Activity 3 – Create Your Own Flag

Evaluation – Create your own flag or coat of arms for your family. Think about the colours you will choose and why they are important. Think about the symbols and how they will convey the important values of your family – such as where you spend the most time together and the things that you like most to do. Draw the flag first and then colour it in on regular sized paper. You will need this flag again in Lesson D and Lesson G.

Or you can complete the ‘Create Your Own Flag’ activity by using felt or foam cut-out shapes that your teacher provides. Arrange & glue them to a felt rectangle in a way that signifies something special to you. Explain what this flag means once they are in place.

Red represents to remember
Green represents life
The moose represents courage
The people represent love
