This worksheet uses 13 multiple-choice questions to help kindergarten students recognize Black historical figures, achievements, cultural contributions, and important dates. Students distinguish people such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Barack Obama, Arthur Ashe, Phillis Wheatley, and James Weldon Johnson, while recalling milestones including Obama’s 2008 presidency, the 1904 Olympic achievement, and MLK’s 1968 assassination.
Introduce the worksheet by showing or reading brief, age-appropriate information about the people and events named in its questions. Read each multiple-choice item aloud, pause for students to explain what they know, and discuss why an answer matches a person’s role—for example, connecting Arthur Ashe with tennis or James Weldon Johnson with the writing of Lift Every Voice and Sing. Use the answer choices as prompts for a guided class conversation rather than requiring independent reading of every question.
Students may confuse the worksheet’s similar-looking dates, especially 1904, 1968, and 2008, or select a familiar name without matching it to the correct achievement. Watch for confusion between James Weldon Johnson as the writer of Lift Every Voice and Sing and other names in the choices, as well as between people associated with sports, public office, law enforcement, and education. Reading the choices aloud can also help kindergarten students focus on the distinction between each person’s role.
The worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, so you can choose paper-based or online practice.
