A SIMPLE RECITAL FOR REMEMBRANCE DAY OR VETERANS DAY
I’ve used this recital with my primary classes. Fortunately, it doesn’t require much preparation and what it does need is neatly laid out in this easy to use package (other than the red bristol board and the 11 X 17 photocopy paper). Due to the large, red poppies, it creates a visually engaging performance. If your class has more or fewer than 24 students, it is easy to eliminate some verbs or brainstorm other verbs for the presentation.
Your job will be to:
