Five Veterans Day Activities for Your Classroom

On November 11, we celebrate Veterans Day. It’s our chance to salute veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces and to show our appreciation for the sacrifices they have made to protect our country. At first, Veterans Day was initially called Armistice Day, and it became an official U.S. federal holiday in 1938. Later, in 1954, the holiday was renamed Veterans Day. At this time, it became an official holiday honoring all U.S. veterans. Help your students connect with veterans and understand how much we owe them with these five meaningful activities.
