Get Well Letter

Have a friend that's not feeling good? Write a get well letter and show how much you care and miss him or her. In addition to the basket, we are going to create a get well basket too.

For this story project, you will write up a friendly letter recounting some things you want to do with your friend after s/he gets well. You'll fill the basket with little gifts or other things that will encourage your friend to get well faster. 

This is easy to do and a very friendly gesture. If you want, you can even invite classmates or friends to make a collective get well basket.

Materials

• buy a basket - or a nice bag will do too
• paper and envelope
• toys or small tokens

Steps

1. The letter is the most important part of the whole gift. Here are some suggestion on what types of stories to include:
• How much I/we miss you!
• When you get well, let's...
• I'm/We're waiting for you to...
2. Write down the letter neatly on paper. You can draw a picture if you want of the thing you want to do with him/her. 
3. Sign the letter and seal.
4. Now find little gifts for your friend. If you really enjoyed seeing a movie together before, draw a small ticket on paper and say "let's see ___ together". You can either buy or make gifts. It's all used to cheer up your friend.
5. Put the gifts and the sealed get well letter in the basket/gift bag and give it to your friend.
