You Are Invited! Writing a Party Invitation

About This Resource

A free Grade 2 ESL writing worksheet on invitations. Children read a model invitation, find who it is for, what the party is, the date, time and place and who it is from, put the parts in order, choose polite phrases and write an invitation of their own. Includes a timed lesson plan, a six-activity worksheet, an editable Word version and answer key.

Overview

An invitation asks someone to come to an event. A good invitation tells the reader who it is for, what the event is, when it is (date and time), where it is and who it is from. It may also say what to bring and when to reply. Children read Maya's birthday party invitation, answer questions, match each part with its information, put the parts in order and choose polite phrases. Then they plan and write an invitation to a real or pretend event, such as a party, a picnic or a class show.
