Dear friends,

I am Raavee, the mascot of the Arctic

Winter Games. The Games will take

place in Fairbanks, Canada on the

15 th of March. Nine teams will take

part in the competition. I wanted to

decorate my town with the garlands of

flags. But a strong wind blew and all

my flags were gone with it. Help me to

collect the flags and make

a wonderful garland.

Yours,

Raavee.
