  1. Can you think of a flag from your country or a country you have visited? What colors and symbols does it have, and what do you think they mean?
  2. Imagine you could design your own flag. What colors and symbols would you choose, and why? What would your flag represent?
  3. Why do you think countries have flags? How do they help us learn about different places and cultures?
  1. Flag Matching Game: Create a set of cards with pictures of the flags on one side and the country names on the other. Mix them up and lay them face down. Take turns flipping two cards at a time, trying to match the flag with its corresponding country. This will help you remember the flags and their countries better!

  2. Design Your Own Flag: Imagine you are creating a new country. What would your flag look like? Think about the colors and symbols that are important to you. Draw your flag on a piece of paper and explain to a friend or family member why you chose those colors and symbols.

  3. Flag Hunt: Next time you go for a walk or a drive, look around and see how many different flags you can spot. They might be on buildings, in front of schools, or even on cars. Try to identify which country each flag belongs to. You can also look for flags in books or online with the help of an adult.
