- Cut out either a triangle or rectangular shape from any medium suitable
for colouring or painting on. This could be construction paper,
cloth, butcher paper etc...
- Glue one edge onto some type of stick. This can be a small twig
from outside, a cooking skewer, a chopstick, etc. Ensure it can allow
the children to wave the flags around without it breaking.
- Ask the children to think about what best represents them (in the same
manner a country's flag design represents it). You can ask younger children
to choose their favorite animal, food, etc. anything that THEY FEEL best
represents them.
- When the children have made their choice, they can draw / paint this
design onto their flag.
- The flags could then be used to decorate the classroom. You could also
mix up the flags and have a competition in which the children guess who
drew each flag.
An alternative idea contributed by Jemma Whittle...
Cut out a base shape of a shield and draw around to make more if needed.
Then divide the shield into four sections. Then get the children to put four
different pictures on to the shield that has something to do with them. e.g
Hobbies, First letter of name, Pets. Then each child will have a coat of
arms to take home or put on display.
