Waitangi Day - Flag Craft

A simple craft activity for your students to make to celebrate Waitangi Day.

1. Colour the flag on the front and the writing on the back.
2. Cut around the outside border.
3. Fold in half. Place a wooden skewer (or similar object such as a drinking straw) at the half-way point.
4. Glue the inside so the two halves stick together.

Templates for these 4 Flags:
* Flag of the United Tribes of NZ – the first national flag, adopted in 1834.
* Union Jack – NZ’s flag after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
* New Zealand Flag – formally adopted in 1902.
* Tino Rangatiratanga (National Māori Flag) – launched shortly before Waitangi Day in 1990.

Refer to the images above to see 3 of these flags.

2 templates per A4 page.

Sharp colouring pencils or fine-tip markers are best to use in this activity (especially for the NZ flag as the areas to colour are quite small).

Approximate size: 13.5cm x 7cm when finished.
