What educators are saying

This was a great resource for both myself and my 3rd graders this year as we wrote to pen pals at another local school for the first time.

Description

This Ultimate Pen Pal Guide includes EVERYTHING you need to have a successful pen pal experience for your secondary students, whether it is domestic or international. There are 14 different pen pal prompts or pen pal letter templates for students included in this resource, either for printable PDF or an editable Google Doc!

Arranging a pen pal experience for your students is one of the most memorable and engaging activities, but it can be a lot of work if you don't know where to begin. After arranging pen pal experiences for my students with schools in Peru, Germany, Ireland, Spain, and Switzerland, I compiled my best tips to create this step-by-step guide that will make the pen pal process incredibly simple for you! The only thing this guide can’t do is actually match you up with another teacher and school, but I even provide tips for how to find the best match in Part 2 of the guide.

This resource includes the following components:

  • Types of Pen Pal Experiences
  • Guide to Create Your Account on ePals
  • Logistical Considerations and Ways to Communicate
  • Pen Pal Information Letter Template for Students/Parents (editable Google Doc template)
  • Interest Inventory to Match Students
  • 14 Ideas and Prompts for student pen pal letters (printable PDF or editable Google Doc)
  • Best Tips Based Upon My Own Experiences

Upon completing your purchase, you will click on the green button that says Add to Google Drive. Then, you will be able to find this resource in the TpT Purchases folder of your Google Drive account!
