Project Activities
Meet your penpals: icebreaker and class introductions
Students play a short name-game and share one fact about themselves with the partner class. They learn the key phrases for introducing themselves in simple English.
Write your introduction letter in simple English
Students write a short letter to their penpal about their home, family, daily routine, favourite food, and hobbies. Pairs check each other's sentences for grammar and clarity.
Prepare guided questions and practise asking and answering
Small groups build a set of questions about daily routines, food, and hobbies, then practise them aloud until they feel comfortable with the exchange.
Exchange letters and compare routines, foods, and hobbies
Students send their letters to penpals, read the replies, and note similarities and differences in a shared comparison chart. Pairs discuss one surprising difference with a partner class video call or forum.
Share our penpal findings with both classes
Each group presents one comparison and one question they want to ask next to the partner class. Students reflect on what they learned about communicating across cultures.
