About this worksheet

National symbols are pictures, places and objects that stand for a country and its ideas. The flag stands for the states, the bald eagle is the national bird, the Liberty Bell is a symbol of freedom, the Statue of Liberty welcomes people arriving by sea, and the White House and the Capitol are the homes of the president and of Congress. On this sheet a third grader looks at six pictures and writes the name of each symbol from a clue sentence.

The names are listed in the instruction, so the work is to read the clue and match it to the picture. Building Confidence gives the most direct clues, On Level describes what each symbol stands for, and Challenge Me gives clues that need some background. Ask your child which symbols they have seen on a flag, a coin or a building.
