American Flag Trivia Cootie Catcher

Kids in elementary school seem to go through a cootie catcher (or fortune teller) phase, where they are always folding up these little designs and making up their own games.

This cootie catcher printable from Red Ted Art includes American flag trivia questions, which makes it perfect for Flag Day, but you could also use it around Memorial Day or the Fourth of July.

You can print out her version with the questions already on it, or use some of the trivia in the post to write your own questions and answers.
