For preschool children, coloring can be an effective way of developing an understanding of the historic events and background that led to the Battle of Gallipoli. Examples of images suitable for coloring include an Australian or New Zealand nurse, horses involved in the war, an Australian or New Zealand soldier, or a local war memorial.
Quizzes are an effective method of developing children's understanding of Anzac Day. An example of a question that might be asked in such a quiz is, "What event does Anzac Day commemorate?" to which the answer is "The Battle of Gallipoli.'' Another example question is, "Who were the Johnnies and the Mehmets?'' to which the answer is "The Johnnies were the Anzacs and the Mehmets were the Turks.''
One of the symbols of Anzac Day is the poppy. There are many opportunities for crafts based around poppy making, poppy wreath-making, and making giant poppies. Poppies can be made either from craft paper or designed on a computer and printed out.
Computers can be used to research Anzac Day, the Battle of Gallipoli, and the history of Australian and New Zealand military conflicts. The Internet is a rich source of historical resources. These can form the basis of essays, reports, and class presentations on Anzac Day.
