Flags of the World: Identify the Countries Worksheet
Using hint letters to write out each country's name from its flag helps children ages 4-6 practice spelling unfamiliar words while building a mental map of world geography and cultural diversity. Because the clues scaffold the answer rather than giving it away entirely, children also strengthen problem-solving skills as they figure out which letters must go where. This worksheet is a gentle bridge between simple flag recognition and independent word writing.

How to use this worksheet
Point to the first flag and ask your child what colors and shapes they notice before revealing the country name. Read the clue letters together and have your child work out which letters are missing, writing them into the blanks to spell the full country name. Move flag by flag across the page, letting your child compare flags that share similar colors so they start noticing differences between countries. When the page is finished, read all the completed country names aloud together as a final review.
