Step 1
Create a weekly reward system for your kids during Black History Month. Give them a set of 5 questions at the beginning of the week. Tell them that if they can answer all 5, they'll get to choose a reward from a reward list you've created or add a reward of their own. Examples of rewards could be breakfast in bed, 25 tokens to their favorite arcade, etc. Let them know that there will be a grand prize at the end of the month, i.e. trip to local amusement park.
