1. Talk about activities, character traits or objects that describe your family.
2. Decide how you want to decorate your flag. Do you want to draw a tree, a cross or a horse? Use colors and stripes to stand for important characteristics:
Green = Hope
Blue = Truth
White = Purity or Peace
Gold = Generosity
You can use a star to represent each person in your family. Maybe have triangles stand for your pets. Be creative.
3. Attach your flag to a wooden dowel and hang in your home. Then your family can see it and remember to stand strong together.
