2 A New World  Coloring Page! Coloring Page!  In the year 1620, Pilgrims sailed from England to look for a New World on a ship called the Mayflower. The voyage took 65 days and it was a difficult journey.

3 Arrival to the New World The Pilgrims landed near Plymouth Rock and began building homes. During the first winter, many people died because there was not enough food to eat.

4 Wampanoag Tribe In 1621, the Pilgrims became friends with the Wampanoag tribe of Native Americans. This tribe helped the Pilgrims learn how to hunt and plant crops. Video Clip!

5 Fall Harvest The fall harvest in 1621 was so good and the pilgrims were so grateful that they invited their Native American friends to a feast.
