7. Learning Activity: Flag of Thailand
   • The word ‘Thai’ means ‘freedom’, so Thailand literally means: “Land of the Free”. The Thai are proud that they are the only southeast Asian country that has never been occupied by another country.
   • The colors of the Thai flag are significant. The red signifies the Thai people, the white the purity of Buddhism, and the blue the king and the monarchy.
   • The activity today is to construct a Thai flag. It is to be used as a prayer reminder for the month. Choose from the following three activities the best one for your classroom:
     1. Color the Thai flag. Laminate if possible. Hang on wall or put magnet on back and hang on refrigerator.
     2. Construct a Thai flag using construction paper. Laminate if possible. Use as a placemat. This is a great reminder to pray at mealtimes for the country of Thailand.
     3. Make a Thai door hanger.
