Disclosure: Activision is providing a winner from ToyQueen.com a Skylanders Giants Thump Back toy. I did not receive any compensation for this post and any additional opinions are my own.
I sit in meetings all day long with teachers and parents who struggle to get children to initiate and enjoy writing activities. As we often attempt to focus them back on the “academics” of what’s going on in the classroom, they continue to let us know that their interests aren’t always in alignment with those dreaded common core standards.
These days superheroes and games like Skylanders are a huge motivational source for children. So let’s face it, sometimes in order to get children to feel passionate and enthusiastic about activities that are hard for them, disguising it in the form of their favorite characters is a win-win for everyone. So though I’m not sure entire classes will be utilizing these fun new Skylanders materials at the same time as an added feature to the curriculum, parents and tutors who will be looking for some fun summer activities that keep kids reading and answering comprehension questions will be sure to find some value in the form of this free downloadable Skylanders printable homework packet.
Activision, has developed an entire downloadable series of Skylanders Giants Homework Pack materials that include questions about history, science, the toys, and art (coloring pages, dot to dots), which you can download here for your children here: Skylanders Giants Activity Kit.
In addition, one lucky reader will have a chance to win a Skylanders Giants character figure for their favorite player and a hard copy of the booklet. Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway here.
If you are looking for more information on Skylanders toys, here’s a list of my favorite Skylanders Giants toys featured on About.com.
Activision provided me with a link to the downloadable packet that is available for free, as well as a character for me to giveaway on this site. Any additional opinions are my own.

No favorites yet but looks like something he would love
My grandkids like Rollie.
i'm not really sure which one is my grandsons favorite
Little Man loves Skylanders and the Giant Skylanders edition the most. Just started the transition from taking his favorite video games and using them as the foundation for storytelling, drawing and creating his own comic books on the characters and fresh new adventures we build together. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing this and all your good posts.
