Valentine’s Day Activities and FREEBIES!
Stumped on what to do for Valentine’s Day in your classroom this year? Here are some little-to no-prep activities to enjoy with your students!
Students can make their own Valentine’s Day Cards! Here’s a simple and easy FREEBIE for students to design Valentines to pass out to their friends on V-day!
Read “The Biggest Valentine Ever” by Steven Kroll – An adorable story about friends coming together to make the biggest, best valentine ever!
After reading “The Biggest Valentine Ever”,  have your class make their own biggest Valentine based on the book!
Make sure students all contribute a little something to make this giant valentine special! 

Set up a Scavenger Hunt based around Valentine’s Day! Here are some ideas for the students to find around the classroom!

               -a book with a heart on it
               -a book with the word “love” in it,
               -a lovebird or a lovebug (could be any bird or bug)
               -a red or pink crayon
               -words that rhyme with love
               -words that start with V.
               -a friendship bracelet (hopefully someone is wearing one! 🙂 )
               -something that is shaped like a heart 
 
Write poetry with your students!  Here is a acronym FREEBIE poem to get you started! Click here for sensory and haiku Valentine’s Day poetry!

 

 

 

Turn on some Valentine’s day music and just free paint!
Find songs about friendship, love, and giving.. One of my favorite songs of all time “You’ll Be in My Heart” from the movie Tarzan!

 

Here are some other great Valentine’s Day themed songs:

 

You’ve Got a Friend in Me – Randy Newman

 

Lean on Me – Bill Withers

 Be sure to bring heart shaped cookie cutters!
