Engage your Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3 students in their learning with this interactive ANZAC Day flip book. This hands-on, printable resource allows young learners to explore essential inquiry questions, fostering critical thinking skills and bringing history to life.
 
Students cut, assemble, and colour their own flip book, building ownership of the content as they work through each page. The finished flip book becomes a resource students can revisit throughout the unit and take home to share with their families.
 
Alternatively, teachers can print the coloured version, assemble and give it to students to discuss facts about ANZAC Day. Both colour and black-and-white versions are provided.
 
Why teachers love this resource:
✅ Covers all five key inquiry questions in one simple, engaging format: what, when, why, how, and where
✅ Includes a world map and a close-up map of Gallipoli, Turkey, so students understand the geography of ANZAC Day
✅ Pre-filled with age-appropriate information, so no research time is needed, just print, cut, and assemble
✅ Comes in colour AND black and white, so you can use the colour version for display or reading groups and the black and white version for students to colour themselves
✅ Students assemble their own flip book, and the hands-on process builds engagement and pride in the finished product
✅ Finished flip books make a beautiful and meaningful keepsake that students love to take home
✅ Perfect for relief lessons as it is fully self-explanatory with zero teacher preparation needed
✅ Works equally well as a whole class activity, reading group resource, or independent task
