Native Americans Activities for Kids
Are you looking for some fun, engaging, and intersting Native Americans for kids lessons? Children are fascinated by the original inhabitatns of the New World. Perhaps it is all the old Cowboys & Indians movies that are floating around or the idea of an untamed America where buffalo roam and tribes take care of one another while living in harmony with nature. Whatever the reason, it is wonderful to be able to teach History lessons for Kids when they are already naturally interested in the topic! Elementary age kids from preschoolers, kindergartners, grade 1, grade 2, grade 3, grade 4, grade, 5 and grade 6 students will dive into the rich, interesting culture of various native american tribes each week. Each week students will look at tribes from a different area. Learn how each tribe’s customs and how they lived are very different. These native american lesson plan include native american games for kids to make history come alive!
Woodland Tribes
The Woodland Tribes lived in the woods up and down the east coast stretching from the Atlantic Ocean towards the middle of America. Find out how archaeological digs help us get clues to the past, make an arrow with an arrowhead stone, try a friendship dance, and even make corn husk dolls if you like.
Included are black and white mini-books with lots of information about the Iroquois and Powhatan tribes for kids to read, color, and learn as well as comparison worksheets and mapping.
Plains Tribes
Once the Comanche Plains Tribes roamed roamed all over the plains of central America. They were nomadic, following the buffalo. This week you will make an epic history project your kids will remember forever! We will show you how to easily and inexpensively make a PVC tent that you can decorate just like the plains tribes did. Then, print off your weekly free printables to learn more about the tribes who called the American plains home.
Southwest Tribes
This week learn about the Southwest Tribes of the Navajo and Hopi tribes who lived in the southwest part of the United States. If you get a chance, visit the cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde. Not only will it help you understand this rich culture better, but it is an amazing experience I highly recommend!
This week make Indian fry bread, weave baskets (in a very clever, kid friendly way), and continue making printable native american mini books.
Pacific Northwest
This week venture up to the northwest corner of the United States to learn about the Pacific Northwest Native American Tribes. Kids will be fascinated by how different life, habits, and customs were for these tribes compared to last week’s southwest tribes!
This week you will read some wonderful books and make a fun totem pole craft (printable included).
Seminole and REVIEW
Last, but not least, you will take a peak at the Seminole tribe that lived it what is now Florida and then do some review to see how much your students remember. Students will love making the seminole bead necklaces to make this unique tribe come alive.Depending on where you live, check out your local history museum to see if they have exhibits about how the Native Americans who are from your area lived. This is such a great way to make history come alive to kids!
