Help!?
What can we use instead of a wooden stick or straw to attach the paper flag if we don't have one?
Use a pencil, chopstick, or a sturdy cardboard strip and secure it to the paper flag with tape or glue during step 11 so it holds when you wave it.
My flag keeps coming loose when I wave it—what should I check or do differently?
Make sure the tape or glue from step 11 wraps fully around the stick and flag base, or add a second layer of tape and let glue dry completely before practicing in step 13 to keep the flag in place.
How can I change the activity for a younger or older child?
For younger kids, shorten step 5 to a single 15–20 second sentence and let them draw the big idea in step 7, while older kids can expand step 5 into a 2–3 minute speech with an extra reason and design a two-sided flag in step 8.
What are simple ways to personalize or extend the speech and flag after finishing the basic steps?
Add glitter or fabric to the flag in step 8, build a small cardboard podium for step 13, record your performance on a phone, and then share the video on DIY.org in step 15.
