World War 1 had a huge impact on the lives of many women as they began to work outside the home for the first time, taking the place of men in the workplace while they were away fighting. This worksheet encourages the children to do a little research then write about the jobs women did at home and on the front.
During World War I, women took on many hard labour jobs - like shovelling coal - that had previously only been undertaken by men. Perhaps the kids can do some research on the sorts of roles that women took up as the men went to the Front, and write about them on this story paper page.
Brave women drove ambulances at the Front during World War I, and back at home too. Learn a little about them here and then use this story paper to tell their story, or make up a story about an experience.
Use this story paper for children to tell the story of women's police service during WWI, colouring in the picture too. We've provided some information about the Women's Police Service here.
