This 90-minute lesson introduces students to World Red Cross Day, celebrated every year on May 8th. Using the educational video World Red Cross Day, students explore the history, principles, and global impact of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

The lesson begins with a warm-up discussion to activate prior knowledge, followed by two viewings of the video to support comprehension. Students then engage with a printable worksheet featuring vocabulary activities, comprehension questions, critical thinking prompts, and a creative drawing task where they design a badge or slogan based on Red Cross values. Through collaborative pair work and whole-class discussion, students deepen their understanding of core humanitarian principles such as neutrality, impartiality, and voluntary service. A final quiz section reinforces key facts and encourages reflection on the importance of helping others in times of crisis.

This lesson not only builds language and listening skills but also promotes empathy, civic responsibility, and global awareness. It’s ideal for upper elementary or middle school learners and easily adaptable across different classroom settings. Answer keys are included, and the worksheet can be printed or used digitally for blended learning environments.

The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit is part of my Field Trip Unit Series. The series was created with homeschoolers in mind, but can be adapted to be used in a classroom as well. Field trips are a great way to supplement learning, but often homeschoolers don’t get any background information on the location of their field trip and want to enrich their experience by expanding the learning at home before and after the trip. These units help give information and fun activities before and after the field trip.

These units are available individually in PreK/Kinder, Elementary, and Middle & High School levels. Buying in this bundle saves you 20% off the individual prices
