Create Your Journey
Decide your occupation, who youll take with you, and where youre headed! Liberty Kids - Made in conjunction with the recently launched PBS TV show of the same name, this program lets kids journey back to the American Revolution. As reporters for the Philadelphia Gazette, students interview soldiers, spies, loyalists, statesmen and townsfolk, gathering facts about seven major historical events like the Boston Tea Party and the writing of The Declaration of Independence. In scavenger hunt fashion, kids collect missing objects to get characters to answer Who, What, Where, Why and How questions. All relevant information (representing various viewpoints on each issue/event) is recorded in a notebook and later pieced together for the front-page story. The history meets scavenger hunt format is refreshing and entertaining. While children learn historical facts and opinions, they get to explore the colorful scenes and meet all sorts of interesting people. Each of the seven events contains its own set of objects to find, people to interview and scenes to explore, and results in a separate newspaper story.
