Flag Snack
Use a graham cracker (you can break it in half or use a whole one)
or a rectangle cookie. Decorate the crackers or cookies with
colored frosting. Use different tips for the cake decorating
set. (You can use my recipes: Sugar
Cookies or Dairy-free
Sugar Cookies.)
Arts & Crafts
Painted Flag Craft
Display a United States flag for the children.
Make a flag using red, white, and blue tempera or kids paint.
Use a large paper bag or thick paper (or even a flag pattern
(coloring page) on listed above). Paint the stripes and stars
on the flag (for the U.S.A.). (or glue the star printout found
at: The
Pledge of Allegiance (under Art) onto the white piece of
paper.) If you have younger children, you might want to make
the stripes ahead of time and use edible finger
paint instead of paint. If you are from another country
or want to make another countries flag, use a flag pattern to do
this craft.
Paper Flag Craft
Display a United States flag for the children.
For the U.S. flag, cut 7 strips of red paper to the size of a white
piece of paper (or color them with a red crayon). Glue the
star printout found at: The
Pledge of Allegiance (under Art) onto the white piece of
paper. Color around the stars. Glue a strip of paper on
the left side of the flag. Wave your flag on Flag Day or The
Fourth of July (4th of July).
For the United States (U.S.A): Use a small flag (eg. Coloring
with
Ben @ Ben's Guide or American
Flag
Coloring Page @ Activity Village). Color or paint
it. (Let dry if you are using paint.) Tape a chopstick
on it. Wave the flag.
You can talk about the different parts of the flag. (For
younger children, make it simple.) Go to Ben's
Guide (K-2): The Flag of the United States for an
explanation of the flag.

Special words for celebrating Flag Day (U.S.) are given for songs

Pencil Flag
"In light of the recent tragedy and flag shortage I created the
pencil flag. It was originally sent out via email only, but
due to the wonderful response, mostly from schools and daycares, my
brother Joe and I decided to create a website Pencil Flag. "This is
a free site and the pencil flag, according to the responses, seem to
help kids cope with the recent events by utilizing their
creativity." On their web site it states: "This flag is
dedicated to all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001."
They also have a free t-shirt iron on and a window flag at their
site
