Ping. Pong. Post! Summer Penpal Program
Ready to build connections?
This summer, let your child trade texts for postcards and screen time for stamps in Ping. Pong. Post!
Our mail-based penpal program designed just for homeschoolers ages 5–17.
Your child will get to connect, write, and receive real letters from a penpal across the country (or even nearby!).
We’re making connection hands-on, heartfelt, and a little old-school, in the best way.
✍️ How It Works
We match homeschoolers with age-appropriate penpals, provide weekly writing prompts,
and offer both digital and physical experience kits to keep the fun going all season long.

✅ DOs & ❌ DON’Ts
A Friendly Guide to Having a Great Penpal Experience
✅ The DOs
Whether you send doodles, stories, or just a share your day, your letter makes a difference.
That’s our rhythm. Not too much, not too little.
Washi tape, crayons, stickers go wild!
Favorite games, snacks, shows, pets, bring your world to the page.
We’ll help however we can (and maybe even send in a Penpal Angel if needed).
This is about connection, friendship, and growth not perfection. Let’s extend grace to one another and share kindness as well as letters.
❌ The DON’Ts
If something happens and you can’t write, let us know — we’ve got backup!
like phone numbers, email addresses, or usernames. Let’s keep the fun in the mailbox!
Please wait until the end of the program to ask about texting, gaming, or chatting apps — we’re here to enjoy the art of slow connection!
They don’t have to be fancy. Spelling mistakes, doodles, and weird jokes are welcome!
Differences are part of the fun!
Don’t send anything overly personal, inappropriate, or disrespectful.
🐌 What if my penpal stops writing?
We have Penpal Angels standing by to make sure no one is left waiting.
If your penpal is struggling, we’ll swoop in with kindness.
