Description
This 13 Colonies Unit Bundle gives you everything you need to teach the Thirteen Colonies from start to finish — a complete 15-lesson unit plus a 5-map activity set that adds a visual, skills-based layer to what you’re already teaching.
Buy them together and save 10%.
Together, these resources cover the full arc of colonial America: the physical landscape settlers encountered (land that was home to Native Americans long before colonization), the founding and organization of each region, the economies that grew from local resources, and the realities of colonial life and slavery — all reinforced through maps, primary sources, games, and hands-on activities.
Why You’ll Love This Bundle
Two Resources, One Cohesive Unit
The 15-lesson unit builds deep content knowledge — reading, discussion, simulations, and games — while the 5 maps reinforce that same content visually, so students aren’t just reading about the colonies, they’re tracing, labeling, and analyzing them.
Ready-to-Use
Everything is print-and-go: lesson plans, worksheets, articles, task cards, hand-drawn maps, and answer keys included. No prep beyond printing.
Built for Busy Teachers
Planning a complete colonial America unit from scratch is tedious and time-consuming. This bundle hands you a full pacing guide, editable test, and every worksheet you need — so you can spend your time teaching, not building resources.

This Bundle Is For You If:
- You want a complete colonial America unit and a visual, skills-based supplement in one purchase
- You want print-and-go resources with zero extra prep
- You want students reading, discussing, labeling, and analyzing — not just filling in worksheets
This Bundle Is NOT For You If:
- You only need one component (both are also sold separately)
- You’re looking for a fully digital, Google-Slides-only resource (the map set is print-only by design)
How to Use in the Classroom
Teach the 15-lesson unit as your core instruction, then use the map activities alongside each week to reinforce content visually— for example, Week 1’s Southern Colonies lessons pair naturally with the physical and economy maps. The reflection activity works well as a culminating assessment once the unit and all 5 maps are complete.
