Activities for Martin Luther King Jr. Day

January 14, by Sarah White. Leave a Comment

 

King Day is typically a time of service and reflection on what each of us can do to help make our communities better places, as well as discussions of racial equity and how our nation still falls short of King’s dream.

This year the day looks different since many of us aren’t venturing outside the home or school to do service projects, but that doesn’t mean it’s a day like any other.

We should definitely be talking with our kids about King’s legacy, especially, for kids who are old enough, in the context of the past year’s protests calling for justice. Listening to and reading King’s speeches is also great.

This activity from Scholastic is an easy way for kids of all ages to express their own dreams.

Kids in early elementary will enjoy this printable coloring book from Real Life at Home (she also has a book for older kids).

Or check out the collection of picture books, activities and videos that Becky from Kid World Citizen compiled for All Done Monkey.

I’d love to hear what you are doing to mark the occasion with your kiddos.
