Character-Building ABC Flags
The ABCs of Virtue!
Bring the alphabet to life while helping children discover the qualities that make us our best selves!
The Character-Building ABC Flags are a colorful, hands-on way to introduce children to virtues and positive character traits. Each flag features a letter of the alphabet along with a virtue that begins with that letter. From kindness to bravery to gratitude, children discover positive qualities while becoming familiar with their ABCs.
These beautiful satin flags make a cheerful decoration for a child’s bedroom, playroom, classroom, or learning space. But they’re much more than decorations! Children can explore the letters, learn new words, and talk with parents or teachers about what each virtue means and how to practice it.
Make Learning Interactive
The flags offer many opportunities for fun and learning:
- Learn the Alphabet: Help children recognize letters and connect uppercase and lowercase forms with words.
- Build Vocabulary: Introduce children to positive character qualities and their meanings.
- Start Conversations: Ask children what a virtue looks like in everyday life. What does kindness mean? How can we show courage? When might we need patience?
- Play Learning Games: Point to a letter and ask children to find its virtue. Or name a virtue and let them find the matching flag.
- Create a Virtue of the Week: Choose one flag each week and encourage children to look for ways to practice that quality.
- Decorate with Meaning: Display the flags as a colorful reminder of the qualities you want to encourage in your home or classroom.
A Flexible Display for Any Space
The set includes 26 individual satin flags, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each flag features both the uppercase and lowercase version of its letter, along with a virtue that begins with that letter.
The flags are easy to arrange in many ways. Connect them into one long alphabet banner, hang them in smaller groups, or create your own display. You can even rearrange them to highlight particular letters or virtues.
What’s Included:
- 26 individual satin fabric flags
- One flag for each letter A through Z
- Uppercase and lowercase letters on each flag
- A different virtue beginning with each letter
- Washable fabric
- Velcro-style tabs at the top for connecting the flags
- An open top hem for alternative hanging arrangements
- Each flag measures 7.75 x 7.75 inches
Connect all 26 flags in a single line and you’ll have a colorful display almost 19 feet long! That’s enough to stretch across a classroom or along two walls of a child’s bedroom.
Make Character Building Part of Everyday Learning
These flags coordinate with our ABC Virtues Refrigerator Magnets, which feature the same virtues. Use them together for additional letter-matching and vocabulary activities.
Families may also enjoy our Family Virtues Guide, which offers ideas for making virtues part of everyday family life.
Teachers using the Character Counts! program can use these flags to introduce a wider variety of virtues beyond its six core pillars. Many of the virtues represented by the flags complement those pillars, while others introduce additional qualities that help children develop a broader understanding of good character.
The ABCs of Virtue are a wonderful place to begin building character, one letter and one positive quality at a time!

Our children’s class had a great time playing the game ‘That’s Me’. Then the Kindergartener insisted on putting the flags in order.
