Kids in Colonial America didn't have much time to play. Both boys and girls were expected to be responsible and behave like little adults. They had to work, learn skills, and "be seen but not heard." Until they became adults or did something really, really good or bad, kids did not receive much individual recognition. Here are a few kids that had the power to rise above the ordinary and to be recognized. Put on your thinking cap. Perhaps you can add to the list.

Thus starts this booklet by Heidi Hartwiger. It is full of fun and facts about colonial kids and includes dozens of word puzzles to test what they have learned and entice them to learn more.
