Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day with MLK Wish Tags

Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr.’s life and message of peace and tolerance with this thoughtful, creative activity. Read this excerpt from King’s “I Have a Dream” speech with your students, then encourage them to write their own wish or wishes for a better world on the wish tag. Cut and display the wishes together, indoors or outdoors, to inspire future leaders and dreamers. These MLK wish tags can be used as part of a celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, or during a lesson on history, civics, or peace studies. Designed for first through fifth graders, this versatile project can be adapted for younger children, too.
