Six small ways children can help on MLK Day, each with a picture and a tick box: care for a park, give a book to a friend, help a food drive, write a thank-you note, say something kind and make something for a neighbor. A line at the bottom is for their own idea. Since 1994 MLK Day has been a national day of service: “a day on, not a day off”. Print the PDF on Letter or A4 paper.
