• Read your Special Letter from your grandparent.
• Prepare your Special Letter:
  Tell about a time when you lied or wanted to lie. How did you feel about lying? Describe a time when someone lied to you. How did you feel about this? Anything you think is important!
• For your grandparent's scrapbook:
  Draw the outline of several balloons on a piece of paper. Inside each balloon write a truthful statement, such as, I really like you, or I am your grandson.
• Optional Activities (Choose as many as you want to do):

  Tall Tales. Write your own tall tale. Be outrageous in your descriptions by making up a wild pretend story. If you wish, instead of inventing a pretend story, you could describe something that really happened to you that is very interesting. Ask your grandparent to guess whether your story is true or a tall tale.

  Special Commitments. Make a list of ways you keep the special commitments you have to your friends, showing them you are a good friend.

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