3 Black History Month Assembly Ideas

February 25, 2020

Here are 3 Black History Month, assembly ideas for your elementary school that are fun and easy to do!

1) Rap Song

Have students perform a rap song like the one below about a Black history hero. Students can write their own or perform along to the song here.

2) Skit or Play

Have your students perform a skit or play about notable figures in Black history. Use the skit listed below or have students create their own.

3) Dance or Musical

Have your students create a dance to the song below to dramatize the song lyrics about Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass, Henry “Box” Brown, and Jackie Robinson. If you and your students are really up for a challenge, you can write a musical that connects each of the songs in the mix below.

You can also check out our plays, musicals, and reading activities for more Black History Month assembly ideas here. Use them to cover Black history all month long in February. Have your students rehearse for a play or musical while practicing reading skills such as synonyms and antonyms, context clues, sequencing events in a story, and identifying root words and affixes.

Thanks for reading! More great content is coming soon! Until then, happy teaching! And remember to get your monthly freebies using the form on the right!

    Do you have a video of someone signing the Rosa Parks rap? My students want to try it and it will help them to hear it first. I purchased it on TPT. Thank you for creating it!

      Hey, Julie. Thanks for the comment. These are the only videos for the song, which are just moving images of the Rosa Parks pictures with the song playing. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Bus-Boycott-Was-Weak-Black-History-Song-for-Rosa-Parks-Reading-Activities-5141100 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTTjwa07uws I’ll work on creating a live performance video of the song and upload it to TpT and YouTube when it’s done. Let me know if you need anything else! Thanks again for the comment and please leave any feedback for the song and its activities on our TpT page. Thanks! – Ken with Rap Opera for Kids
