Nguzo Saba Seven Principles Poster
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Nguzo Saba Seven Principles Poster" is written for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade (Ages 7-11). It also works a grade below or above: younger children can use it with an adult reading it aloud, and older ones as a quick refresher.
Nguzo Saba poster for 2nd to 5th grade: all seven principles of Kwanzaa on one page, numbered, with Swahili names, English meanings and a short line. Part of our Kwanzaa holiday activities collection.

FAQ
How do I use the Nguzo Saba Seven Principles Poster?
⌄
Post it near your calendar during Kwanzaa, or give each student a copy to keep in a folder as a reference.
What is the Nguzo Saba Seven Principles Poster?
⌄
One page with seven numbered rows, Umoja (unity) to Imani (faith). Each row gives the principle in Swahili, its English meaning and a sentence such as We set goals that help our community grow.
Can I use the Nguzo Saba Seven Principles Poster at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 2nd Grade to 5th Grade Kwanzaa resources are there?
⌄
7 printable resources, all free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are Kwanzaa resources for?
⌄
These are written for 2nd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 7-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these Kwanzaa resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
