Sometimes you need a country flag. It is useful to label a box file storing maps and leaflets before during or after a trip. You might want to add it to a blog as a heading.
But first you need to pick the right flag. Some are so similar. Lots of crosses on the Union Jack and Scandinavian flags, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland.
Lots of Crescents on other flags.
A flag which looks like the flag of the USA.
Two countries with dragons. One is Wales. The other is?
Lots of stars.
How many? Which colour? How many points?
Union Jacks with stars for Australia and New Zealand. Which is which? Which flag has the most stars - which country?
You might recognize flags with red and white stripes. But that could be Monaco or Poland or Singapore or Malaysia. Red above or below? Anything added?
What about multiple stars? That could be the EU or Linguafranca.
What about red, white and blue? That's France. Or is it the Netherlands? Vertical or horizontal stripes?
Red yellow and black. That's Germany. Or is it Belgium?
Red white and green, easy peasy, Italy. But there's another red white and green flag. And red white and orange? Which is Italy? Which is Ireland? What is the third?
Here are some flags. Get ready for a quiz! Which country is this flag from? Some hints later. If you don't like your score, read the answer and see if you can improve.
