Writing - 2023

1. Get out a piece of paper (it can be white paper or Valentine’s Day colors like pink, purple, or red). 

2. Start writing your letter. It can be to your actual boy/girlfriend or a fake letter for someone who you like. It could also just be to your family or close friends.

   1. In the letter, write why you like the person you are sending it to, what makes them special, or anything else you would like to include. 

   2. Tip: If you want to be anonymous when sending the letter, you can include hints that the sender is you, without directly saying it; like scattering letters of your name throughout the note in a different writing style or color.

3. Send the note! You can use a mail service or hand deliver it. You can also be secretive and try to slip the note into the recipient’s possession or have someone you know give it to the recipient.

1. Oh no! Spring fever just became a real illness!

   3. What happens when you have it

   4. If there are any medications

3. We’re excited to see what you can come up with.

*Note: In this activity, spring fever is defined as emotional, behavioral, or mood changes that occur with the start of spring.

1. Take out a piece of lined paper. Set a timer for 10 minutes.
