Helpful Hints Signal flags use 5 colors. However: Only 4 colors are needed to color these signal flags. The WHITE color can be the paper itself. RED BLUE YELLOW BLACK Each flag has a small color picture at the far left of how the flag to its right should look. We recommend printing this document in color in order to see how each flag should be colored. You can cut out each flag, along with the “rope” tabs at the top on either side of the white casing. (Note: This activity isn’t recommended for very young children. Older siblings or parents should do the cutting.) Lay the tabs on top of each other, then use transparent tape to stick them together in a line (like paper dolls). Lines of paper flag banners can be taped together and put up on a refrigerator, bulletin board and so forth. To make more than 1 of a letter, print the page with that letter again. For example, to spell “BOBBY,” print 3 copies of the page with A and B on it.

reference mid-line NOTE: The reference mid-line is only to help you when using scissors to cut out the “A” and “B.” They have the triangular bottom, and the line helps to see the center point while cutting.
