Flag´s rhyme or similar
 
Hi everyone!
I teach English in Argentina and we didn´t use to strike the flag with children, but we are planning to do it now. I remember when I was a student of a bilingual school we used to make silence. However, I would like my students to say something in English while we are doing it. A rhyme or something like that, but I don´t know any and couldn´t find ideas online. Can someone help me?
Thanks
Florencia

The problem is anything you can find on the net will refer to other flag no to ours.

A good idea would be that you and your mates  write a rhyme yourselves....



Edit: sorry for not being of much help....Unhappy

Hello, Floppo. why not taking the ideas in this poem?

Mi Bandera

La bandera mía
se parece al cielo:
es azul y blanca,
con el sol en medio.

¿Cómo no quererla
como yo la quiero
si en ella el retrato
de mi patria veo?

Por eso al mirarla
flotando a los vientos
de orgullo y de dicha
se me ensancha el pecho.

Por eso al mirarla
siento un solo anhelo:
ser justo y honrado,
ser valiente y bueno.

Home - Día de la Bandera

I hope it will help to write something they can say. Bye Lagringa.

Yes, I know most rhymes in english refer to other flags.
I will probably write one of my own, but perhaps someone has went through the same, figured it out and is able to share his or her rhyme...
The Spanish rhyme posted by Lagringa is really nice. I´ll try to use it as an inspiration.
Thanks!
