I strongly believe that children should understand why we celebrate rembrance day and wear a poppy.
The following activities should help with this:
MAKE A POPPY:
Using tissue paper and the clever use of a cotton bud, children can make and then wear their own poppy!
FIRST WORLD WAR PLANE:
Even very young children can use their mark making skills to colour this picture.
POPPY BOOK MARK:
Older children can get creative to make their own book mark.
BRAVERY MEDAL:
With a small amount of help from an adult make a bravery medal , giving the opportunity to talk to children about why these were given to special people during the wars.
All of the above and many, many more can be downloaded ( some are free, or for a small joining fee even more can be found) here
As always questions, comments and topic suggestions are welcome.
Until next time.
