Remembrance Day Activities for Primary Students

Are you looking for things to do on Remembrance Day? We have an engaging set of clip cards to help your students practise counting with one-to-one correspondence. This hands-on activity will have students look at groups of objects (up to 15) and count them.

To use this Remembrance Day Activity, students will look at the pictures on each card and count them. They will then clip a clothes peg on one of the answer choices. Afterwards, students will flip the card over to see if the clothes peg matches the correct answer (indicated by a teacher-drawn star on the back of each card).

Through this activity, students will show they can count objects up to fifteen

Using Your Remembrance Day Activity

A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your maths lessons.

In addition to individual student work time, use this easy maths centre to enhance learning through small groups or whole class lessons.

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners, check out these suggestions for keeping students on track with the concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Help students who need support by inviting them to reference posters or anchor charts from previous lessons. This activity can also be completed in a small group and a handful of counters.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

For students who need a bit of a challenge, encourage them to create more peg cards by drawing objects to count.

👋 Exit Ticket 

Use these cards as a formative assessment after your lesson. Pick a random assortment of cards and project them on the board for the whole class to see. Students can record their answers on paper, sticky notes, or notebooks.
