Outlines for school assemblies and other resources
As part of The Royal British Legion School's CD-ROM and DVD, our education consultants have prepared a number of sample assembly programs for use in schools. There are also lesson plans, puzzles and worksheets to supplement the assembly programs.
Key Stages 1 and 2
This section contains 20 assemblies for Key Stages 1 & 2. Generally, the assemblies have been written in groups of 5 to give teachers an assembly for each day of the week, to be used in the run-up to Remembrance Day or another relevant anniversary. Some of the assemblies can also be used as stand-alone single assemblies (indicated *). All files are in pdf format.
