Once everyone has their valentines handed out, the fun
begins! Students find a spot in the room
to take their valentines to, and open them.
I keep small buckets nearby for trash (envelopes). After a few minutes of looking at the
valentines, I hand out one of my valentine cards activities.
The "Find Someone Who" activity is quick and easy. Students sit with their valentines and write the name of a classmate who gave them a valentine that fits each box.
The second sheet is a little more involved. Students use their valentines to find nouns, verbs and adjectives, to graph the different types of valentines, to compare and contrast and to give their opinion. It’s always interesting walk around and see how different students organize this task.

Some take each valentine one at a time and add them to
the tally, while others look for each category on the sheet. And of course, still others just randomly
pull a valentine and put it back!
The back of the sheet asks students to tally different categories of valentines and use the information to answer 3 questions. I've found this to be a great way to put some focus onto passing out the valentines, and it doesn’t hurt that they’re getting a little review and practice in with it, too!

I've also taken out my Valentine centers to use last week and this week during our math time. I really LOVE the letter delivery activity. It really gets my kiddos thinking about numbers! You can check out my centers by clicking the image below. I created them to be quick and easy!
Happy Valentine's Day!
That's a great idea! I love how you make it interactive!
