Historical Attire

You don’t have to spend tons of cash to have fun dressing in colonial attire! Check in your own closet or your parents’. Craft, fabric and consignment shops have lots of great supplies that don’t cost a lot.  Be sure to ask your parent’s permission when making your outfit.  Students with Character Cards will be awarded extra points for dressing as your person from history and bringing your assigned prop.  Check the bottom of your Character Card for suggested props.  Remember, do not bring toy guns to school.

See our Photo Gallery for examples of students in colonial dress.
