Games and fun!

Flags and football: 32 countries have qualified for the World Cup Finals in June. Four puzzles based on their flags.

  1. Here are the flags of 11 of the teams. Which countries? The first letter of each spells out a slogan.

  1. Is it the right way up? Some flags are symmetrical, some are not.

Two sorts of symmetry are shown here:

(L) The Italian flag has a LINE of symmetry through the middle (L)
(R) the Swiss flag can be ROTATED and still look the same. This flag can be rotated 4 times, not the usual 2, as it is the only square flag!(R)

Which of these flags have (L), (R), both (LR) or no (O) symmetry? I’ve done the host for you!

S Africa(O) Australia S Korea Germany Japan Portugal

  1. You probably have friends at school from most of these countries. The next ones are less likely, as they are all small countries and a long way away. Can you match the flag to the country?

Honduras
 


N Korea
 


Cameroon
 


Ivory Coast
 


Uruguay
 


Chile
 

  1. Can you name the capital cities of the countries we haven’t mentioned yet?

  1. Who will win the World Cup? Make your prediction, write it here and keep this until the finals!

I predict that the winning country:

  • Will have a coastline (cross out all ‘landlocked’ states)
  • Will be on the Atlantic, NOT the Pacific
  • Will not have a flag on which you can count the stars.

Who does that leave?

  1. Sudoku. Medium

Solutions to the puzzles are in the ‘Passport’ section
