Instructional Ideas

  • Project the puzzle onto the board during a unit on Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • Send printed versions home for homework

Classroom Considerations

  • Game plays "Battle Hymn of the Republic" before and after play, and Martin Luther King, Jr. quotes after correct answers; have class members wear headphones or mute their devices to avoid distraction
  • Learners should have prior knowledge of the civil rights movement and of Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Pros

  • Users have the potion to play online or print a worksheet
  • Refreshing the page or restarting the game scrambles the puzzle for a new version

Cons

  • None
