What you will need:

  • 2 red hearts made out of tissue paper (make extras incase they tear)
  • 2 paper plates

Instructions:

1. Cut several 4-5 inch hearts out of tissue paper.   

Directions: Split the kids into two teams. Have the kids line up behind a start line with a tissue paper heart in front of each team. On go, the first person on each team using a paper plate fans their tissue paper heart across the room to the finish line. They then pick up their heart, run back to the front of the line and place the heart in front of the next person. The next person then fans their heart across the room. Keep going until the whole team has gone. The first team to finish wins.

9. Graffiti Wall | Cul-de-sac Cool (Me!)

Sometimes entertaining older elementary students is hard. I’ve found that taping paper to a blank, large wall and giving them a bunch of markers to draw/write what they want entertains them for a long time! My rule is that it has to be kind, no mean graffiti! For Valentines’s Day you could have them draw or write about something they love (their family, their pet, dancing, sports, etc.) or make it a Kindness Graffiti Wall where they draw/write something kind about someone else.

What you need:

  • Large roll of art/craft paper (I used paper from our teacher’s work room)
  • Scissors
  • Painters tape
  • Markers

Instructions:

1. Cut a large piece of paper from your teacher’s work room or art room.

2. Using your painters tape, tape to a long bare wall. This is usually a two-person job. Place low enough kids can sit or stand to draw.

3. I just scatter the markers around below the paper for them to use.
