Valentines' Day Lesson Ideas 1. Assign each student a secret valentine (another student in class). If you assign each
student's valentine, it takes the pressure off them to pick someone. Students may be
shy, but just emphasize that these cards are supposed to be fun and cheesy - the
sappier, the better. They don't mean that you're really in love with your valentine. You
could even give prizes for the cheesiest, the prettiest, the most romantic, etc. Have
each student make a card for his/her valentine. When they are done, they can put the
cards on the teacher's desk and at the end of class, the teacher delivers the cards and
the students guess who their valentine is: Mi valentín secreto es . . .
Variation: Have students make valentines for the school secretary, principal, a
student who is sick, their favorite teacher, etc.
2. Have students write a mini love story/telenovela and then act it out for the class.
Bring in props to inspire them such as: a fake rose, chocolate, hearts, a Cupid picture,
mariachi hats, guitars, etc.
3. Have students retell a famous love story in their own words. (Romeo and Juliet, Brad
Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Ariel and Prince Eric (Little Mermaid), etc. Play Spanish love
songs while the students are working.
4. In groups, have the students learn different love songs and serenade other groups in
class or other classes in school. They could also serenade a favorite teacher. If you
want to get more elaborate, they can practice ahead of time for the big day and all wear
red, etc. You could give a prize for the best serenade.
5. Have students practice saying cheesy lines to each other. If they'd like, they can
write their own lines. Check them over if they write original lines (for grammar and
appropriateness). Then they see who can present their lines the best to win over
someone's heart (you could use a doll or puppet or another student). Have the class
vote on who did the best job.
** If some students finish their assignments early:
a. They can make hearts with messages to hang on a clothes' line (or tape to
the wall, put on a bulletin board, etc) in the classroom.
b. They can make another valentine for a friend/family member.
c. You can also leave out some books in Spanish with love/Valentines' Day
themes for them to read.

5. Fun Romantic Props
