 Cards
for Kids
Cards for Kids is a GCA-developed program that helps
schools use greeting cards as a hands-on language arts and social studies teaching
tool, and encourages students to send or deliver cards to community nursing homes,
shelters and senior centers.
The concept is simple. Greeting card publishers donate seasonal or everyday
cards to local elementary schools, along with suggested lesson plans for teachers.
Students gain basic communications and social studies skills, learn about the
needs of the elderly and less fortunate, and have the opportunity to connect with
others in their community.
Parents & Teachers: If you are interested in
the possibility of a Cards for Kids program at your
school, please write to the Greeting Card Association; Cards for Kids Program;
1156 15th Street, NW; Suite 900; Washington, DC 20005, and include a self-addressed
stamped envelope.
