Martin Luther King Jr. Art Game
Need a Martin Luther King Jr. art project inspired by the “I Have A Dream” speech for your bulletin board? Imagine your hallway decorated with these freedom flags and writing prompts. The step by step drawing guide, flag template, PowerPoint and demonstration video make perfect no prep, art sub plans for elementary art.
That’s right. Sit back while I teach your students how to play the roll a dice game to draw and paint their MLK Day art project myself! Kids can also choose patterns using the ‘you pick’ worksheet or digital spinners—whatever works best for you!
Plus, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan creative Martin Luther King Day activities using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers!
What’s Included In MLK Day Art Project
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this art project. All will motivate kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” art worksheet for kids to choose their own patterns
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick patterns and you can integrate technology
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- MLK, Jr. freedom flag template which kids can draw directly on it or transfer it to heavy drawing paper
- Drawing practice worksheet, so kids can practice drawing patterns
- 2 Writing prompts, so you can tie this drawing project to literacy
- 2 Coloring pages that you can use for absent students or hand out as a classroom prize
- Helpful Tips & Tricks handout with teacher directions to help guide the lesson
- Step by Step Video Tutorial, with optional captions

My students enjoyed this activity. I liked that it was something they could pretty much do on their own. I had a substitute this day and they said it went really well. They all turned out so cute too so I put them in the hallway.

I bought this as an emergency sub activity. It turned out great, even with having a sub go over it! So great, in fact, that I ended up putting them out in the hallway.
