Good to know
Ask children what they enjoy doing with the person they are making the card for. Their answer is the best start for a drawing or a letter.
In some countries Father’s Day falls on a religious feast day, like Saint Joseph’s Day in Spain and Italy or Ascension Day in Germany. Whatever the date, homemade cards and letters are always welcome.
How to use these
- Teachers: let children choose who to make a card for.
- Combine the drawing lesson with the card template.
- Use the word search as a warm-up for writing.
