Color the Flags

YOUR FAITH YOUR FAMILY YOUR FLAG. These are principles that make up who we are. This excellent Flag Day activity increases awareness of our expansive world. Help your students learn their flag while gaining pride in their own ancestry. Learn the flags of the world with a review of the seven continents and 21 of their largest countries. Students will create a workbook that includes a picture of each country's flag and then pages for students to color their own to help them memorize. Various activities for learning using the different modalities: flash cards of each flag so they can quiz each other, a number line to place the countries smallest to largest and then create a bar graph to incorporate this data, an explanation of why we have flags with comprehension questions, a page for learners to design their own flag for their family, and a chance to place the countries in alphabetical order. Also if you have access to the app Quiver, it includes a "design your own flag" page in their education pack! Students can design their own and watch it come to life waving in the breeze! So much fun and a nice complement to this unit on flags.
