This fact book is all about having fun whilst learning about flags. Visiting 10 countries, we learn about their flags, culture, history and geography. And then we explore the flags of the United Kingdom and Ireland. Excitingly, at the end of each track, there is a quiz round – play on your own or in teams! This fact book may support subjects in the National Curriculum and is great as an educational resource in class. Also good for home-schooling, homework-help, project work, independent learning and reading for pleasure.
Flags have been used for over 4,000 years. Every country in the world has its own flag. A flag is a large piece of coloured material used as a symbol for the people and the land. Flags may include pictures or designs and these tell a story about the country, its history and the people. The colours found on flags may have special meanings too. Most flags are rectangular in shape, although one of the flags from Granny's travels is square and you'll find out which one in this pack. A flag is flown on a tall pole called a flagstaff. Flags are used for many different reasons and on different occasions, for example at the Olympic Games.
