Last-minute Collection of Valentine’s Day Resources

Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. If you’re looking for some last minute activities to do in your classroom, take a look at these resources that I featured earlier in the month.

Storyboard That offers templates for designing and printing Valentine’s Day cards. To do this your students will first have to create a simple three-frame storyboard. Then they can print the story in a foldable card format. In my video embedded below I demonstrate how to create a Valentine’s Day card on Storyboard That.

Canva offers design templates for almost every card-giving occasion. That includes offering Valentine’s Day card designs. In the video below I demonstrate how to use Canva to design cards.

If you’re wondering if you can use Canva with students under the age of 13, please read this statement from Canva’s CEO Cliff Obrecht.

Science & Math Connections

The following video from It’s Okay To Be Smart (produced by PBS Digital Studios) explains why humans kiss, the history of symbols associated with kissing, and some cultural views of kissing. When I saw this video I immediately thought of my friends who teach middle school and high school health classes.

The following fun video, also from It’s Okay to Smart, attempts to use math to determine the odds of a 25 year old woman finding love in New York. (Remember, the video is just for fun).
