    How to Talk to Kids About Remembrance Day

    Published: Nov 7, 2016 · Modified: Nov 7, 2016 by Christina Dennis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 1 Comment

    This week, we observe Remembrance Day. November 11th is a day we STOP, take a moment and remember the brave men and women that fought for our freedom. I think it's important for me to tell my young daughters about Remembrance Day and what it means.

    How to talk to your kids about Remembrance Day. Great Resources

    One of my favourite resources is this YouTube video called The Poppy Story. It's appropriate for young children (my preschoolers were able to follow it) and it talks about the First World War, In Flanders Fields, and how the poppy pins originated:

    I also found these wonderful Remembrance Day printables here on Grade ONEderful's blog. These will be perfect for Little C to work on today (she's 7), and Little A and I can do these together (she's 4).

    Let's take this day and remember the sacrifices that were made for us. I never want to take those sacrifices for granted. Let's never forget.

      The poppy story what a great way to talk about it in a way they would understand and it's not a very long video either, so it doesn't lose their attention. Thanks for sharing.
