Hi,
I homeschool my 11 yr old son who is twice exceptional and loves video games but not a lot else. Just spent the weekend tracking down interesting stuff for him to do as I couldn't find a list anywhere and thought I may as well share. Have also decided to use some plot summaries of favourite video games from Wiki as text to write spelling/grammar/comprehension questions for worksheets.
Particularly impressed by:
