Making Remembrance meaningful and appropriate for children can be a challenge, but here are a few resources and places to get further ideas for school assemblies or acts of worship in church.

Remembrance Sunday – making peace by Martyn Payne of the BRF Barnabus team is a good starting point for children's leaders.

 
Also contains an act of remembrance appropriate for a school assembly on 11th November.

Thisresource from the Baptist Peace Fellowship ahs got some brilliant stuff on it including some great ideas for children's work, including using the David McKee story'Tusk Tusk'. If you haven't come across it before it's a classic! The blurb on Amazon says 'Once elephants came in two colours: black or white. They loved all other creatures - but each set wanted to exterminate the elephants that were not the same as themselves. Peace-loving individuals ran and hid in the deepest jungle, and battle commenced. The war-mongers all succeeded. For a long time it seemed that there were no elephants in the world at all, not of any colour. But then the descendants of the peace-loving ones emerged from the jungle, and by now they were all grey.'

 This story offers a way to talk with children about issues of conflict and prejudice.
