Doodle Pages!!!! (Friendship Books for Pals)

by Shannon
(USA)

Hi! I'm Shannon and I am eleven years old. I recently began penpalling and I just got this idea: Doodle Pages!

It's when you would make a book full of notebook paper, then in the first page write about what you're doing. Then you would number the pages to how many people you want the book to go to.

Caution at this part, you might not want to put fifty or any high number, because then it might take you a REALLY long time to get it back. I would put maybe ten or fifteen.

On each page next to the number, put a spot for the doodler's name. On the last page, you would write something like this: Hello, this book has reached the last person in the doodle pages book! Please mail it to: your address.

PLEASE WRITE YOUR ADDRESS THE WAY YOU WOULD WRITE IT ON AN ENVELOPE!

On my first letter, I googled myself to death on how to write the address to the country I was writing to. After you make the book, you would send it to one of your penpals. Then, they would send it to another one of their penpals. That penpal would send it to another one of their penpals. Then, well, you get the idea.

They would keep sending it until it gets to the last person. The last person would send the book to your address and you would get to see all the people it was sent to and who doodled in it. That was my idea. I'm going to try it out with my penpal and see how it goes.

When I get it back, I'll write again on how it went. Bye!

Wendy: Shannon, that's pretty close to what the pen pal world calls FRIENDSHIP BOOKS. Check out these articles to read more.... Friendship books!
