Valentine ideas

 https://bigfamilyblessings.com/simple-valentines-day-traditions-to-start-with-your-family-this-year/


Love Scavenger Hunt – Cut out hearts from construction paper, choosing a different color of construction paper for each family member. On each heart write something you love about that family member.  Hide the hearts in the house for a fun scavenger hunt.

Love Jar – Gather enough jars for each family member to have one. Label each jar with the name of a family member. Fill the jar with popsicle sticks labeled with favorite things about that family member.

Post-It Note Love – Place post-it love notes where your child will find them (on the mirror, by her shoes, on the television, etc).

Valentine’s Family Movie Night – pop some popcorn, add pink and red candy-coated chocolates and/or sprinkles. Watch a movie such as The Princess Bride, Beauty and the Beast, Shrek, or The Lorax. Here is a whole list of movies your whole family can enjoy on Valentine’s Day.

Family Love Jar – Starting at the beginning of February, place a jar and a stack of paper slips out. Encourage family members to write special things about your family on the slips of paper.  Read the notes together on Valentine’s Day.

Love Door –  Tape hearts with things you love about your child on his bedroom door while he sleeps the night before Valentine’s Day.

I Love You Meal – Make a Valentine’s Day theme meal as a family. Make heart-shaped pancakes or sandwiches and set the table with fancy dishes.

A Valentine’s Mail Station

We started this tradition a few years ago as my oldest son was learning to read and write and now my kids can’t wait for us to set it out each year. This tradition actually starts at the beginning of the month, but once it’s set up I don’t mess with again.

It’s just a simple invitation on a table in our dining room for everyone to make Valentine’s for each other. I never force it and just leave the materials available but I’m always blown away by how much my kids enjoy this even now, as they’re getting older. I’ve got a whole post on how to set up your own Valentine’s Mail Station with tips on sneaking in a little literacy practice as you go.

3. Pin the lips on the picture

A variation of ‘pin the tail on the donkey’, this one involves a drawn out poster of a face without lips. Then have some cut outs of lips with tape on the back of each one. Blindfold each person, spin them around and watch them as they try and put the lips where they belong! Everyone watching will have a great time too!

3. TOP SECRET VALENTINE TRADITION

Having a Top Secret Valentine is so fun with kids! A week before Valentine's Day, write all your family member's name one of these Top Secret Valentine's assignments.  Each person will get an envelope with their mission on it.  

The goal is to do as many nice things for your "Secret Valentine" as possible before Valentine's Day. On Valentine's Day, everyone reveals who they had. 

Secret Valentines Ideas:

  • Make their bed

  • Hang up their backpack

  • Put shoes away

  • Do their job 

  • Scrape the snow off windows

  • Leave a note

  •  

  • 4. Marshmallow Mayhem? All you have to do is sit at opposite ends of the sofa and toss mini-marshmallows into each other’s mouths. Points for each direct hit or how many are in their mouth

  •  

  • I like you Berry much
