American Flag Coloring Page - w/ FREE Extension Activities!

We found this cute flag coloring page over at Crayola and thought it offered some great opportunities for learning this President's Day!

{Sight Word Coloring}. Select three focus sight words, inviting your students to follow the key and 'color by sight word'!

{Letter Find}. Use the flag as a cute backdrop for a letter find. Print upper and lower case letters all around the drawing, inviting students to find a particular letter {P for President's Day or F for Flag, perhaps} and circle or highlight it.

{Picture Puzzle}. Use the coloring page to create a puzzle! Super simple to do, divide the picture into strips and add a number to the bottom of each – 1 through 10, 10 through 20, or whatever intervals you're working on. {You could even practice skip counting!} Placing the strips in an envelope, invite students to dump them out and place the pieces in order – revealing the picture!

Of course, you can always have them simply use it as a coloring page – providing them with an example and gauging how well they can follow directions. Color placement/order of stripes is key, after all!
