Flags

State and world flags are unique because each is different, as they are designed to show symbols or colors that represent that specific state or country. Classes will often display the country and state flags together. Depending on the classroom, you might even find world flags on display.

Learn a little more about another place

State and world flags come in handy when studying other countries or states as they can help you remember different aspects of the geographic region they represent. For example, these banners may show a particular animal that is significant to the state or country, while state flags will sometimes display the state seal or crest. No matter what, each flag is specifically designed to be uniquely recognizable.

Discover how flags differ around the world

Whether you are teaching geography or learning in history class, seeing national flags can come in handy when going over a lesson. World flags are a staple for history classes when talking about where people originate or where a specific part of history took place in the world, but they can be used in other classrooms as well. Authors and poets come from all over the globe, and when learning about world literature, it can be beneficial to know where that author or poet lived and during what time. National flags, like the American flag, are a great addition to the art room because, like authors, renowned artists come from all over the globe, and their surroundings and culture influence their art.
