A collection of activities to develop key literacy skills inspired by Fortnite. A great way to engage your child in screen-free educational activities! This collection of literacy activities is ideal for engaging your Fortnite fan. The activities cover lots of key educational skills in a fun and relevant way. Please note that these activities have been taken from the main ‘Awesome Activities for Fortnite Fans’ activity pack. Please do not buy both as the activities are duplicated. This product is PDF only. You may also like to look at our Awesome Activities for Fortnite Fans activity pack, In line with the age rating of Fortnite we have designed this pack to be for children aged 12 and over. The activities are intended to inspire and challenge your tweens and teens. Of course there will be younger children who play the game and may well enjoy the pack. The content of the pack itself is not unsuitable for younger children although there will be things they will need help with or will want to return to at a point in the future. Therefore, our age recommendation for this pack is approximately 12+ years. We (of course) advocate thoroughly researching any game before agreeing to your child playing it. In particular it is important to ensure the parental controls and safeguarding options are utilised as well as making sure your child understands how to be safe online. Many games offer the option to play offline, in a realm or using a private server. Those that don’t usually have the option to limit how your child can interact with others (for example by disabling chat features).

Any time your child is bored, pass them the jar! It’s ideal for using at weekends or during school holidays, particularly if you are short on time to prep activities in advance. Your children can enjoy the activities lucky dip style, or use the colour coding to pick an activity of a certain type.
