Civil rights are a tough thing for little ones to wrap their heads around. I introduce the stories of Martin Luther King, Jr. with books (Martin's Words is my favorite). Then I ask the students to pretend they are snowmen-what civil rights would they be fighting for. Usually when I do this activity many of them will write that they do not want to melt, etc. But I think this group really applied what they learned to the snowmen's posters.
