Postcard Greetings

Worksheet Description

This worksheet offers students a creative way to practice writing salutations by using a postcard format. Each postcard on the sheet gives students space to write a greeting at the top, mimicking the experience of sending a real postcard. This activity allows students to imagine they are writing to different people, such as friends, family members, or even fictional characters, helping them think about which salutation fits best for each recipient. The blank postcards provide a flexible template for students to apply what they have learned about formal and informal greetings. It’s an engaging way to combine creativity with writing practice.

Students learn how to choose and write appropriate salutations for various types of correspondence. By deciding on the best greeting for each postcard, they develop a better understanding of the different levels of formality required in different relationships. This exercise also helps students understand the structure of written communication, emphasizing the importance of starting with a proper salutation. The activity encourages them to think about the context and audience for their writing, skills that are crucial for effective communication. Overall, it builds confidence in their ability to write thoughtful, appropriate messages in a format that is both fun and practical.
