Studying history and geography together helps children understand both better. The more visual the details, the better, so add printable flags to your lesson plans.

Most children love coloring the flag of the country or state they're studying which helps make the class fun. Point to a map or the globe and trace the story's journey over the map so they get an idea of where they're studying.

4. Tricolor Triband Printable Flags

Since many countries use the tricolor triband format I've researched a few for which you can use a plain flag to color the particular country's flag.

It is more interesting to color flags when you know something about them. You can add to these notes with ideas that are specific to the areas  that you are studying with these printable flags.

There are two kinds of tricolor triband flags:

A. Vertical bands - With two or three colors.

B. Horizontal bands - With two or three colors.

Vertical Triband Printable Flags

Some countries have three bands but only use two colors as with:

• Nigerian Flag Coloring Page - Flag of Nigeria (green and white in the middle) 
• Peruvian Flag - Flag of Peru (red and white in the center). 

Add the silhouette of a Maple Leaf and you have the flag of Canada. See one above that has the Maple Leaf. Remember to use red on the left and right with a white center.

B. Vertical Triband Tricolor Flags To Print

It is so fun to see that there are many countries that use what's called the triband form for their flags. I found several countries and the colors are mentioned from left to right:

• Belgium Flag Coloring Page - The flag of Belgium is black, gold, and red.
• Chad Flag - The flag of Chad is blue, gold, and red.
• Cote d'Ivoire Flag - The flag of the Ivory Coast is orange, white, and green).

• Romanian Flag - The flag of Romania is blue, yellow, and red. 

There are many other more local tricolor flags, even for states and cities. 

These have three vertical bands of solid color that are each about one-third the field of the flag. There are others that have an extra symbol, especially in the center.

Horizontal Triband Printable Flags

A. Horizontal Triband Bicolor Flags To Print

These countries have a triband that is evenly spaced, but only use two colors: 

• Argentina (light blue top and bottom, white) and

Add symbols and you can create many other kinds of flags.
