Remembrance Activity

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

A run-around quiz followed by 7 days of simulated battle to highlight to Cubs the losses in the Great War and why Remembrance Day is important.


Resources

The word document attached below and copies of the icons included in it.
I have added a single sheet. We found it easier to give each young Person a form. For each correct item, they (or adult running the game) circle 1 piece of equipment on the form, rather than having many small pieces to hold.

Instructions

Full instructions are included with the document. You may want to display relevant pictures to aid explanations about the conditions in the trenches. At the end you could simulate a Remembrance service for the all the 'dead' Cubs to give some sense of how war veterans must feel each year.
