Welcome to Fun with Flags, a series to enjoy with Sheldon and Amy!  

The Big Bang Theory is an American comedy that aired on CBS from 2007 to 2018.  The five main characters of Sheldon, Leonard, Raj, Howard and Penny, taught us that science nerds and pretty girls can get along just fine!  Two more characters were added in season 4, Amy and Bernadette.  They challenged their partners and added some fun themes to the show.

Sheldon and Amy were a “perfect match” according to an online dating site. It was fun to watch them interacting, especially as they filmed their vlog, Sheldon Cooper presents: Fun with Flags! 

Your task to solve this puzzle is simple.  Watch the clip(s) provided, and answer questions about the action in these Fun With Flags episodes.  

This set of clips comes from a special Valentine's Day episode, S9E15, The Valentino Submergence.  Sheldon and Amy are excited for their first live episode, but their friends have other plans and won’t be watching. Because Fun With Flags is finally a bigger part of the plot of this show, there were many smaller segments, so I apologize for the greater number of clips.  I did want to highlight the more romantic side of their relationship! heart
