As a Black Speech and Language Pathologist, Black History Month is one of my favorite times of the school year. I love being able to share the amazing contributions African American people have made to society with my students. Here are a few activities that are free and can be found online at [**teachers pay teachers.com.**](http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/)

**![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/C0FWDk5FCqRAfo_-eBPiPwFD111AfaAuYBla9gwmZY8t0wsW_Lpl1l27i7QOgHz8clA5hIIGtp1JMJ4PomN6YalQZne7_hZZt_jzqpPNIPJLyIv7rmArcw6dlK9IeIVBcHf3ke4p)**

**Compare & Contrast:** Perfect language activity for students working on comparing and contrasting different ideas.  Students will learn a bit about great Black civil rights leaders who still have great influence today while addressing language goals.

**African American Historical Figures** Great activity to work on vocabulary and listening comprehension skills while discovering historical African American figures.

**MLK Articulation /z/ in Final Position:** No prep activity for students working on /z/ in the final position of words. 

**Great Reads to Introduce to Students:**

I hope you and your students find these activities fun and educational. Happy Black History Month!
