These 25+ Ideas Will Make Your Valentines Day Classroom Party Even Better

December 22, 2024

This blog may contain affiliate links. If you choose to take action (and I hope you do!), I will earn a commission. I have chosen these products because they are awesome and helpful, not because of the small commission I will receive. Thank you!

1. Make a Compliment Box


2. Make Friendship Charms


3. Plant Seeds or Pot Mini Plants

You can reuse so many different items for this Valentines Day classroom party idea! Here are some ideas:

  • Egg cartons
  • Small plastic cups
  • Empty keriug or espresso pods
  • Old restaurant containers

4. Valentine’s Day Bookmarks

These Valentine’s Day bookmarks are easy to print for your students! They’re simple and make your earlier readers experience event better!


5. Decorate Mini Jars For Candy Collection

Bring on the glitter fun! These heart mason jars are too cute! They’re a fun activity and low-cost way to add some extra fun to your students’ Valentines Day this year. If you don’t want to use glitter, try gluing other fun items on the jar and using stickers from the dollar tree. My kids love this activity and have so much fun doing it!


6. Giveout Upcycled Heart-shaped Crayons

Instead of throwing away old crayons from your classroom, repurpose them! Use heart-shaped molds you can easily find at the thrift store and make heart shaped crayons for your classroom.

After you remove the paper from the crayons, place them in the silicone molds. Bake the crayons for about 10 minutes on 300 degrees F. Let the crayons cool and ENJOY!

7. Make Pink or Red “Playdoh”

Making playdoh can be so much fun! If you’re doing this in the classroom, you may need a hot plate! I’ve listed all the ingredients below for the perfect homemade playdoh! The best part is, it’s non toxic! You won’t have to worry about your student accidentally eating it or bringing home harmful ingredients.

8. Give Our Love Coupons to Students (or make your own)

These “love coupons” for your students are the best addition to your Valentines Day Classroom party because they’re easy to print and use. My favorite is the black and white version because my students can color them!

You can use these coupons as prizes for fun Valentines Day games. You can also use the blank version of these coupons to write your own!


9. Create Handprint Heart Art

Nothing says “I love you” at a Valeintes Day classroom party more than making a thoughtful gift for your students’ to bring home. You can print this instant download and use paint to make this piece of art come to life!


10. Valentines Party Cup Punch

I recently used a cup punch game with my son’s birthday party and it was such a hit! It was easy to put together and the kids had a blast. This would be a great addition to a Valentines Day Classroom party because it is low cost and interactive. You could add the classroom coupons or Valentines Day toys.


11. Build Towers with Candy Hearts


12. Create A Kindness Chain

I love this idea for a Valentines Day Classroom party because you can have all the students contribute and use supplies you already have in your classroom. After everyone completes their part of the kindness chain, you can now hang it in the classroom as decor!


13. Valentines Day Tree

Who says trees are just for Christmas time? This Valentines Day tree is such a fun craft for preschool. You can even have the students write their names on the “leaves” to add a personal touch to this craft!


14. Play “Cupid’s Relay Race”

Get the students up and moving with this “Cupids Relay Race” game! The kids will have a blast with this addition to your Valentines Day Classsroom party!


15. Exchange kindness notes

Similar to the kindness chain, you can have your students exchange kindness notes. I’ve had teachers do this instead of exchanging any kind of candy or treats for Valentines Day. I’ve also had a teacher who has done this in class instead of asking parents to purchase Valentines day cards, to relieve the financial burden from parents.


16. Set Up a Valentines Themed Photo Booth

Set up a photo booth in the classroom to engage your students during their Valentines Day Classroom party! They can use these props to celebrate and bring some carefree fun to the party. I love these because you can reuse them over and over again.

  • Heart-shaped sandwiches
  • Heart-shaped mini pizzas
  • Yogurt parfaits with red/pink toppings
  • Strawberry and marshmallow skewers

18. Assemble a “Love Mix”

My students go crazy for this! Its easy to make and a very fun way to celebrate Valentines Day. You can even have students make it with you in class and bring it home with them at the end of the day!


19. Decorate Popcorn Bags for Pink Popcorn

Another option to have at your Valentines Day classroom party, is to decorate popcorn bags! This can be another addition to the Valentines Day party or you can have popcorn instead of candy!


20. Celery Heart Stamps

Have some fun science fun while you’re celebrating your Valentines Day classroom party! Simply grab some celery and paint and have the student DIY their own heart stamps!


21. Musical Hearts

This is one of my favorites because it gets the kids up and moving! After all those Valentines Day treats, they may need to burn off some extra energy with this fun game!

A classic game! I have guess how many jar at every party I throw. It’s so easy and always fun because everyone can get involved!


23. Valentines Day Bingo

B-I-N-G-O. A classic game that hits every single time. I love these bingo cards because they have both pictures and words so even if you’re using this with younger students, they can still participate! if you want to use them year after year, be sure to laminate them!
