Write a letter to a grandparent

Most of what we get through the letterbox these days is bills and junkmail. So receiving a handwritten letter is a rare joy.

Even if you speak to your grandparents regularly, a letter is still a lovely way to show you're thinking about them.

Get creative

Dig out the gel pens and the old sticker collection and make something that's pretty as well as lovely to read.

What to write about

Have you got writer's block? Here are some things you could talk about in your letter:

  • your day
  • your friends
  • what you're studying at school or uni
  • a new job
  • your hobbies
  • what you're reading
  • what you're watching

Make sure you ask them some questions too, so they can reply.

We'd love to see your handwritten letters. Send us a photo on Twitter!
