Of course, I found lots of great knight themed activities at ActivityVillage. Here are links to specific pages:
Knight coloring pages - Beautifully detailed pictures of "real" knights, not cartoons.
Castle coloring pages - Can't have knights without castles.
Dragons - And, of course, what good is a knight without a dragon to slay? Main theme page for dragons.
Knight Themed Paper - Unlined and lined for handwriting practice, copywork, or writing letters.
Chess for Kids - Teach your kids how to play chess with these step-by-step visual instructions. You can even print out a paper chess board and pieces.
Shields, Knights and Heraldry - Free software for kids to make their own shield (coat of arms). No downloads.
There is lots of cute stuff at Busy Bee Kids Crafts, including mazes and word searches. Here's a sampling:
Knight's Code of Chivalry - Two cards per sheet.
Knight and Medieval coloring pages - More cartoonish with a few realistic pages.
Easy Catapult - Make it from craft sticks, clothespins, and a plastic spoon.
