Sharing the Dream of Dr. King
Kindergarten - 6th Grade
This activity is appropriate for: kindergarten - 6th grade / 5 - 11 years Read or listen to a recording of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. (For younger students with shorter attention spans, you may want to select a small portion instead of the entire speech.) Afterward, discuss some of the ways Dr. King was hoping to accomplish peace among people. Then, engage students in a follow-up activity that allows them to express their own ideas of how we can live in harmony with one another: For Grades K–2: Have students draw a picture of ways they can spread peace to one another (e.g., sharing, making friends, helping each other, etc.). Then have them complete the sentence “I can bring peace by _______________.” For Grades 3–5: Have students write about ways they can get along with others and spread peace. For Grades 6 and up: Ask students to explain what Dr. King meant when he called for people to be “judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character,” and share some examples of when and how they can do this.

Pin the Tail on the Turkey
Pre-K - 1st Grade
This activity is appropriate for: pre-k - 1st grade / 4 - 6 years Print out this turkey template. As a variation of a familiar classic, have students take turns pinning the “tail” on the turkey. First, cut out the feather portion of the turkey template and trace it onto different colors of construction paper. Cut out each feather. Then cut out the turkey’s body and attach it to a wall or door. Give each student a tail feather and have each child print his name on a feather. Loop a piece of tape, sticky side out, and attach it to the backside of the feather. One at a time, blindfold the students and have them spin around once or twice, then instruct them to walk toward the wall and pin their “tails” on the turkey! The student who pins his “tail” closest to the correct spot on the turkey wins.
