This document provides instructions for creating a funny fill-in-the-blank letter to send to a camper. It explains that one person should print out the letter template and then ask another person for random words to fill in the blanks. Once all the blanks are filled, it becomes a silly story personalized for the camper involving their bedroom things coming to life while they were away at camp. The goal is to give the camper a fun surprise and laugh when they receive the unique letter in the mail.

Instructions
This is a funny fill-in-the-blank letter. It takes two people to fill
in the letter. You’ll have as much fun “writing” this letter as
your camper will have reading it!
Here’s how it works: First, print out the next page. Then,
without showing another person the letter, ask them for words
like “animal” or “place” and write the words in the blank spaces
provided. Fill in all of the blanks and you’ll have a funny letter
to send your camper.
Enjoy!

2. Letters to Camp TM TM
Dear (camper’s name) ,
This is a special letter – and it’s just for you! It’s a little silly and it’s a lot
made up. We hope you enjoy this and have a great time at camp!
About Your Bedroom
The first thing you should know is that everything is fine. Really. But I
have to tell you that I was a little worried…
After you left for camp, we cleaned up your room so it would be nice when
you came back home. And it all seemed fine until (day of the week).
You see, we were asleep in our (furniture) when all of the
sudden, we heard a loud (sound). Oh my gosh, I almost
fell on my (body part). I was so (emotion)
that I jumped (a direction) and ran down the (room in a house)
to see what was happening.
As I got closer to your room, I could see that something wasn’t quite right!
It seems that all of your s (clothing), s (clothing), and the
(something you keep in your bedroom) were in a pile in the middle of
your floor! And as I walked over to your (part of a bedroom)
I was sure I could see a great big (scary animal)
staring at me! And it sounded like this: (funny sound).
All I could think was, what will (your camper’s name)
think when they come home! What will I do?!?
But it’s OK, because I made up this imaginary story! Everything is just as
you left it! And a good thing too: I wasn’t looking forward to cleaning up
all of that (something messy)!
