BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Gather a few things.

This sheet or a blank card, crayons, an envelope or a place to hand-deliver.

One useful question

How do you think they will feel when they read it?

WHY THIS WORKS

A little more than a worksheet.

Noticing what others do builds empathy and gratitude.

Make it gentler

Draw only. Dictate one sentence.

Add a little stretch

Write a second postcard to someone you don't know well, such as a neighbor or teacher.

A good place to stop

Deliver it together, or set it somewhere they'll find it.
