Really simple and easy Martin Luther King Day activity. The children can use this to show what Martin Luther Day means to them (drawing or writing). This would make a great display when the hearts are cut and put next to each other. Easy to pick up so great for sub plans, early finishers and as a general quick class activity.

A quick filler or easy independent activity while you are working with a group.

Fantastic, festive fun.

A great, fun activity. Good for early finishers or for a fun, festive lesson.

Decorate a ginerbread house with this fun, festive activty. Lots of extension possibilities- design a background and who might live there.
