wasn't like that at all. Colonial kids had lots and lots of chores to do everyday like chopping wood, churning butter, going out hunting, learning to read and write, watching younger kids. Boys learned to shoot and helped their dads. Girls learned to mend clothing and cook to help their mothers. They had no electricity. They had no tv, no computer, no air conditioning, no Gameboys but they did play games when they finished their chores. A colonial kids life seems hard. It doesn't sound so fun and we feel bad about it.
