Engage your students in a hands-on MLK Day craft that highlights the impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the importance of Black History Month. As they work together to assemble this large, eye-catching poster, they’ll reflect on Dr. King’s legacy and the power of unity. With 35 individual pieces, this activity is perfect for large classes, while smaller groups can have early finishers complete extra pieces. Ideal for bulletin boards, classroom doors, and hallway displays, this project brings history to life in a meaningful and creative way!

This poster measures 30” wide by 60” long, making it a perfect fit for most classroom doors or bulletin boards. It includes two options: a color-by-code version for a uniform look and a free-color version that lets students add their own creative touch. An answer key is also provided for easy reference.

When Printing:

Please be aware that printer settings may alter this result and may have to be adjusted. Choose “actual size” when printing for the exact measurements. Choose “fit” if you would like it a bit larger. If hanging your poster on a door, it is recommended to choose “actual size” since most doors are 30” wide.
