LOVE BUGS!!!
I am loving the LOVE BUG!!! I think you could do many lessons using a Love Bug Theme!!! Here are two free printables that are all about the Love Bug!!!
First up is a Roll and Draw a Love Bug Game. All you need is the free printable and some dice. The object of the game is to roll the dice and day all the parts to your love bug. First player to have all six parts on the love bug wins.
“Hi Colleen,
I LOVE your love bug idea, but it didn’t fit with what we are learning. We are doing tens and ones and numbers to twenty. I hope you don’t mind that I changed it around a little bit to match up with the Math in Focus chapter that we are doing. I’ve attached it for you. Feel free to share. Cindy Parr”Thanks Cindy, I checked out your sheet and created a new sheet based on what you were looking for. Below is the new Love Bug Sheet with the Tens and Ones concept.
I was at Sam’s Club and ran across these fruit heart shaped snacks (also available at Amazon by clicking here)… I created two activity sheets to match these yummy treats!
download the graph and compare sheet here. - Grades 1, 2, and 3. They will need to create a graph, read it, and answer questions about it. Then, they are asked to look at a friend’s graph and tally their friend’s results, and finally finish up by comparing the two results!

How about YOU fill my heart to BEE my Valentine???
You must supply markers but only set-up required is to print and cut-out a set of cards!!! Be the first to fill you heart by covering all the circles. To play: Players take turns in order drawing 1 card and performing the act on the card. For example: If the card says +3, then the player would add 3 pieces to their heart. If the card asks the player to give a piece away, they must give one piece away, if they have the piece to give. If they do not have any pieces on their heart, they do nothing and it is the next persons turn. Play continues until someone covers up all the circles on their heart! Grades Pre-K to Second!
Here is a fun dice game… just grab some dice and print one of these for each student. They can play with partners. Let’s see who fills up their chocolate box first!!!
Below are some of the cards to a Valentine’s Day Puzzle game. This is played like our FREE Gingerbread Puzzle game that has been a hit in many a classroom. Click here to view that free game and to get an idea of how this is played.

Left, Right, Center (Post Office)!!!
SET UP: Each die in LRP has a single envelope on three of its sides; the other sides are marked with an L, an R, and a picture of a Post Office Box. You need at least three people to play, but there is no upper limit on number of players. You will need three dice and each player needs three envelope graphics (used as tokens).
Place the large US Mail Box in the middle of the table. Put the dice in the middle of the table and give each player his or her 3 envelope tokens to start. Pick the person who has the Birthday closest to Valentines Day to go first and then play will move clockwise from there.
TO PLAY: If you roll an L or an R, pass a token (envelope) to the player sitting to your left or right, respectively. If you roll a mailbox, put a token (envelope) on the mailbox in the middle of the table. If you roll a envelope, keep an envelope token.
On the first turn, each player will roll all three game dice. After this round, a player may only roll all three dice if he or she has three or more tokens /(envelopes).
If a player has one or two tokens (envelopes), he or she only rolls one or two dice, respectively. If a player has no tokens, he or she skips his or her turns until another player’s roll gives him or her a token (envelope) or tokens (envelopes) again. Play continues until only one player has any tokens (envelopes) left — he or she wins the game.
This is going to be a fun VDAY party!!! You can find this game in the Teaching Heart Valentine’s Day Game Packet!!!

MORE FREE TO PRINT!
You will need a bag of Hershey Kisses for these gems... I know, I use food a lot in my freebies and many schools say no to food... good things is you can modify and instead of Hershey kisses use another shape to do these activities. Or you can tweak these actvities to match the standards you are working on.
The first activity is a CVC reading matching activity. The student reads the word and matches the picture to the correct word. Print the file and glue the pictures to seven kisses.
|
The second activity is math fun. The student solves the problem on the kiss and then covers the answer.
In this picture you see 3+3 and the student would need to cover six. You can download the printable for both of these actvities by clicking here. |
You
can get the valentine packs that come in a large bag with
44 pouches inside. You will need to give each student two
packs. Have them open the packs and lay them on the given printable to form a graph. Then the students answer questions about their bags of candy. Finally they compare their graphs with another classmates! Lots of fun with math and reading going on. You can click here to download the free Sweethearts Activity. |
