Postcards vs. Envelopes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a dual activity for addressing an envelope and a postcard, with the context set at Disneyland Resort. The top half provides a blank envelope template with a space for a stamp, while the bottom half features a postcard layout with a pre-written message saying, “Having a great time. Wish you were here!” The instructions direct the student to write their address on both the envelope and the postcard, with Disneyland Resort’s address provided as an example.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students how to properly write their return address on an envelope and where to place their address on a postcard. It also helps students understand where the stamp should be affixed on both types of mail. The task of writing the same address in two different formats is a practical exercise, reinforcing the importance of detail and format in written communication, especially in the context of sending mail. This skill is fundamental for personal correspondence and understanding the workings of postal services.
