This is a collection of ideas for simple exchange projects. These projects are mainly intended for teachers in Australia whose students want to produce something for their partner school that will give a clearer idea about their lives and interests. These projects can be adapted to suit the particular needs of the class and completed by the home school without too much involvement from the partner school. Children in the partner school act as an audience for the work produced.
