This is such an amazing time in history to homeschool. The internet is full of awesome teaching ideas! In fact, it is so full of awesome ideas, that it can be overwhelming sometimes. I love Pinterest, but I often hear moms say that it is like information overload. I’m here to help, so I found a few of the best Valentine’s Day educational activities and put them right here in one handy Valentine’s Day round-up.
Valentine’s Day Educational Activities
Valentine’s Day Educational Activities – Language Arts
All About Learning currently offers a free printable game that features candy hearts – Rhyming with Candy Hearts. Just print out the game pieces and start playing.
Valentine’s Day writing prompts are a great way to get reluctant writers writing. I like to cut up writing prompts and put them in a jar. My kids can choose an idea from the jar whenever they feel stuck.
Read Valentine’s Day books – I love book lists because they help save me time. If I see a title that I think my kids will enjoy, I can open my library’s website in another tab and quickly reserve it. I don’t have to spend a lot of time searching for books because other parents have done it for me already!
Valentine’s Day Educational Activities – Science/Math
S.T.E.M. is all the rage right now in the education world, and for good reason! Most kids enjoy these types of activities so much that they have no idea they are even learning. Many S.T.E.M. lessons are sneaky learning at its finest. The best Valentine’s Day educational activities are so fun that kids don’t even realize they are learning.
Chelsey, from Buggy and Buddy, has a fun heart-shaped marshmallow activity. Check out her page to see what your kids can build. My kids are always fans of activities with food! They are always engaged if they get to eat their creation at the end of the lesson.
Use simple store-bought valentines to create a self-checking math fact center. This works with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Graphing candy hearts is one of the classic Valentine’s Day educational activities that I used in my classroom when I was a public school teacher.
Valentine’s Day Educational Activities – Crafts
Sometimes it can feel difficult to incorporate crafts into the homeschool day. We spend so much time planning lessons, so sometimes things like crafts suffer. A lot of kids really enjoy crafting though, so it is nice to have a few crafts ready to go.
Homeschool 4 Life has a printable calendar with a new activity each day for the first 14 days of February. It is not too late to catch up! She even put together a supply list so you can gather everything at once. I love that level of organization!
Lori, from 3 Giggly Girls at Home, shares a way to make Valentine’s Day cards using materials you probably already have at home. These would be great to make for friends using their favorite colors.
Beth, from 123 Homeschool 4 Me, has concocted something guaranteed to make your kids jump for joy – chocolate play dough! This could add hours of fun to your homeschool.
