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!
