This is an exercise in pure imagination, with many opportunities for children to be really creative.

Imagine you are in a queue at the post office.
The lady in front of you has a heavy parcel which she keeps changing from one arm to the other.
When she reaches the counter she puts the parcel on the scale, and tells the assistant the country it is going to.

Answer these questions, after discussing them with your partner or other members of your group.

What country is the parcel going to?

What is in the parcel?

Who is the recipient (the person who will receive the parcel)?

Describe this person (appearance, job, hobbies, home, family etc)

What will s/he do with what is in the parcel?

Who is the lady who is sending the parcel?

What is her relationship with the recipient?

Describe the lady (appearance, job, hobbies, home, family etc)

The recipient writes a letter to the lady, telling her that s/he has received the parcel. Write this letter.

Write notes on what the lady might send in future parcels, if any, and what the recipient will do with what s/he receives.
