About this resource
Description
Writing a Valentine to someone special is a real reason to spell, and children love it. This dear valentine activity helps kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade students practice spelling the words for the people in their lives, such as Mom, Grandpa, cousin, teacher and bus driver.
The pack has eighteen word cards, each word set inside a frame of little red and pink hearts, plus two blank cards for your own words. Children pick a word card, copy the word onto the Dear line of a Valentine card, write a kind note, sign their name and give it away. A 1st grade practice worksheet asks students to finish six sentences, like My mom’s mother is my grandma, with people words from a word box.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page
- 18 heart word cards, including 2 blank cards
- Valentine card templates with Dear and Love lines
- A 1st grade practice worksheet with a word box
- Answer keys for the word cards and the practice page
Why This Valentine’s Day Spelling Activity Helps Kids
First, copying a word for a real person gives spelling a purpose, so children check every letter with care. Second, the people words build vocabulary for family and community, which helps children talk and write about the world around them. Third, writing a short kind note is early sentence writing practice wrapped in a fun holiday task.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Set out the dear valentine activity at a writing center in February, or use it at home to make cards for family members. Children can write the person’s real name under the word card word. This kindergarten community activity is also a sweet way to thank the helpers at your school.
