Hello, Homophones… With a Valentine’s Day Twist!

Valentine’s Day is coming up, and what better way to celebrate than by integrating a bit of sweetness into every subject? We’ve created a fun set of Valentine’s Day-themed homophone task cards to help your elementary students review homophone usage.

Students read through the task cards and determine which homophone is the best to use in each sentence. They will then record their answers on the recording sheet.

An answer sheet is included with your download for students to self-check their answers. 

Scaffolding + Extension Tips 

Support struggling students by providing them with reference materials such as a homophones anchor chart.

Drop That Homophones Worksheet! Try Task Cards Instead!

A dedicated, experienced educator team created this resource for students to work on independently in your Valentine’s Day writing centers or stations. However, check out our suggestions for using this activity to reinforce your small group and full-class lessons, too: 

🏫 Whole Class Instruction

Project the task cards on a whiteboard and work through each together, discussing different ways of approaching and completing the questions.

🧮 Small Group 

Teach concepts in a small group setting. Students can use mini whiteboards to “show and share” their work for each problem.

✏️ Individual Practice

For an independent task, students can use their writing notebooks to record their answers.
