Valentine Language Activity

I earn commissions from my affiliated links. Please see my disclosure policy for more details.

This Valentine’s Language Activity is simple and sweet. Perfect for at-home or in-classroom learning, the child will have fun beginning the journey of grammar learning. Depending on the child, of course, this activity can be introduced in kindergarten or lower elementary. This download is offered for FREE over at the Carrots Are Orange Teachers Pay Teachers store. Enjoy!

Valentine Preposition Activity

The idea is simple. Take a heart and an arrow, two iconic Valentine symbols, then design and match the shapes according to the language on the card. You can introduce this concept with concrete materials such as a wooden heart and a plastic arrow, or felt hearts and arrows.

There is a lot of room for creativity here. Printing out the cards allows the child to carry work home with him, which is often a good thing.

Language Activity Supplies

There is a lot of possibility with materials. I created a document that includes control cards, two-part cards using the same language, and the necessary shape cutouts (arrows and hearts). {Print out the document.}

Printer (optional)
Laminator (optional)
Scissors
Glue Stick

Montessori’s Approach to Grammar

Montessori’s approach to grammar begins with concrete symbols, then with 2D grammar symbols. {I created this Montessori grammar symbols key for you.} I love this progression.
