Women’s History Month YouTube List for the Classroom
March is Women’s History Month and I curated a good size list of YouTube videos you can use in your classroom to help celebrate the month and teach your students about many different women who have made history!
Informative Videos:
I created a playlist of YouTube videos that includes one from Kid President, a couple about why we celebrate Women’s History Month, and some specific to careers of women. Start with Kid president below and click the playlist button at the top of the video to see the other videos in the playlist.
Since YouTube does not allow users to add videos that are marked “made for kids” to a playlist, I have to include the rest of these videos as individual videos. Not sure why that is a rule with YouTube, but it is!
Created for 2nd Grade Students all about women who made history.
Explanation of Women’s History Month with great graphics and can easily lead into an activity when it asks the question at the end of the video, “Which women in your life would you like to celebrate?”
Read Aloud Video Books:
Read aloud books are great for in-person learning or distance learning and kids love them if you can’t get your hands on the physical book. Below are some great read alouds about famous (or some maybe not so famous but pretty awesome) women!
I am Rosa Parks
A Computer Called Katherine
She Persisted:13 American Women Who Changed the World
She Spoke: 14 Women Who Raised Their Voices and Changed the World
One More… So not specifically a “Women’s History Month” book, but this book has such awesome interactive graphics and read by Oprah Winfrey…and she has definitely made history!! So we are going to include it in this list for some extra fun!
The Hula-Hoopin’ Queen read by Oprah Winfrey
With any good YouTube list, also sharing the website https://video.link/ is helpful for teachers who do not enjoy YouTube ads or other videos coming up around the primary video. With this site, you can simply copy and paste the YouTube video link into the website and generate a link that will play the video in a simplified, clean video player with no ads!
Enjoy this month of celebrating women!
