• Read your Special Letter from your grandparent.
• Prepare your Special Letter:
  Talk about competing, maybe in sports or exhibiting at fairs. Describe how you feel about competing. Tell about times when you won and lost. Were you a good or bad winner or loser? Anything you think is important!
• For your grandparent's scrapbook:
  Draw a large circle on a piece of cardboard. Make a #1 in the center. Cut the circle out and attach several colors of ribbon behind the circle with glue or tape so they hang down from the bottom. Glue the circle to a sheet of paper suitable for your grandparent's scrapbook. On this paper write the reasons why you think your grandparent is #1 for you. Instead of making the award, you could simply draw it on the paper.
• Optional Activities (Choose as many as you want to do):

  Compare Collages. Cut small angular pieces from assorted colors of tissue paper. Glue an overlapping collage design on paper or cardboard. Frame it. On the back of the picture explain what improvements you made on the collage.

  Competition Improvement. Make a list of activities that you compete in. After each item write a brief explanation of ways you can improve in this activity.

• Mail your letter and anything else you made to your grandparent.
