Examine the flag of the United States. The colors of a flag have special meanings. Ask children what they think the color red means, the color white, etc. Share the proper interpretation with the students. Bring white and black copies of flags from around the world, labeled with the color of each section.
Children can then color the flags properly.
The world is divided into seven continents. Looking at the map on p. 9, have children identify the seven continents of the world. On paper, children should list the cities under their proper continents that Mrs. Annan has visited. Have children name different cities or countries. Once class or group has developed a list of ten, see if they can identify the continent each city or country is part of.
