My son loves football, and fortunately sports are easy to turn into opportunities to learn nearly everything! Science, math, history, geography, literature. Here is a great YouTube channel for sports/STEM knowledge.

I will probably have the kids copy passages into their journals. The amount of text per page is not too much to be overwhelming. Previously, we had been copying from 365 Days of Precepts by RJ Palacio every day for 2 years, and that book binding is completely ruined. The book exists in two halves now. Time for a change!
