Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I am super excited to share Valentine-themed Creative Activity, Love Idioms and DIY Valentine Card ideas.
FREE PRINTABLE: VALENTINE WRITING ADVENTURE
Valentine Roll-a-Story
Get creative with this fun storytelling game!
Let kids roll the dice and unleash their imagination to weave their very own, novel Valentine’s tale.
Valentine Roll-a-Story is a clever way to boost creativity and language skills. It transforms story writing into a fun game, where kids roll the dice to select story elements. Here’s why you’d love it:
- Students roll dice to select story elements like characters, settings, and plot.
- Each roll creates a unique Valentine’s Day tale.
- Perfect for developing creative writing skills while having fun.
- Great for students (and adults!) of all grades.
Remember, there’s no “wrong” story – every creation is special and unique, just like each child!
LOVE IN LANGUAGE: FUN WITH IDIOMS
Idioms are a fun way to explore vocabulary and get crafty with language. Learning new phrases can go a long way in enhancing kids’ literacy skills.
Try these heartwarming expressions to add depth and emotion to their communication skills:
Heart is in the Right Place
To have good intentions. Example: Though your teacher is strict, her heart is in the right place.
Wear Your Heart on Your Sleeve
To make your feelings known or show your emotions openly. Example: It is okay to wear your heart on your sleeve and not be too shy.
Have a Heart
To be compassionate and forgiving. Example: You must have a heart and listen to your friends.
Encourage kids to use these phrases in their conversations, weave them into a short story, make sentences around them or spot them in their reading.
