Valentine's Day in the Classroom: 2 Quick Ideas


 
 
 
These two ideas are easy to implement in any classroom. They're a fun add-on to your existing celebration, or they can be just the right touch for something simple and fun.
 
 
 
1. Bookmarks from Paint Chip Samples
 
 
 
My Social Action Club kids will be selling Valentine's Day cards on Thursday and Friday. I thought that these would be a fun add-on, as well. Grab some paint samples from a local hardware store, a heart-shaped hole punch, pretty ribbon, and you're good to go!
 
Punch a heart through each color on the paint chip and add one at the top for the ribbon. Kids can write a fun message on the back, too!

2. "Spread Love, Not Germs" Hand Sanitizer
 
 
 
 
I use hand sanitizer bottles as bathroom passes in my classroom. No, my students don't take them to the bathroom! They leave them on their desks. This helps me (and the kids) know who's out of the room, and the kids use a quick drop when they return back. I started this routine last year and really love it. When I came across Life Sweet Life Blog the other day, I immediately fell in love with this new post.
 
All that's needed is: a bottle of hand sanitizer, cardstock or sticker paper to print the design, and glue or tape. Download the label and cut them out. Either remove the existing label on the bottle, or cover it up with your new one! I love that she uses fun/fancy "washi tape" or paper tape to add an extra element of cuteness.
