Awesome Activities for F’nite Fans

Awesome Activities for F’nite Fans is a brilliant collection of activities all inspired by Fortnite. It is the ideal way to support and indulge your gamer’s passion whilst encouraging some screen-free time. The activities, tasks and challenges are cross-curricular and packed full of fabulous educational content. It is perfect for those that struggle to engage with school work, home educators who would like to make a project out of their favourite game or for school holiday fun. 

Gaming can be a source of worry for many parents but the reality is that the future for our children is digital! We like to support gaming as a great educational activity. There are many skills developed during gaming and loads of ways that popular games can be used as inspiration for educational activities. Awesome Activities for Fortnite Fans has been inspired by past and present seasons of Fortnite. Be sure to also check out our other gamer packs.

Many of the tasks could take several hours or be spread over a number of days, try to let your child set their own pace. Equally, some of the activities could be done more than once as your child might like to play a game for a second time or design a few versions of something. A child’s response to an activity will be very different when approached several months later. You can always print extra copies of these activities from the digital file if you purchased it.

The activities in this pack have been designed so they can be done largely independently. Many of which prompt children to undertake their own research, problem solve and think critically. There are lots of opportunities for your child to be creative and use their imagination. Support should be given as is appropriate for your child. 

We believe that education should be child-led and driven by curiosity and enjoyment. Children learn best when they are motivated by and interested in what they are doing. We are sure that your Fortnite fan will find lots of engaging activities that they are keen to try in the pack. The best part is there’s plenty of educational value in every single one of them!

What age is Awesome Activities for F’nite Fans suitable for?

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).

Do I need anything else?

Some of our activities require resources that you may not have readily at home but can be purchased inexpensively online or at the supermarket.

Is Awesome Activities for F’nite Fans a book or pdf file?

This product is available as three options- an A4 book, an instant download and a combo of both. You can pick your own postage to suit your individual needs at checkout.

If you purchase the digital file please be aware that not all pages require printing. Our packs are bright and vibrant to make them appealing to children and as such it may not be economical to print them in their entirety.

Anything else I need to know?

Some of the activities in this pack may require the use of scissors, knives and hot cooking equipment so please ensure children are supervised appropriately.
