Veterans Day Lesson Introduction

Welcome to Our Special Lesson!

Hello, everyone! Today, we are going to learn about a very important day called Veterans Day. Does anyone know what a veteran is?

Fun Fact: What is a Veteran?

A veteran is someone who has served in the military to protect our country. They are heroes who help keep us safe! Veterans Day is a day when we say “Thank you!” to all the veterans for their courage and hard work.

Engaging Activity: A Thank You Card

To start off our lesson, let's do something fun! We will make Thank You cards for veterans. You’ll get to use your creativity and show your appreciation.

Here’s what you need:

• Paper (any color you like)
• Markers, crayons, or colored pencils
• Stickers (if you have them)

Let’s Get Started!

1. Fold your paper in half. This will be the card.
2. On the front, draw a picture that reminds you of a hero or something that makes you think of veterans. It could be a flag, a medal, or even a soldier!
3. On the inside, write a short message. You can say “Thank you for your service” or anything special you want to tell them.

Share Your Creations

After you finish your cards, we will share them with the class! You can talk about what you drew and why you think that represents our veterans.

Let’s Dive into History!

Once our cards are made, we will explore more about Veterans Day: its history, the different branches of the military, and how people celebrate this special day across the country.

Together, let’s honor the heroes who have served and learn how we can continue to show our gratitude!
