Disclosure: I was not sent anything but didn’t want my readers to miss out.
Ever since Christmastime, my kids have been addicted to Skylanders and by addicted I mean totally in love with and can’t live without! I honestly don’t mind them playing Skylanders as it can be quite silly with them earning different hats and it forces my kids to work together! In case you haven’t seen the game before, when using two players there is a string attached to the players in the game so they have to go in the same direction and work together! It is adorable to see my boys play together.
The problem though that we’ve been having that my boys want to play Skylanders and not work on homework. Even if they don’t have homework, I want them practicing every day on workbook pages especially this summer. I actually plan this summer to work with them for at least an hour each day so they don’t forget everything they had learned! So whats a mom to do to get her kids excited for homework? How about incorporating Skylanders Giants!
Yes Skylanders Giants has come out with a Skylanders Giants Homework Pack that features five chapters of fun – bascially one for each week day!
- Monday: History (Skylanders story – SSA and Giants)
- Tuesday: Science (elemental sources)
- Wednesday: Characters (character’s abilities, strengths and weaknesses)
- Thursday: Technology (practicalities of what and how to buy and play)
- Friday: Art (to include dot-to-dot and drawing of key characters)
The Skylanders Giants Homework Pack using them Skylanders characters and story line and incorporates it into homework. For example, in History there is a story kids need to read about the history of Skylanders and then answer questions about the story. Kids think they are just hearing about Skylanders but really they are reading, remembering the story and answering questions. It keeps them thinking about the story and really paying attention for all the “chapters!” I downloaded this pack for my boys and I have been reading it to them and having them work together to answer the questions. I hope to do this every few weeks and see if they can continue to answer the questions and hopefully get faster at comprehending them.
Here are what some of the pages look like:
You can too check out a downloadable version of the Skylanders Giants Home Pack! (Click the image to download)
There are also fun Skylanders cards you can download to collect and read!
WIN IT: (1) US winner will receive a Hard Copy of the Skylanders Homework Pack as well as a Skylanders Character! (Character will be chosen randomly)
(Just an example of a character you might get, it will be chosen randomly)

Thousands of years ago, the Giants fought epic battles in Skylands but were banished to Earth. With a new threat looming, it’s time to bring them back to join forces with the Skylanders to defeat KAOS. Only you can put them on the Portal of Power® to unleash their strength in the ultimate battle to save Skylands!
