Discover how letters and postcards journey across the globe in a fun and simple way, perfect for 6-year-olds!
Do you know that letters and postcards can go on exciting trips all around the world? Let’s find out how they do it! We will break this down step by step so it's easy to understand.
First, you need to write your message. Whether it’s in a letter or on a postcard, you should include the date, your message, and don’t forget to sign your name at the end!
Next, you need to put the address on the envelope. This is where the letter or postcard is going. You write the recipient’s name, street address, city, and country, so the postal workers know where to deliver it.
Now, you need to buy a stamp! A stamp is like a ticket that pays for the letter or postcard to travel. You stick the stamp on the upper right corner of the envelope or postcard.
Once everything is ready, you can drop it in a mailbox! Mailboxes are special boxes that collect letters and postcards so they can be picked up by postal workers.
After your letter is in the mailbox, postal workers collect all the mail. They then sort it out, which means they organize it by where it’s going. They put all the letters and postcards headed to the same place together.
Your letter or postcard may travel in big trucks, planes, or even ships to reach its destination. It’s like an adventure – your message is on its way to someone special!
Finally, when your letter or postcard arrives at the right post office, a postal worker will deliver it to your friend or family member’s house. They will find it in their mailbox, and that’s when the fun begins! They can read your message and feel connected to you, even if you’re far away.
And that’s how letters and postcards travel all around the world! It’s a great way to share stories and keep in touch with the people you love. Maybe you can write a letter or postcard to someone today!
