I suggest this activity for Unit 4 of the school coursebook (5th grade) ,as it is a nice way to practice the grammar of the unit (Present Continuous vs Present Simple). It also familiarises students with the format of a postcard (short ,inclusive ,informal kind of writing) and actually motivates them to learn in a creative way using their background experience or travel through their imagination to a holiday destination of their choice. Here are some examples.

Both projects are a nice way to revise Alphabet words used in Magic Book 1,in 3rd grade.We did Alphabet books last year while this year we created a poster with pictures representing words from letterland . Both activities motivate young learners, as they have the chance to learn the words as well as being creative and imaginative. It gives them a sense of accomplishment and at the same time make FL learning more appealing.You can see some of my students’ work.
