What does this European Flags Quiz Resource contain?

This European Flags Quiz resource contains a PDF  which can be printed onto A4 paper. The first sheets each contain different flags and each flag has two empty lines underneath them. Students must write the name of the country of each flag on the first line, and as an extension challenge, write the name of the capital city of each country on the second line.

The final sheet in this PDF resource contains the answers to each question of the task, including the extension task. Across the four sheets, every country in Europe is represented, with 46 flags in total. This resource is great for testing students' knowledge of the countries of Europe, as well as matching the countries to their respective flags. 

This resource is also great for use during the football season, such as the Euros. Children who are passionate about football will love the chance to show their knowledge of the European countries with this fun quiz, and it will not only help reinforce what they already know about the flags of Europe, but they will also learn a thing or two about the European countries as well. How many capital cities can your class name?

Why do so many European flags have crosses?

Lots of European countries have crosses on their flags because historically these nations were predominantly Christian, and so the Christian cross was incorporated into their flag. There are other reasons why crosses are incorporated into flags, such as Scandinavian countries using the Nordic cross, but most have a cross to symbolise Christianity.
