Hi all, my 10 year old daghter is interested in having a pen pal but i haven't got a clue about where she should start looking for them.
Does anyone know of a reputable site where she can look?
Cheers guys.

bejesus if that isnt a subject to make you shudder... well its certainly not safe to give out your address so maybe direct mail via a 3rd party?

And congratulations on having a daughter who can use a pen, unlike mine who will only use a keyboard,
Steve,

I used to do a penpal thing with a lad in canada when i was at school. It was a proper penpal thing set up by some company. Cant remember who it was.

What about some members children on here writing to each other? Theres a chance they might meet up then. I would suggest my daughter but shes only 7 months.

Ask at your childs school. My 12 year old got his Penpal this way. He's had 2 letters back so far from a 12 year old in Italy.

...my sister (also 10) just started to learn English in school... I don't know if she'd like it, and if it'd be much of a success, but I guess I could ask her..
