Help children learn the
semaphore system.
"The current flag semaphore system uses two short poles with square
flags, which a signalman holds in different positions to signal letters
of the alphabet and numbers.
The signalman holds one pole in each hand, and extends each arm in one
of eight possible directions.
Except for in the rest position, the flags do not overlap.
The flags are colored differently based on whether the signals are sent
by sea or by land.
At sea, the flags are colored red and yellow (the Oscar flag), while on
land, they are white and blue (the Papa flag)." (Wikipedia)
