Australia is a country full of iconic animals, unique landmarks, and rich cultural heritage. As much as I love creating math resources, I’ve recently been inspired to branch out and design some activities that celebrate our beautiful country. And today, I’m excited to share a FREE Symbols of Australia Flipbook—a fun, no-prep resource you can use in your classroom all year round!
What Is the Symbols of Australia Flipbook?
This engaging flipbook is a hands-on way for students to learn about well-known Australian symbols, animals, and landmarks. It’s flexible enough to use across multiple year levels and makes a perfect activity for Australia Day, integrated studies, or simply exploring more about where we live.
✅ Great for early learners: Colour, cut, paste, and assemble
✅ Perfect for older students: Add labels, map features, and research tasks
✅ No prep required: Just print and go!
How to Make the Symbols of Australia Flipbook
Step 1: Print a copy of each worksheet for your students. Begin by discussing the symbols together—animals, objects, and landmarks that represent Australia. Students can colour in each page and label parts of the map (such as oceans or states) if desired.
Step 2: Have students cut out each of the Australian symbols and paste them onto the correct section of the flipbook sheet.
Step 4: Stack the pages in size order (smallest on top, largest at the back) and staple them at the top to complete their flipbook.
Ideas for Extension and Deeper Learning
Encourage older students to -start=”1987″ data-end=”2022″>research the animals or symbols featured in the flipbook and present a short report or fun fact.

Use the flipbook as a launchpad for creative writing, art projects, or cultural discussions.
