Remembrance can mean different things to different people. These activities are a great way to explore what it means to your unit – from the poppy fields of the first world war, to stories of women working in the resistance during the second world war. Think too about those who protect and support us today, from police officers to supermarket workers.
There’s a different activity for each section and they’re all free to download. The activities combine craft and creativity with stories and thoughts to help girls to reflect:
