Daily Life in
Colonial America
ESSENTIAL QUESTION: WHAT WAS DAY-TO-DAY LIFE LIKE IN
COLONIAL AMERICA?
The Family
๏ต The family was the basis of colonial
society.
๏ต Families were connected to the land
they lived on because most people
were farmers and the land provided all
of their needs.
๏ต Most people married between the
ages of 18-20, which was earlier than
people in England.
๏ต Indentured servants were not allowed
to marry until their contract expired.
๏ต Slaves were not allowed to legally
marry.
The Father
๏ต The father was the head of the
household.
๏ต His responsibility was to keep his wife
and children fed, clothed, and
sheltered.
๏ต If any member of the family committed
a crime, it was the father's responsibility
to pay the fine.
๏ต The father was in charge of discipline in
the home.
๏ต Men would either work on the farm or
in a skilled trade such as a blacksmith.
The Mother
๏ต Women would typically have children
into their forties.
๏ต A woman would have between 7-10
children, but it was not uncommon to
have 12 or more. Childbirth was the
leading cause of death for women in
colonial America.
๏ต The mother was responsible for
planting and tending the family
garden, as well as preserving the
vegetables for winter.
๏ต The mother was responsible for milking
the cow and making butter.
๏ต Other duties: make soap, cook, clean,
laundry.
Children
๏ต One in ten children died before their
first birthday. Four in ten did not live to
the age of six.
๏ต Until the age of four, children were
dressed in gender-neutral gowns which
signified their non-adult status.
๏ต At the age of five, they began to be
dressed like their parents and were
given chores to help with the family's
needs.
๏ต Reasons children were put to work at
an early age: need for labor, to keep
them busy, and to build wok ethic.
Boys/Girls
โ€ข Sons most often learned the
jobs of their fathers.
โ€ข The eldest son inherited the
family farm/business.
โ€ข Sometimes a father would
arrange for his son to
become an apprentice. This
means the boy would go to
work for someone else to
learn a new trade.
โ€ข Daughters would help the
mother with her duties,
including raising the younger
children.
โ€ข Older daughters would
sometimes go to work as a
servant for a wealthy,
respectable family.
Free time/Education
๏ต There was very little free time
available.
๏ต Played board games, marbles,
tree swings, jump rope,
swimming, sledding, "rolling the
hoop".
๏ต Kids would often make games
out of chores.
๏ต Although girls were taught to
read by their parents, only boys
attended school.
Indentured Servants/Slaves
๏ต The only education provided for
indentured servants was that of
learning a trade.
๏ต The first laws prohibiting slave
education were passed in South
Carolina in 1740.
๏ต Slaves were prohibited from
learning to write, but could learn
to read.
๏ต This was because of the focus on
religion brought about by the
Great Awakening. Slaves must be
able to read Scripture if they were
to be converted to Christianity.
Schools
๏ต Boys in New England were sent to
grammar school once they had
learned how to read using the
Bible. In school, they were taught
Latin, math, and other subjects
necessary to get into college.
๏ต New England villages established
schools when the population
reached 100 families.
๏ต In the Middle Colonies, most
schools were private and run by a
particular religious group. The only
girls allowed to attend school
were Quakers.
๏ต In the Southern colonies, children
were educated at home by
parents or private tutors.
Summarizer/Extension Activity
Facebook Post
Using what we learned in today's lesson, write an
appropriate Facebook status for each of the following
colonial people: father, mother, son, daughter, indentured
servant, and slave.

Daily Life In Colonial America

  • 1. Bell Ringer Study for quiz over the First Great Awakening
  • 2. Daily Life in Colonial America ESSENTIAL QUESTION: WHAT WAS DAY-TO-DAY LIFE LIKE IN COLONIAL AMERICA?
  • 3. The Family ๏ต The family was the basis of colonial society. ๏ต Families were connected to the land they lived on because most people were farmers and the land provided all of their needs. ๏ต Most people married between the ages of 18-20, which was earlier than people in England. ๏ต Indentured servants were not allowed to marry until their contract expired. ๏ต Slaves were not allowed to legally marry.
  • 4. The Father ๏ต The father was the head of the household. ๏ต His responsibility was to keep his wife and children fed, clothed, and sheltered. ๏ต If any member of the family committed a crime, it was the father's responsibility to pay the fine. ๏ต The father was in charge of discipline in the home. ๏ต Men would either work on the farm or in a skilled trade such as a blacksmith.
  • 5. The Mother ๏ต Women would typically have children into their forties. ๏ต A woman would have between 7-10 children, but it was not uncommon to have 12 or more. Childbirth was the leading cause of death for women in colonial America. ๏ต The mother was responsible for planting and tending the family garden, as well as preserving the vegetables for winter. ๏ต The mother was responsible for milking the cow and making butter. ๏ต Other duties: make soap, cook, clean, laundry.
  • 6. Children ๏ต One in ten children died before their first birthday. Four in ten did not live to the age of six. ๏ต Until the age of four, children were dressed in gender-neutral gowns which signified their non-adult status. ๏ต At the age of five, they began to be dressed like their parents and were given chores to help with the family's needs. ๏ต Reasons children were put to work at an early age: need for labor, to keep them busy, and to build wok ethic.
  • 7. Boys/Girls โ€ข Sons most often learned the jobs of their fathers. โ€ข The eldest son inherited the family farm/business. โ€ข Sometimes a father would arrange for his son to become an apprentice. This means the boy would go to work for someone else to learn a new trade. โ€ข Daughters would help the mother with her duties, including raising the younger children. โ€ข Older daughters would sometimes go to work as a servant for a wealthy, respectable family.
  • 8. Free time/Education ๏ต There was very little free time available. ๏ต Played board games, marbles, tree swings, jump rope, swimming, sledding, "rolling the hoop". ๏ต Kids would often make games out of chores. ๏ต Although girls were taught to read by their parents, only boys attended school.
  • 9. Indentured Servants/Slaves ๏ต The only education provided for indentured servants was that of learning a trade. ๏ต The first laws prohibiting slave education were passed in South Carolina in 1740. ๏ต Slaves were prohibited from learning to write, but could learn to read. ๏ต This was because of the focus on religion brought about by the Great Awakening. Slaves must be able to read Scripture if they were to be converted to Christianity.
  • 10. Schools ๏ต Boys in New England were sent to grammar school once they had learned how to read using the Bible. In school, they were taught Latin, math, and other subjects necessary to get into college. ๏ต New England villages established schools when the population reached 100 families. ๏ต In the Middle Colonies, most schools were private and run by a particular religious group. The only girls allowed to attend school were Quakers. ๏ต In the Southern colonies, children were educated at home by parents or private tutors.
  • 11. Summarizer/Extension Activity Facebook Post Using what we learned in today's lesson, write an appropriate Facebook status for each of the following colonial people: father, mother, son, daughter, indentured servant, and slave.
