Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918…
Continues on next slide

7. Engage
…Hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month“.
The red remembrance poppy has become a familiar emblem of Remembrance Day due to the poem "In Flanders Fields". These poppies bloomed across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in World War I; their brilliant red colour became a symbol for the blood spilled in the war.

8. Engage Some discussion ideas …
What are the reasons that nations go to war against other nations?
How can we stop war?
Activity suggestion …
Design some poppies with words about peace and ending war on the petals. Maybe create a classroom display.
Video suggestion … How a Remembrance poppy is made

9. Respond Amen Ever-living God,
we remember those whom you have gathered from the storm of war
into the peace of your presence;
may that same peace calm our fears,
bring justice to all peoples
and establish harmony among the nations,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Church of England Prayer for Remembrance Day
