Martin Luther King’s birthday is this week. I thought I would share two songs for children I found on the internet about him and a wonderful art project my nephew Charlie did in preschool to celebrate his birthday.
Here are the songs:
Freedom, Freedom, Let It Ring to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
Freedom, freedom, let it ring. Let it ring, said Dr. King.
Let it ring from North to South.
Let it ring from house to house.
Let it ring for everyone,
All across the whole nation.
Let it ring for black and white,
Let it ring both day and night.
Let it ring for young and old,
Forever may its song ring bold. Freedom, freedom, let it ring.
Let it ring, said Dr. King.
Let Us Keep His Dream Alive to the tune of “This Old Man”
This young man had a dream;
In his eye, he had a gleam.
We must love each other to survive.
Let us keep his dream alive.
He believed a man was good;
He had dreams of brotherhood.
We must love each other to survive.
Let us keep his dream alive.
Let us keep his dream alive.
All join hands, let us sing;
Let the bells of freedom ring.
We must love each other to survive.
Let us keep his dream alive.
We can learn from the past;
Then we’ll all be “free at last!”
Then we’ll all be “free at last!”
We must love each other to survive.
Let us keep his dream alive.
Here is the wonderful craft:
Charlie and his classmates put handprints on each person’s paper to create unity ring of many skin tones. Then they played this beautiful dove in the center of the ring.
