What is the Super Summer Swap you ask? It is a fun way for children to make some friends this summer. The participants will put together little packages to exchange with other children of similar age.
Why should your child participate?
1. What child wouldn't like to get some mail?
2. It will be a fun summer project.
3. Your child can learn a little bit about another child from another state.
4. Pen pals are always a possibility if the children want to continue the friendship.
4. Why not?
So, here is how it works:
1. It is open to all children through elementary age.
2. Sign up between June 15 and June 22.
3. We will match children based on age and partners will be notified by June 26.
4. All packages should be mailed by August 3.
5. When you receive your package, write a post about it and we will link to all of the posts.
Packages should include a minimum of three items from your child; here are some examples: 1. A postcard or brochure from where you live, 2. a lapbook or scrapbook or something handmade, 3. a photograph or drawing of your child, 4. a special gift that will allow your child's new friend to experience a hobby or interest that your child has or enjoys.
You do not have to spend any money, but please DO NOT spend more than $15.00 on the items that will be exchanged.
You can sign up through comments or email on this blog or the Dairy Queen's blog. Please include the following information when you sign up: your email address, name(s) of child(ren), age(s) of child(ren), and the state in which you live.
Please feel free to ask questions, and PLEASE blog about this so that we can get a lot of people involved. This will be more fun if we have a lot of participants!
IF you don't want me to post your personal information, please email me at superheroesandprincesses@gmail.com
You DO NOT have to have a blog to participate!!!!!!!!!!!
