VALENTINE SPIN & COVER (COLOR 3 SHEETS & 1 SPINNER/B&W 3 SHEETS & 1 SPINNER)
Print these sheets out on cardstock (laminate for heavy use). Cut out the spinner card and attach a paperclip spinner with a round head fastener (brad).
Provide vase gems, mini erasers, pom poms, or some other small manipulative for students to use as markers. Young learners will spin, identify the picture, and cover it on their game cards.
Continue until the sheet is completely covered. When using this activity in small group, children will take turns spinning. First player to cover his/her sheet wins. Trade cards and play again!
SWEET SYLLABLES CLAP, COUNT & CLIP CARDS (COLOR 8/B&W 8)
Print these cards out on cardstock (laminate for heavy use). Encourage children to say each picture name and clap and count each word part. They will then use a clothespin to clip the number of syllables.
HEART PATTERN PUZZLES (COLOR 8/B&W 8)
Print these cards out on cardstock (laminate for heavy use) and cut in half. Children will use their visual discrimination skills to match the heart patterns.
COUNTING HEARTS 1-10 (COLOR 2 SHEETS & 10 NUMBER CARDS/B&W 2 SHEETS & 10 NUMBER CARDS)
Print this activity out on cardstock (laminate for heavy use). For small group use, print out multiple copies. Cut out the number cards. Prompt younger students to practice one-to-one correspondence while counting the hearts. Older children may utilize their set recognition skills. Once the number of hearts in a picture has been determined, learners will identify the corresponding number card and place it under the picture in its designated box. Students will continue until all of the hearts on the sheet have been counted.
