  2. Imagine you could design your own flag. What colors and symbols would you choose, and why?
  3. Have you ever seen a flag in your neighborhood or at a special event? What do you remember about it, and how did it make you feel?
  1. Flag Drawing Challenge: Grab some colored pencils or crayons and a blank sheet of paper. Try drawing the flags of Poland and Monaco. Remember, they look similar but have different color arrangements. Can you draw them correctly? Once you’re done, show your drawings to a friend or family member and explain the differences between the two flags.

  2. Flag Hunt: Go on a flag hunt around your neighborhood or at home. Look for flags in books, on TV, or even on clothing. How many different flags can you find? Try to identify which countries they belong to. If you find any flags from the lesson, share what you learned about them with someone else!

  3. Create Your Own Flag: Imagine you have your own country. What would your flag look like? Think about the colors and symbols that are important to you. Draw your flag and give your country a name. Share your creation with your class or family and explain why you chose those colors and symbols.
