3 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 30 Boston Tea Party resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Boston Tea Party activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade to 4th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
