Flat Stanley

Flat Stanely is a timeless children's book by Jeff Brown, working on letter writing skills. The main character is flattened by a bulletin board falling on him while he is sleeping. This condition leads Stanley into various adventures, including being mailed to friends in another state.

We were very happy to have Stanely visited us from US to Korea, and we took him to experience the screen golf. Stanely is going to arrive in America next week.

Flat Stanley Tours
Stanley can also help students learn about places around the world in geography. After hearing or reading the story Flat Stanley, students can make and decorate a stick figure or paper “Stanley” (or “Stephanie”) that will fit into an envelope. As in the above idea, have the students compose a letter asking friends and/or relatives to let Stanley “visit” for the next month (or whatever length of time you choose) and to return him at the end of that time with descriptions and pictures (preferably including him) of the places he visited and experiences he had. A brief questionnaire could be included to help the “hosts” provide information of interest to your students. Be sure to include information about how and when to return Stanley. Then help students address and send Stanley with all the necessary enclosures on his adventurous trip.
