- Before watching our video Nuestra bandera, ask kids what they know about the American flag.
- After watching, ask, “¿Por qué creen que hay reglas para cuidar de nuestra bandera?”
- Read the magazine together. After you read, have kids retell the rules for taking care of the American flag.
- Then check comprehension skills with the Demuestra lo que sabes skill sheet.
- Children practice sound discrimination and matching letters with sounds in our ¿Cómo se escribe? game.
- Our Colorea las estrellas skill sheet is another way to reinforce the skill kids practiced in the game.

- After learning about the American flag and how it represents our country, children can make their own flag to represent themselves!
