💜Hello
everyone.
Get your students ready to celebrate Martin Luther King with
this engaging MLK Martin Luther King word wall from Fun To Teach.
This Packet includes 50 word wall cards, 3 alphabet headers, and an assortment of
activities you can use with your students.
As teachers we know that word walls provide a systematic visual organizer that aides children in
seeing and remembering connections between words and the characteristics that
help them form categories and schemas to remember how to use them.
🚀Support student writing by using this MLK word wall as an
organized group of large print words posted on your bulletin board or wall in
your classroom. Word walls draw attention to the words you are teaching and are
used in whole class or small group activities.
So easy, just copy, cut and post.
The phrases and words that I included in this packet are:
African-American, America, assassinated, black, bigotry, boycott,
change, civil rights, courage, demonstration, dream, Dr. King, equality,
fairness, free, freedom, great, hatred, history, holiday, honor, human rights,
I have a dream, inequity, intolerance, jail, January 15, justice, King, leader,
march, memorial, minister, murdered, Nobel peace prize, nonviolent, organize,
peace, peaceful, prejudice, race, racism, rights, Rosa Parks, segregation,
slavery, speech, struggle, tolerance, unfairness, and vote.
🎆A
word wall is most effective when it becomes an interactive part of the classroom. With that in mind I added some fun and
engaging games and activities to this packet.
One of my favorites is called - Slap It!
Here are the guidelines for this game…you can play it with any
vocabulary theme! Simple, fun and
effective!
Slap
It! .............
🙏🏿Slap It! is a fun game you can play with
children that will help them associate and reinforce MLK Word Wall
Play in groups of 2 or 3.
Have word wall cards
for each group.
Lay the cards face up on the table so that each
player can reach them. Players sit with their hands on their head. Call out the
word. The first to slap the vocabulary word gets to keep it.
If a player slaps the wrong card, they must sit
out the next round.
The winner😜 is the person to collect the most
cards.
This is a great Martin Luther King packet to use as a vocabulary
graphic organizer with your students. Just copy onto colored paper and cut and
you have your word wall ready to go!
‼️Remember that
graphic organizers help students develop higher level thinking skills and
promote creativity. They are handy tools for classroom use that guide students
through the process of organizing information. Graphic organizers make logic
out of language and help students summarize and interpret text. Graphic
Organizers are excellent tools that promote high-level active thinking in the
classroom.
