This is mainly biographical but does include one page for the Tuskegee Airmen. 

I wanted to have an assortment of figures and pulled from different books we have in the library about prominent African American figures from history and contemporary. 

Here's a list of who is included:

• Jesse Owens
• Harriet Tubman
• Bessie Coleman
• Barrack Obama
• Shirley Chisholm
• Madam CJ Walker
• Muhammad Ali
• Simone Biles
• Rosa Parks
• Jason Reynolds
• Michael Jordan
• Katherine Johnson
• Thurgood Marshall
• Tuskegee Airmen
• Angela Davis
• Mae Jemison
• Martin Luther King Jr. 
• Misty Copeland
• John Lewis
• Leah Chase (this is the woman who inspired Disney's Princess and the Frog)
  
• Frederick Douglass
• Ruby Bridges
• Charles Henry Turner
• Serena Williams
• George Washington Carver
• Jackie Robinson
• Maya Angelou
• Bass Reeves

Each booklet takes about 8 (?) pages to print so it does involve using up some paper. 

Assembly: Once printed off, each page was cut along the dotted line, put in chronological order and stapled into a booklet.

If this is something you're interested in, here's the link to the PDF.

Click HERE for the LINK but keep reading for some tidbits about printing . . . 

Tidbit #1: If you can, print (1) front and back and (2) flip on the short edge

Tidbit #2: This is only relevant if you want to save paper. There will be an odd number of pages in the assembled booklet so to save paper, I made pages 15 & 16 of the PDF identical. Here's a visual to explain better what I want to say . . .

If possible, I would suggest setting a custom print of 1-14 for the exact number of booklets you need. Because PDF pages 15 & 16 will give you 2 identical booklet pages, print off half the number you need for those pages.

 This game was designed for a Boxcar Children book spotlight but ended up being its own thing.

For this game, players align cars in order based on the symbol. So the locomotive has a yellow diamond, the next car should begin with a yellow diamond.

As you can see, the car that begins with a yellow diamond ends with a blue arrow. You would need to find the car with the blue arrow next and so on and so on.

Here's a template I made if you want to use my train cars! 

The shapes were had drawn and traced onto scraps of paper.

After I had cut my train cars and attached my shapes and wheels, I laminated these guys. 

This was because I knew I wanted to put them on the magnet board and felt they needed an extra layer of stability. 

After they were cut out from the lamination film, I just stuck some magnets on them and they were ready to go!
