Martin Luther King Day Word Search
Word search printables are an excellent activity for when the kids just need a break. They are educational, but more importantly, they are fun.
Word searches are one of the best games for kids to improve vocabulary, enhance cognitive skills, and foster a love for learning in individuals of all ages.
The Martin Luther King Jr. related words can be found, horizontally, vertically, diagonally, frontwards, or backwards! Just to make it that much harder!
I have also added the answer sheet, some of the words are a little tricky to find!
Tip: I recommend either using a highlighter pen or circling around the letters. Do not cross the letters out if you have found a word, as it may be used in another word!
There are 16 black history-related words to find:
Activist
