Valentine’s Day Activities for Primary Grades

Every February, classrooms across the globe host Valentine’s Day parties and make Valentine’s Day crafts. Why not bring a bit of “love” to your writing groups with a Valentine’s Day word wall and writing prompt resource?

Each of the sixteen vocabulary cards includes a large-print, easy-to-read Valentine’s Day word and an image to aid retention. We have also included four accompanying worksheets to have students practice identifying the new vocabulary words and using them in their writing.

Through this activity, students will show increased vocabulary and improvement in writing informational text.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding
