Confession: I have loved flags since 1st Grade when I would hide the classroom flag book under my desk and read it instead of paying attention in class. Another confession: My 1st Grade birthday party was at McDonalds, and it rocked!
Back on point, I love flags for their design, color, and their story. Maybe I'll convert you into a flag nerd too :)
As you know, the flag for the United Kingdom is called the Union Jack ('Jack' is an olde term for 'flag'.)
Here are the individual flags within the United Kingdom. See if you can figure this one out...

| Flag of Scotland |
 |
| Flag of England |
 |
| Flag of Northern Ireland |
Overlay all three flags and you get this
So clever!
In 1606 the Union Jack was adopted by the United Kingdom. Today it also can be seen on the flags of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, and Tuvalu.
Regrettably, Wales is not represented on the Union Jack flag although it is a part of the United Kingdom. My son would agree it is a cool flag all to its own.
