Dive into the American Revolution
Exploring the American Revolution: Engaging Resources for K–8 Learners
At Braintree Academy, we believe history comes alive when students can explore it from every angle. The American Revolution was more than just Patriots vs. Loyalists—it was a complex moment in history filled with diverse voices and perspectives. To help families and educators bring this era to life, we’ve gathered a variety of lesson plans, printables, games, and interactive activities designed for K–8 students.
From original DAR lesson plans and our very own Braintree Academy Unit Study | Voices of the American Revolution to free teacher resources on Share My Lesson, Edhelper, and Mount Vernon, these tools offer hands-on ways to study primary sources, analyze documents, and think critically about history. Students can also immerse themselves in interactive simulations, virtual tours, educational games, and animated video series like Liberty’s Kids to experience the Revolution in a fun, engaging way.
