Thanksgiving CEIP Mestre Guillemet

2. Americans of all religions celebrate
Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of
November.
Thanksgiving is a special day for families and
people travel long distances to be with their
families.
They give thanks for the food and blessings

3. The tradition started
when in 1620 a group of
men , women and children
left England on a ship
called Mayflower.
They were pilgrims and
they wanted to start a
new life in the New
World

4. The voyage was very
hard.They were cold and
hungry and many of them
died.
The voyage took 65 days.
They landed on the north –
east coast of North
America. What today we
know as Massachusetts.
When they arrived it was
almost winter so they had
no time to grow crops. The
winter was long. Very few
survived.

5. In spring native
Americans, the
wampanoag Indians,
helped them.
They taught the pilgrims
how to grow corn, how to
hunt and how to fish.
The summer harvest was
very good and by
november, a year after
their first arrival, there
was food for everybody.

6. The pilgrims wanted
to celebrate it and
invited the native
Americans to a
great dinner where
they gave thanks to
God for the food.
That was the first
Thanksgiving dinner.

7.  Today the traditional thanksgiving meal is
similar to the first. They eat roast turkey
with cranberry sauce, potatoes, corn and
pumpkin pie.
 The meal take hours to prepare
