Language Arts

and
Minifigs

Created by Mary Prather – homegrownlearners.com 2013

This printable is designed to provide fun language arts time for
your children. The target age is 6-12, but of course that depends
on your child. It is designed to reinforce language arts skills and
inspire creative writing.

Skills include:

• parts of speech (verbs and adjectives)

• synonyms and antonyms
• proofreading
• creative writing
• alphabetical order

Please don't feel restricted to use just the minifigs I have included in
this printable. Let your children create their own minifigs and use
some of the activities in this packet with them.

(You might also be interested in the original Minifig Printable, as

well as Minifigs for Boys and Girls.)

This is meant to be fun, and not drudgery.

Create a Language Arts and Minifigs Notebook (use page 1 of this

download as the notebook cover) and get creative. The sheets in
this download can just be a part of a larger notebook your child
creates themselves.

The sky is the limit!

I hope you have as much fun with Minifigs as we do!
