Share a story about a Black History Month honoree each day during story time. Students can make a drawing that represents what they learned about the honoree.
Give the children black, white, brown, red, tan and yellow construction paper and pencils. Assist your students in tracing and cutting out their hand prints. Using a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. as the centering guide, glue a hand print to each side of the picture and continue gluing to form a circular shape.
Provide magazines, newspapers, safety scissors, glue sticks and a large poster board. Help your students locate and cut out pictures of black men and women who have been recognized for their achievements. Let the children glue the pictures to the poster board to form a collage.
Present a different black inventor and invention each week. Ask the children to make a drawing of the invention and share ideas about the invention's significance. Stage a skit at the end of the week that allows the children to play the part of the inventor.
