What is in the file

Eight pages, four of them the same four repeated. Pages 1 to 4 are US Letter: Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and the answer key. Pages 5 to 8 are the identical four on A4. Print the set that matches your paper and leave the other half in the file.

Round 1 is for younger readers. Six multiple-choice questions with three options each, about the things a child sees and hears on the day: the date, the two minutes of silence, the poppy, the bugle and the man who wrote In Flanders Fields.

Round 2 is for grown-ups. Six multiple-choice questions about the history behind the day, such as the year Armistice Day took the name Remembrance Day, what made Vimy Ridge a first for Canada, and how often a page is turned in the Books of Remembrance.

Round 3 is three questions with a line under each and no options to choose from. The last one asks for the words everyone says together after the Act of Remembrance, which is a good one to say out loud once the sheets are done.

The last page is the answer key. It repeats each question in grey with the answer under it in black, so whoever is reading them out is not flipping between pages.

How to print it

1. Print only the pages that match your paper. Letter is pages 1 to 4, A4 is pages 5 to 8.
2. Set Actual Size rather than Fit to Page if your print dialog offers the choice. Nothing here needs to be exactly sized, but Fit to Page shrinks the type for no reason.
3. It is black on white throughout and the busiest page is under 6% ink, so a copy for every child in a class costs very little.
4. Keep the answer key back if you are handing the sheets out. It is the last page of each set.

How to use it

This is a quiz for learning together rather than for winning, so there is no score sheet and no tiebreaker. Read the questions out, let everyone circle or write an answer, then go through the key and talk about the ones that surprised people.

With younger children, Round 1 on its own is plenty. It covers what they will see and hear on the day, so it works well the day before a ceremony. Older children and adults can carry on into Round 2, which is where most people find something they did not know.

Round 3 asks for short written answers. In a classroom it makes a quiet five minutes after the first two rounds. At home it can be a conversation instead: who was John McCrae, what happened at 11 o'clock in 1918, and why do people say "We will remember them" together.

Why there is no poppy picture on the sheet

The Royal Canadian Legion holds the poppy image, and the word itself, as registered trademarks, and its rules say the poppy cannot appear on anything distributed publicly, websites included, without the Legion's written permission. So the file has the poppy in its questions and nowhere else.

The same Legion page welcomes people making their own for personal use, drawing one for a window or crafting one to give a veteran. If your child wants to draw a poppy on the back of their sheet, that is exactly the kind of thing it describes.

Where these answers come from

We checked every answer on 4 October 2026 and again on 5 October 2026 against the people who would know: the Canadian War Museum, Veterans Affairs Canada, the Royal Canadian Legion, National Defence and The Canadian Encyclopedia.

From the Canadian War Museum: Canadians mark Remembrance Day every 11 November at 11 a.m. From the Royal Canadian Legion: the two minutes of silence fall at the hour in 1918 when the fighting of the First World War stopped, a bugler plays the Last Post, everyone answers the Act of Remembrance with "We will remember them", and the poppy is worn on the left side, over the heart. The Legion also gives the National Silver Cross Mother's role, laying a wreath on behalf of all Canadian mothers who have lost a son or a daughter in the military service of Canada.

From Veterans Affairs Canada: John McCrae was a Canadian army doctor, born in Guelph, Ontario, who wrote In Flanders Fields in May 1915. Vimy Ridge in April 1917 was the first time all four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was added in front of the National War Memorial in 2000, and a page of the Books of Remembrance is turned every morning at 11 o'clock.

From National Defence: from 1921 to 1931, Canada observed Armistice Day and Thanksgiving on the same date. From The Canadian Encyclopedia, with the War Museum agreeing: Canada held its first Remembrance Day by that name on 11 November 1931.
