Valentine’s Day is a special occasion that brings an opportunity to spread love and kindness in the classroom.
As a teacher, you have the opportunity to make this day even more special by incorporating fun activities in the classroom. The activities we have designed for you, not only provide a festive atmosphere for students but also encourage them to express their creativity, love and appreciation for one another.
Here are three easy and memorable Valentine’s Day activities for your students to enjoy in the classroom.
A Heart Full of Love (Pre-K – 5th Grade)
Ready, set, draw .. all the things you love!
This activity has the students draw a heart-shaped puzzle with all the things they love. In each puzzle piece, the students draw something they love e.g. their family members, friends, pets, favorite food, games, sports, hobbies, places to visit, etc.
Once the students are done, they can present their drawings to the class or discuss them in groups. Maybe some students will find shared interests or kids will get inspired about new games and hobbies.
Coloring activities keep students engaged and entertained while also helping them develop their fine motor skills as they draw and color. Download the “A Heart Full of Love” free printable here.

These task cards are a fun and interactive way for students to celebrate Valentine’s Day in the classroom. They encourage students to express love, kindness, and appreciation for one another and help to create a positive and inclusive atmosphere in the classroom.
