Card Club, a new GCA initiative designed to help children aged four to 11 discover the joy of sending and receiving cards, was launched at the recent GCA conference
The initiative has been designed in collaboration with a qualified teacher, who has trialled it in their classroom and had fantastic results, says the GCA.
The GCA website has free downloadable toolkits packed with creative activities, classroom resources, and lesson plans, perfect for teachers looking to inspire connection, kindness, and creativity through card-sending.
The Card Club includes:
- A simple step-by-step lesson plan
- Printable blank cards
- Printable sticker sheets
- A foldable envelope template.
The kit has been designed to make it simple for schools and clubs to run the activity, with only an A4 printer and pens needed. Plus there are colour-me-in sheets for those schools and clubs that don’t have access to a coloured printer.
The greetings industry is being encouraged to share this with their teacher friends to help inspire the next generation of card senders.
