November 11th is Veterans Day!
I think it is important to teach our children to honor the men and women who sacrifice their lives daily so we can live ours!
To help you with this I have gathered what I consider to be some of the greatest free internet resources available.
The US Dept. of Veterans Affairs has a teachers Veteran’s Day resource guide full of activities and valuable ideas to teach children the history of the day.
Enchanted Learning has a ton of Veterans Day activities.
Veterans Day activity for highschoolers.
VA Kids has some great teaching resources available including a section especially for 6th – 12th grade and K – 5th grade.
Here are 7 ways to celebrate Veterans Day with your children.
So go ahead and enjoy this special day with your kids, and remember to pray for the troops and their families who are still sacrificing today.
How will you celebrate our heroes on this day? I’d love to hear your ideas, please leave them in the comments below!

Ooop, I realized that most schools are NOT off after I posted. We have homeschooled so long that I forgot =(
I personally think kids SHOULD be off for Veteran’s Day. It’s a day that means a million times more to me than Columbus Day.
I appreciate your ideas of veterans day activities. This would be very helpful to make them realize the importance armed services. Children have to inculcate the habit of respecting armed services and also to create patriotism in them.
If you are in Wisconsin, check out the Wisconsin Veteran’s Museum-it’s free and has some fun stuff that is good for kids as well as adults. (It’s located in Madison on the Capitol Square)
