Valentine’s Day in Spanish class

So, for many years we do not even acknowledge Valentine’s Day in Spanish classes at my school. Honestly, it depends on when it falls during the week and what else we have going on. This year it falls on a Monday, so if you want a fun Friday activity the week before, or to start out your week, here are some ideas.

Valentine’s Day – Para Empezar

If you are looking for a variety of activities to spice up the dreary winter, then this is for you. This has 3 weeks of daily activities that could be used to start a class or as brain breaks. You could start February 1st to bring a little culture to class each day leading up to February 14th.

Or it could also be used all together for a couple-day mini-unit around Valentine’s Day. You could assign the editable Google Slides on Google Clasroom as an easy cultural exploration sub plan. You can get it as a part ofthis Valentine bundle as well.
