3 Activities to Celebrate and Honor Black History Month - Every Month

As we near the end of February, we are reminded of the importance of celebrating, honoring, and appreciating the contributions, achievements, and incredible impact that the Black community has in our world. While we take time to celebrate this during the month of February, we hope that you will join Adventures in Kindness in these types of activities all year long.   

 

Discover: Discover how kids can change the world! Check out this video from Scholastic with your kids to learn more about how these amazing kids changed the world in very important ways during the civil rights movement.  

Explore: Take a trip through history in your town. With your kids, learn about the Black artists, activists, business owners, creators, and authors who are from your area, and who have contributed positively and powerfully to the place you call home. Ask your child what impact they would hope to make on their community, and what they’ll remember about the people and stories they learned about this month. 

Dream: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. inspired many people to dream of a better world, and he took actions to bring remarkable good to our nation. Work with your kids to make a list of three dreams they have for the world. Next to each dream, work together to write one way that they can work toward that dream in the coming year.
