Valentine’s Day is around the corner! There are so many fun ways to incorporate academic skills into the Valentine’s Day theme.
- Valentine’s Day Sensory Bins
Make learning fun through mini sensory bins. Hide Valentine’s Day vocabulary, colors, shapes, letters, or numbers in the sensory bin. Have students take turns finding the cards and identify what they find. Tailor the activities to your student’s IEP goals.
- Valentine’s Day Math Centers
Play a Valentine’s Day math dice game with your students. Adapt the numbers to your student’s needs. Or use a mystery box and have students take turns pulling numbers of the box and identify the number.
- Valentine’s Day Boom Cards
During circle time or work time, use boom cards to engage your students with Valentine’s day digital alphabet activities. They can identify letters, find letters in a group, or work on beginning sounds.
- Valentine’s Day Adapted Story
Work on color identification with an adapted colorful heart story. Have students engage with the story by matching the correct heart to each page of the story.
- Valentine’s Day Large Group Activities
Hide different colored hearts around the room. Have students pick 3-4 hearts and bring back to large group time. Have large colored hearts on the floor. Have students come up and sort the hearts into different piles. You can sort by color or size. Grab your FREE sorting hearts activities here!
