My kids have a cousin who is serving as a missionary for our church for the next two years. We want to support him by sending him letters and packages. I also have a son who lives away from home while attending college. I want my kids to write to him and keep in touch that way. And of course we have two sets of grandparents and a great grandmother I would like my kids to correspond with. We like to use Sundays as a day to write letters.
But, my boys aren’t too good at sitting down and writing a letter to someone. They have a hard time thinking up what to say. So, today I decided to make a form letter with prompts to help get them started. My ten year old just tried it out and really liked it. I am excited to help my 3 and 6 year olds fill it out and to let my 9 year old use it as well.
I think this will be a great tool to help my kids learn how to write letters!
If you want to download it you can do so HERE.
Great idea! I think I'll use it for my Activity Day girls! I'm planning a missionary activity for them sometime in the near future. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove this!! My boys have the same problem when I "make" them write letters to my sister on a mission. I'm totally using this! (Not to sound ungrateful - but it would be super cool if there were a couple different color/pattern options. :)
ReplyDeleteI have a few others. I will try to get them on here for download.
DeleteThis is such a great idea and I have kids who could definitely benefit from this! I'm a mom of five too...it is for sure a FUN adventure! :-)
