One-Stop Hub for FREE Movie Guides—What You’ll Find Inside Our K-12 Directory

Looking for ready-to-print movie worksheets that don’t hide behind paywalls or endless signup funnels? Our new Free Movie-Guide Directory for K-12 Teachers curates the best classroom-ready resources—sorted by Elementary, Middle, and High School—so you can bring film-based learning to life with zero hunting.

Why a Central Directory?

  • Saves prep time. No more sifting through broken links or half-finished Pinterest boards.

  • Verified free. Every guide in the list costs $0.00 at the time of publication—if a site needs a quick account signup, we say so.

  • Grade-band buttons. Jump straight to Elementary, Middle, or High tables in one click.

  • Structured search boost. We use JSON-LD so Google (and AI search tools) surface your favorite guides faster.
