Kids Rule! magazine postcard competition

Write us a postcard! Take a photo at any of our sites and send it to us, along with the message you’d write on the back. Tell us…

Who’s your postcard to? You could choose someone you know or someone famous, either from history or alive today!

What’s your message? Something funny that happened on your visit? Something interesting you learned? Whatever it is, your message must be 30 words or less, as that’s all you’d be able to fit on the back of a postcard!
