Celebrating Veteran’s Day with Children

Veteran’s day is a time to remember, be grateful and work for a peaceful future, but how do we explain this to our children? We found a few websites that have helpful activities.

• State of Virginia website with activities for K-5
• Enchanted Learning site with games and crafts for kids of all ages
• Simple PowerPoint presentations on Veteran’s Day for kids

Another way to celebrate Veteran’s day is to visit a Veteran in your family or at a nursing home, etc. Your child can ask questions and get to know your own local hero who has given him/herself in service.

How will you be celebrating Veteran’s Day with your children?
