Valentines Day Classroom Activities

I'm in charge of the valentine's day party for my sons third grade room and unfortunately have to work that day and can't make it in person.  But I'm sending along six centers prepared for the other mom volunteers to help out with.  Here are direction cards for each center in case you want a few ideas.  

Activity #1

Decorating Valentine’s Cookies

Activity #2

Couples Match-Up

When your leader says “Go,” you will match as many pairs or “couples” as you can.  If the whole table can match them within 2 minutes, you get to choose a valentine candy.   Once, they are matched, mix them up and play again to beat your time.

Activity #3

Candy Rings

How to make it:

1. Wrap half a pipe cleaner around the child's finger, and then slide it off. 
2. Take the end of the pipe cleaner and wrap it around the circle to secure the ring. 
3. Place a wrapped candy on the table and add some white craft glue.
4. Place the ring in top of the glue and let dry.  (It might need to dry for a while at their desk.) 
5. Each child can make as many as they’d like.
