In recently surfing the internet, I came upon this Lesson Plan Set prepared in connection with Olymphilex '96. While it is obviously geared toward Olympic Stamps, it does provide enough elementary basics as to be useful in stamp collecting in general. I especially like the worksheets where there is either a crossword, acrostic or some other type of teaching tools to keep the kids interested.

I hope this is of some use to SCF members who may be involved in encouraging kids to take up the stamp collecting hobby:

wt1, thanks for posting this!


It will be a great resource.

I wonder if it's possible to have a separate section on this forum for education? It would be nice to have everything in one place.
