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!

Terms of Use

Loved this craft for my resource kids. It was a great way to incorporate the class story we read and love that it incorporated a Black History month!
This was a great resource to use in my elementary art classroom!
My students really enjoyed this!
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 use this project with my Art students at the end of the year. They absolutely love it. We do in in Red, White and Blue. It turns out very cool!
