Here are a few MLK Quotes for kids. An easy way to help your children remember the words of our peaceful fallen leader is to have them recite his quotes daily. As part of our homeschool curriculum, we recite the words of MLK and other African leaders daily. As African-American people whose history is not a part of mainstream education, I think it is vital that us moms teach our children African history (or ourstory). If you haven’t already began a practice to consistently teach your children their history, having them recite a quote by an African-American who made history is an easy way to start. Here are some well-known MLK Quotes for kids and not-so-known quotes.
One easy way to get your kids to remember these quotes is to have them dictate and narrate them daily. Each morning, my boys listen, write down and practice their handwriting with African proverbs and quotes from African-American greats. This is an easy, but effective way to instill the words of our ancestors not just in their minds, but in their hearts. Here is an easy handwriting worksheet creator that allows you to plug in any words you’d like. Hope these MLK Quotes for kids help mamas!
