Valentines Theme for Preschool

Using the Weekly and Daily Planning FormsIn the weekly planning form, ALL of the boxes are editable! Simply print as they are OR move activities to the days you want them or replace activities with your own!You’ll find my standards listed under each activity. This is where you will enter YOUR program’s standards (that you added to the Conversion Chart) 1. Refer to the conversion chart you completed and look up my Standard Letter/Number.2. Replace that letter and number with YOUR program’s equivalent that you typed into

the Conversion Chart.3. Print!

The Weekly AND Daily Planning forms are both 100% editable so you can move the activities to the days you want to do them or even replace them with your own activities! (If you do that-be sure to change them on the daily planning forms as well AND replace the standards in that box with the correct standards for the activity you have replaced mine with!)NOTE: The blue areas will NOT print blue, don’t worry! Those areas are the “editable areas”. They will print with a white background when you print!

Using the Standards Conversion Chart

1. Type in each of your program’s equivalent standards next to mystandard.

2. Save to your computer.3. Refer to this chart each time you use a theme from Preschool Cubby

A Valentines Day theme can incorporate a party at the end of the theme or not. However, the goal for us has been to focus on what kindness is (even though we focus on it all year) as well as what friendship is.Thank you to Amanda at CreativelyCrafting for the graphics in this theme!

Print and laminate the following page.

Provide dry erase markers or playdough and dice.

I suggest letting the children come up with the rules of the game.

They have wonderfully creative ideas and imaginations.

Encourage turn taking and counting as they play.

Song Card & Song PosterHow to use:• Print and laminate the song card below (it is 5” X 3”).• Place in a can or box with other cards of songs your children

love!• In transitional times (waiting to go outside or wash hands,

etc.), pull out your song box or song can (I use a decorated coffee can!).

• Shuffle the cards in your hands saying “Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle” and your children yell “STOP”!

• When they yell stop, whichever card is on top is the one you sing! The kids LOVE this!

Each month you’ll receive one of these cards that correspond with the song poster for the month to add to your Song Card Collection!On the next page, you’ll find the Song Poster! Print and laminate for use over the years!

The following images are from the calendar pieces.

You can use these in several ways:

• Print and laminate several pages for the children to use to create patterns. Either you begin a pattern using 4-5 of these cards and encourage the children to continue the same pattern. Or, have the children create their own patterns using the cards.

• Print and laminate several pages for the children to use as a matching/memory game.
