About ANZAC Day Resources
ANZAC Day teaching resources help Australian primary teachers explore the significance of ANZAC Day with their students in a way that is age-appropriate, historically accurate, and respectful of those who served. Observed on 25 April each year, ANZAC Day commemorates the landing of Australian and New Zealand troops at Gallipoli in 1915 and honours the service and sacrifice of all Australians who have served in war, conflict, and peacekeeping operations. Quality ANZAC Day resources help teachers navigate this important and emotionally complex topic with care and depth.
TeachBuySell's ANZAC Day collection includes historical information texts, primary source analysis activities, ANZAC story reading and comprehension resources, poppy craft projects, ANZAC biscuit recipe activities, letter writing from the perspective of a soldier or family member, HASS inquiry resources, and Remembrance Day and ANZAC Day ceremony resources. Browse unit plans, research activities, creative writing prompts, classroom display resources, and commemoration activities appropriate for the full range of primary year levels.
ANZAC Day teaching is most powerful when it helps students connect to the human stories behind the historical events — the individuals who served, the families they left behind, and the communities that supported them. Many resources in our collection centre these personal stories, helping students develop empathy and genuine understanding of the significance of ANZAC Day to Australian identity and values. Browse our ANZAC Day collection to find resources that help your students commemorate with knowledge, respect, and heart.
