Day Lesson Plans
- Flag
Day- A series of ideas and printables.
- Flag
Drag Tag- For this activity, give two flags to all students except
2-4. These students (called the runners) will have one flag in each hand
and will move (i.e., jogging, running, walking, etc.) in the designated
area dragging the flags behind them.
- Fold
the Flag- Students learn how to properly fold a flag and practice
the technique by folding paper flags!
- Our
Flag Throughout History- Students create a timeline of the history
of the flag, which serves as a quick visual reference point for discussions
of history as well as an interactive learning tool.
- Seeing
Stars- Following directions, students make five-pointed stars just
like the ones on the American flag. Included: Writing assignments for
students' stars.
- The
American Flag- Teach your students about the American Flag, including
its history, what the symbols represent, and the proper way to display
it.
- This
Is America! Flag Collage- Cut up magazines and newspapers help students
create an American flag collage -- a visual essay of their thoughts about
"what my country means to me."
- Timeline
of the United States Flag - Fourth grade learners will draw a timeline
showing the different versions of the U.S. flag from the earliest version
to the present version.
