March is National Reading Month, and what better time to explore
best loved children's literature classics? The movie Inkheart was based on a
trilogy of books by Cornelia Funke, including Inkheart, Inkspell and Inkdeath.
This wonderful set of medieval type fantasy literature continues to thrill
readers as the film did in 2009. Destined to become a children's literature
classic, here are free printableInkheart lesson plans, fantasy coloring pages and activities based on the Cornelia Funke
collection. Check EdHelper for free printable Inkheart book activities. Scholastic has a free printable Inkheart literature guide for Cornelia Funke books Inkspell and
Inkdeath and companion movies.
The movie website at Warner Bros. has downloads including a free printable Inkheart activity booklet. Keep the Inkheart magic
alive with beautifully illustrated word puzzles, word games, crossword,
mad-libs, maze, hidden messages, design a fantasy butterfly and more. Each
activity page can be enjoyed as a coloring page as well. The drawings are
intricate and whimsical and will help readers respond to Inkspell and Inkdeath
as they read them.
Beyond that, there aren't too many Cornelia Funke Inkheart,
Inkspell or Inkdeath coloring pages available online, so here are general fantasy and medieval coloring pages. Here's a page of free printable Inkheart activities and lesson plans as well. Here are a few Inkheart lesson
plans that cover
Inkspell and Inkdeath, too. Cornelia Funke has written a literary classic which
became a much-loved movie with Brendan Frasier, Andy Serkis Helen Mirren, Jim
Broadbent and Paul Bettany. Lovers of fantasy books will love joining Mo,
Meggie, Dustfinger, Farid, Resa and all the fantastical characters of Inkheart.
And maybe filmmakers will make Inkspell into a sequel?
