Martin Luther King Jr. Quiz

[click on image to print]

I Have a Dream - Who Was MLK?I made a color version and a black-and-white version of this quiz, so you can conserve ink if you need to print multiple copies.

You’ll find the answer key on the final page of the PDF. No peeking at the solutions until you give it the old college try! And be careful you don’t print more copies of the solutions than you need. First specify the page you want to print, and then type in the number of copies you need.

Want to help your kids learn more about this famous Civil Rights leader? Check out Who Was Martin Luther King, Jr.? by Bonnie Bader. It’s a quick, fun, fact-filled read! You might even assign it or read it aloud first, before giving the MLK quiz. Then test to see how closely everybody was paying attention. 🙂

In the meantime, we hope all these resources will help make MLK Day more meaningful to you and your family. Enjoy your day off!

My second read for the year was an audiobook by Robert and Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth called You Can Trust God to Write Your Story.  I found it both enjoyable and encouraging. The authors take turns reading the book, detailing the stories of biblical, historical, and modern day believers and sharing the journey God has taken each of them through for their good and His glory.  #flandersfamilyreads #godisgoodallthetime

I may just decide to keep that one up all year and switch out the ornaments to match the seasons: hearts for Valentine’s, birds, nests, and birdhouses for spring, stats and stripes for Independence Day — you get the idea.  Anybody else have a hard time clearing out all the decorations after Christmas is done and dusted?  #ochristmastree #ochristmastree #howfaithfulareyourbranches
