Start by choosing a GRADE on the map below to find a class that that matches yours! (AGE - 5 = GRADE; So grade 5 will have mostly 10 year olds, grade 7 = 12 year olds, etc.).
Play around with the map below to find penpals in different locations!
You can DRAG the map by click-draging, you can also ZOOM IN real close and see the actual school building! Have fun!
If you cannot find a match, enter your own class by clicking the green "Add Your Class!" button below the map.
Pins on the map below are actual kids and classrooms looking for penpals!
Please CHOOSE a GRADE to see available pen pal locations!
NOTE: AGE # (subtract) 5 = GRADE (Approx) 11 years old = GRADE 6 8 years old = GRADE 3
U.S. schools are done by 'grades'. You can typically add 5 to a grade to get the age of children in that grade. Example: 5th graders are usually about 10 years old.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Teacher's Corner DOES NOT SCREEN ANYONE that uses our penpals service. Remember: penpals are intrinsically strangers, and the anonymity of the internet can provide an ideal environment for scammers. Please use due diligence when making a penpal connection.
We are currently working on making the site load faster, and work better on mobile & touch devices. This requires a full recode of the main structure of our website, then finding and fixing individual pages that could be effected, and this will all take a good amount of time. PLEASE let us know if you are having ANY issues. We try hard to fix issues before we make them live, so if you are having problems, then we don't know about it. Additionally, sending a screenshot of the issue can often help, but is definitely not necessary, just tell us which page and what isn't working properly. Just sending us the notification can get us working on it right away. Thank you for your patience while we work to improve our site! EMAIL:[email protected].
