Yesterday I started brainstorming my kiddos Valentine’s Day
party. Valentine’s Day is a major holiday at our school so I probably should
have thought it out further than four days ahead. We are celebrating on Thursday because we
have a lovely data day Friday. (The day off is not in observance of Valentine’s
Day like some of my students think)
Last year I made these adorable little robots – they were a
hit! Mostly because the amount of candy involved.
This year I was on the Pinterest search for both homemade
Valentines and an activity. After putting together some different ideas I came
up with *drum roll please*
The Minute to Win It activities aren’t revolutionary, all
are taken from their website and the YouTube example videos. I did turn them
into a Valentines goodie bag which will double as my gift to them. They can
also take home their baggie and play over and over at home – sorry parents!
Here is a look at the activities we will play – I also
turned the labels into a freebie. Check it out if you’re a last minute
Valentine planner like myself!The titles link to the YouTube example of the game...it's an easy way to explain how each is done!
In this game students have 1 minute to separate the colors
of M&Ms into the mini cups!
Students will have one minute to take the tart hearts from
one mini cup, across their table to the other mini cup using a straw.
Candy Pick Up
Using two straws like chop sticks students will have to move
the candy hearts from one mini cup to another mini cup across the room.
Students will stack their cups across the table, blow up
their balloon, and knock the cups over with the air in the balloon in one
minute.
My students LOVED Minute to Win It last year for our end of
the year party – I’m hoping this will be another fun-filled day! Updates will
come Thursday with student participation!
