Kick the day off with some focused fun and this Valentine’s Day word scramble. This word scramble is a great morning work activity that will have your students working on spelling and vocabulary. Students can complete this fun brain puzzle independently or with a partner.
Have them unscramble letters to create extra special Valentine’s words like candy, pink, and envelope. Challenge them to see how many words they can unscramble on their own. Then, provide some hints for any unknown words. Don’t worry, the complete answer key is provided, too!
After all the words are unscrambled, students can use them to reveal a special message at the bottom of the page. You don’t have to use this in the morning. . . it’s a great addition for anytime of the day!
Who doesn’t love a good word search? Don’t be fooled by this popular activity by thinking it doesn’t belong in the classroom. A Valentine’s Day word search is a great way to introduce new vocabulary and spelling patterns. It’s a great word work activity that feels a lot less like work and a lot more like fun. The perfect activity for one of our favorite holidays – Valentine’s Day!
Feel like you need to ramp up the rigor? Once students complete the word search have them turn the paper over and challenge them to write a story using as many of the words from the word search as possible. This not only introduces new vocabulary, but also gives students an immediate opportunity to put those words into practice.
Have your class put on their detective hats to complete this fun activity! Your students will decode the Valentine’s Day words by using the secret code.
This printable worksheet activity reinforces many words from the previous puzzles and gives students the next step of writing the words. After reviewing the words in the three different activities, they will be on their way to mastering these sweet words.
Coloring is calming for people of all ages, no matter the grade level. Tap into that positive energy with these Valentine’s Day coloring pages. Enjoy some downtime from that sugar high and have students complete one or both of the coloring pages.
But don’t stop there! Encourage students to turn the paper over and write a special Valentine’s Day note on the back. This makes a nice Valentine that your students can share with their family, friends or another teacher. If you’re feeling extra brave, give them some sequins and glitter to decorate their Valentine’s Day coloring pages.
