Valentine's Day Activities for Elementary Students

 

Are you ready for the next holiday? I love Valentine’s Day and doing Valentine’s Day activities with my elementary students! From the hearts and sweets to the themed activities, there is so much fun to be had in the classroom. Read more to learn about my absolute favorite Valentine’s Day activities to do with my elementary students.

 

Valentine’s Day Spelling Activities

The first set of Valentine’s Day activities that I love to do with my elementary students, are Valentine’s Day themed spelling activities!  I teach my kiddos a new spelling pattern each week. These patterns are wicked fun to practice through the use of my themed monthly spelling activities. This month is all about hearts, Cupid, sweets, and valentines. My kiddos love the spin and write activities the most. I love these Valentine’s Day activities for elementary students because my kiddos get good spelling practice and they are basically no prep for me as a teacher. Talk about a win-win!

Valentine’s Day Read Alouds

If you have been around here a hot minute, you know I’m a sucker for all the read alouds. I love any reason to gather my students on the carpet and share the joy of reading, and a deep story discussion with them. Check out the list below of my favorite Valentine’s Day read aloud books for elementary students.

• A Crankenstein Valentine by Samantha Berger
• Love Monster and the Last Chocolate by Rachel Bright
• Hedgehugs by Steve Wilson
• I am Love a Book of Compassion by Susan Verde
• There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Rose by Lucille Colandro
• Love From the Crayons by Drew Daywalt

 

 

Digital Writing Prompts

Digital writing prompts are my jam! Ever since distance learning took place last March, digital writing prompts have become a favorite of mine. I love the bright colors and engaging prompts for my kiddos, and I love the no prep for me! My favorite way to use digital writing prompts is to assign a prompt to my students and ask them to demonstrate their knowledge of a new skill I have taught them within the prompt (ex. similes, personification, etc.…). These cute and no prep themed prompts are definitely on my list for top Valentine’s Day activities for elementary students.

Valentine’s Day Math Freebie

Did someone say Valentine’s Day FREEBIE? Guys, my list of Valentine’s Day activities for elementary students just wouldn’t be complete with an epic freebie. I created this Valentine’s Day math freebie to help my students practice their measurement conversion skills while still having fun. If you have been inside my classroom before, then you know that fun is a key factor in room 204. In this Common Core aligned freebie, your students can match and practice with eleven pages of math fun. I’ve also included a list of my favorite measurement read aloud mentor texts because I can’t help myself when it comes to read alouds. This FREEBIE is ideal for students in grades 3-4.
