Our flag and our holidays

Ages 3 to 5 Read and do together · about 15 minutes

Read together

A flag shows who a group of people is. It has colours and shapes.

A holiday helps us remember something special.

Do it

1. Look at the flag of your country, or of a place your family comes from. Name its colours and shapes.
2. Ask a grown-up what a holiday your family keeps is about.
3. Draw the flag and a holiday you love.
4. Look at one other flag and say how it is different.

Talk about it

• What colours are in our flag?
• What do we remember on this holiday?

For the grown-up

Flags and holidays help children belong to a place and a story. Keep it warm and open. Some holidays are happy and some are solemn. Respect the feelings of families from many places.
