Answer 4

1.  Put their names on hearts - then sing to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb - Will you be my valentine, valentine, valentine. Will you be my valentine, I choose ______ and continue til all have had a turn.

2.  Put paper clips on hearts and let them go fishing with a magnet on the end of a dowel rod.

3.  Names on hearts again - to the tune of Clementine.  It's so lovely, it's so lovely, it says Won't you please be mine.  Wonder who it could belong to - it is ________'s valentine.

Answer 5

try having them count valentines candy hearts, and then they can eat them after so they like the activity. Or make hearts out of construction paper and write happy v-day or something. then have them make a hand or foot print with red/pink paints for their parents.

Answer 6

Get toy fishing poles with magnets on them then get cardboard hearts and put magnets  on them and put the heart in an empty container as a fishing hole.Another game is valentines day 20 objects.You hide them and they go on a scavenger hunt.I recommend the object to be made out of cardboard.Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Get them to all make a valentines card and put them in a circle then mess them all up then tell them to get any card and they can have it, also put heart shaped candy in it! I dunno the other 2

Answer 8

1 - Hide candy around the room and let them find it. Keep some extra on hand to cheer up any child who doesn't find much.

2 - Have them make a giant valentine card. Each group gets a giant sheet of paper and some fingerpaint.

3 - Just give them pink/red/white balloons. Kids will find hundreds of things to do with them. (Catch, soccer, or simply bouncing.) Keep extras because over half will end up popped.

4 - Decorate sugar cookies with frosting. Then eat. Simple yet effective. Even tenth graders go for this.

Answer 9

You can buy those Valentine colored M&M's and have them seperate them by color and count them... Tell them they can only eat them if they counted and sorted them all!!!

Sorry, but thats all I can come up with.... I just came up with that cause I remember doing it when I was little..

lol

Good Luck!!

♥♥HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY♥♥!!!!!!

PS- The first answerer up there had a great idea with the handprint/footprint thing. Maybe have them do both of their hands or both of their feet to make a heart!!!

Answer 10

I remember when i was in kindergarten (i know a year older but still, its a good idea) they had us cut out little hearts, and make a picture frame, out of them, and they had us bring in pictures to put in them for our parents, (we got to write on them) and they had us sit in circles, and count out candies, and they let us eat them afterward, and bring in cookies and had a party, it was fun (I'm not sure if you could do the writing with preschoolers but it was fun, and it kept us entertained

Answer 11

you can make the puzzle with no and then make a big heart in between that with the sequence of no.let the kids join the no seq and complete the heart.let them color that heart with any color they want.

you can even hide some heart shape things like toys Candy's or anything you like give the kids hint where that thing could be let them find it and who ever find more you can give them a gift at end.

Answer 12

i think you could have them make valentine cards for their parents, or paint pictures to decorate the classroom to show their valentine spirit! You could also have them make marble necklaces and have them give those out as gifts to their parents or you could just take a picture of them and have them decorate or make a frame and then wrap that up and give it away!

Answer 13

When I was smaller, we played Tic Tac Toe and instead of O's and X's red and pink hearts. http://www.preschooleducation.com/gvalen... Here is a link to a preschool site and here are the results when I searched

Answer 14

Not sure of the ages of your preschoolers but tomorrow we are having several activities in addition to putting the valentines into the bags. I have 19 children, older fours and fives.

One activity is decorating cookies that we cut out and baked on Monday. We have them in the freezer now.

The second activity is playing hot potato with a small group having a heart shape be the hot potato.

We also have a jar of candy hearts in a glass jar and each child will guess how many candies are in the jar. I have 65 candies in a baby food jar. At the end of the morning we will count the candy pieces as a class to see who is closest.

Our class has a treasure box of little toys, pencils, stickers, etc. that the children get to choose a prize from. Each child gets a participation prize.
