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).

Your child will lead their own research, present their findings, give their considered opinion and reasons for it. They will have the chance to create their own resources, teach others and develop their comprehension skills. They will undoubtedly improve their writing, become a more fluent reader and increase in confidence in their own ability. They will have opportunities to write for many different purposes throughout this pack, all of which are centred around the wonderful world of Minecraft. All these tasks plus mazes, colouring and drawing will improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. There are also many opportunities for reading throughout the pack, activities which encourage remembering details, following instructions and recalling facts.
What age is the Legendary Literacy suitable for?
Our age recommendation for this pack is approximately 7-14+ years. However, we always say that ability is very subjective; what will be right for one child won’t necessarily be right for another of the same age. It is suitable for a large variety of ages. Young children can be read to and scribed for or use pictures as responses. Older/more confident children can work independently and respond to tasks in greater depth and detail. The pack is suitable for even the most reluctant of writers as it beautifully focuses on Minecraft rather than writing!
Do I need anything else?
In order to get the most from this curriculum we suggest providing your child with safe internet access for research, PowerPoint, a Minecraft story book and the other resources listed within the pack (ingredients for recipes, Lego and paper for example).
