to your Park, is through postcards. If a person in Australia, Europe,
Asia, America, or Africa sees a postcard with a nice picture of your Park
on it, they just might want to travel there too!
Draw a postcard that will be sold to people in the park.
a. Show the front of the card.
Design a suitable picture, or you can design a few, and
make them small enough to fit on a slide as a group. [some

a message about your trip to the Park as if you were a guest.
