Help children understand the importance of Remembrance Day, which honours brave man, and women who have fought for our freedom. I decided to incorporate peace and heroes in my Remembrance Day theme. Poppies are worn as a symbol of our veterans; I gave each child 4 hearts and a small black flower and asked them to see how they could arrange the hearts and flower to make a poppy.

                                                                                                    

Songs/Poems                                                                 

(To the tune of “Frere Jacques”)
See the poppies
See the poppies
Oh so red
Oh so red
Growing on the hillside
Growing on the hillside
Soldiers lay dead
Soldiers lay dead
We remember
We remember
On this day
On this day
Soldiers on the hillside
Soldiers on the hillside
Far away
Far away

 

Poppy
Poppy we are but children small,
we are too little to do it all.
Children you may do your part.
Love each other is how you start.
Play without fighting.
Share your games and toys.
Be kind and thoughtful,
to all girls and boys.
Remembrance Day
We wear a poppy
On Remembrance Day,
And at eleven
we stand and pray.
Wreaths are put
upon a grave.
As we remember
our soldiers brave.
Little Poppy
Little poppy
given to me,
Help me keep Canada
Safe and free.
I’ll wear a little poppy,
as red as red can be,
to show that I remember
those who fought for me.
