Teach Through Educational Travel: Symbols, Shields and Coat of Arms in Spain
A variety of shields in Spain

Download this image of shields in Spain. Show the image to your students in class and try the following activities to get your students involved in learning about symbolism in shields and the coat of arms.
  • The symbols on a shield were the coat of arms of the family, identifying the person, especially in battle. Choose one of these shields and explain what the colors and symbols represent about your family.
  • Research the coat of arms of Spain. Investigate the colors and shapes used, as well as their placement on the shield.
  • Ask students to design their own coat of arms

Just for fun, here is a version we designed:

We'd love to hear your ideas! If you've done a lesson on the history of the shield and coat of arms around the world, let us know in the comments section! You could be our next guest blogger!
