Juneteenth 2022

Activities from our 2022 Super Summer Celebration

Take some time to learn about why African Americans celebrate Freedom Day.

Juneteenth Storybook Scavenger Hunt

Visit your local library or your home library to find all the items on our list. If you can’t find it on the cover, search the inside of the book!

Art twist: Now that you’ve learned a little about Juneteenth, create your own Juneteenth Flag using this guide from African American Museum of Iowa. Keep the fun going! Make a Pan-African flag, also a symbol of black liberation.

Juneteenth Word Search

Find each word in our word search and think about how it relates to Juneteenth. If you don’t know what a word means, ask a parent to help you look it up!

Art twist: try to make a pattern with all of the horizontal words and a different pattern with all of the vertical words.

  • Pattern: a repeating decorative design

  • Horizontal: lines that go side to side, or parallel to the horizon line.

  • Vertical: lines that go up and down
