What's included in the KS1 All Saints' Day Activity Worksheet and why is it useful?

KS1 All Saints' Day Activity Worksheet introduces younger children to All Saints' Day. In the first question, children complete a short fact file using a word bank. As they fill the gaps, they learn that the day falls on the 1st of November, the day after Halloween, and that people light candles to remember the saints.

Children then match pictures of a candle, a halo, a church and a heart to the correct words. The final question asks them to draw someone who is kind and good, which is a gentle way into talking about what a saint is.

How do our All Saints' Day resources work?

The worksheet is written for KS1, so it suits Year 1 and Year 2. The word bank and pictures help children who are still building confidence with reading, and the drawing gives you something to share and talk about as a class. You could use it:

• in an RE lesson about Christian festivals

• as morning work around the 1st of November

• after an assembly or collective worship about All Saints' Day

• to start a class discussion about kindness
