Hi Wendy, Ask your Residents if anyone had a family member in the war, find out their name, where they were born, any information you can get will help in the search. You can search them in UK archives and print them out. Then read them out to everyone and present the file to the Resident. You can't believe how proud they are. Also play the songs that came out in that war and have a sing-a-long. You can also make crepe paper poppies.
I love this website. I can refer back to it in a pinch when looking for a quick project or activity for the community members I work with. There are plenty of tips, as well as instructions for the activities which are so helpful.

These activities were for VE Day during COVID-19 but I think you could adapt and modify them to use for the end of World War One
