Who is Alexander Hamilton? I love when a Broadway show can turn almost all of the world into a history buff.
With the Tony-winning Hamilton: An American Musical setting Broadway box-office records, there’s been renewed interest in our “ten dollar Founding Father”.
In this month’s COBBLESTONE magazine, aspiring historians can learn all about Hamilton, as well as enter the “Rap Into History” Challenge, a challenge that invites kids of all ages to create an original rap or song about their favorite figure in U.S. History!
My girls will be checking out the Rap into History Challenge to see if they have what it takes to rap like Lin-Mauel Miranda.
You will have to check out the “Rap into History” Challenge from Cobblestone, the history focused magazine from Cricket Media (which also publishes magazines for kids of all ages, like Cricket, Ladybug, Spider, Muse, etc.).
Any young songwriter may enter a song about a favorite figure from U.S. history this month. Entry is free, and winners will be featured in the magazine and other media: www.rapintohistory.com
Cobblestone is offering a very special, limited-time rate for new subscribers at a 35% discount. Magazines from Cricket Media make great holiday gifts.
Cricket Media is happy to offer one lucky reader a magazine subscription giveaway – a free annual subscriptions to Cobblestone
I don’t know how well I could rap, lol. I’m sure my daughter could come up with a fun rap about Pocahontas.
If I could rap it would be about Joan of Arc.
I commented on your The Nightmare Before Christmas In Theaters this Weekend post.

I’d write about George Washington!
Great challenge! Looking forward to some great rhymes!
Benjamin Banneker’s life would make a great subject for a great rhyme!

I would write a Rap about George Washington.
It would be about tennyson.
I’d write a rap about John Wesley. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would write a historical rap about Abraham Lincoln
Janet Reno just died today–I think someone needs to rap about her!
I’d write a rap about Susan B Anthony
There are some great responses here as to who people would rap about. I would make a rap about all the ladies in history. I think it would be a great way to acknowledge them all from Betsy Ross to Harriet Tubman to Janet Reno.

This is so cool! I love history (I studied it in college), and my daughter hopes to be a singer. It’s the perfect fit!
