Music & Movement:
Play Musical Hearts. Tape large pink and red hearts,
(either cut from posterboard or bought in the
Valentine's Day decorations dept. of your local dollar
store,) in random positions on the floor in your circle
area. Have enough hearts for there to be one for
each two children. Pair up the children on the hearts
and explain that this game is similar to "musical
chairs." Play some music, and let the children skip
around the room while the music plays. Then take
away a heart. When the music stops, the children will
have to pile onto the remaining hearts. Continue
reducing the number of hearts until there is only one
left. The children will have to help each other as it
gets harder and harder to fit onto the remaining space.

Morning Circle:
Review yesterday's letter ("Q") by asking the
children if they can think of a word that begins with
that letter. (The goal is not to tell them the letter,
but to see whether they can remember it on their
own.) If they have trouble remembering "Q," give
them some clues. They will probably mention "quilt"
and "queen." Play a rhyming game. See if the
children can come up with some rhyming words for
"queen." It's fine if they come up with a few
nonsense words. Steer them in the right direction
by suggesting correct answers like "seen," "green,"
and "lean." Try to find rhyming words with "quilt,"
("built," "stilts," "wilt," etc.)

Heart Size Sequencing Bible Verse
This is a printable game for children who are learning about sequencing
and order. Children place the hearts in order from smallest to largest,
then read the bible verse that is written on them.
Create a Classroom "Giving Tree"
Use a small tabletop Christmas tree or similar small tree, and "decorate"
it with things the children want to give to those they love. Give each
child a heart shape cut from cardstock. Help the children to write (or
draw a picture) of something they can sacrificially give. For example,
one child might promise to take out the trash for his busy parent.
Another might promise to help her younger sibling pick up her toys.
Another child might decide that giving away part of his birthday money
to his Sunday School class might be something he could sacrificially
offer. Help the children with ideas based on their particular situations.
Then punch a hole in the top of their heart-shapes, tie a ribbon through
the hole, and let the children place their promises on the "Giving Tree."
Valentine's Day Boxes
Provide a shoe box for each child. Offer a variety of
decorations and art supplies. Cover each box with pink,
purple, or red tissue or wrapping paper, then let the children
decorate them to their heart's desire, just like in the
circle-time book, Queen of Hearts.

Set up a Valentine's Day postal center.
Decorate a large box to be the Valentine's Mailbox. Provide a variety of
"mailbags" as well as envelopes, paper, pens, stickers for stamps, and
rubber stamps and ink pads. Let the children's imaginations guide them
in dramatic play as they become Valentine's postal workers.

Foamy pink hearts.
Cover the children with protective paint shirts and let them play with pink
shaving foam. Use cheap shaving foam to draw large fluffy hearts on a
long table. Place a few drops of red food coloring here and there in the
foam. Let the children help it turn pink by mixing it with their hands. This
activity will stain little hands (and clothes!) Take proper precautions.

Heart-shaped doily reliefs.
Tape various sizes of heart-shaped paper doilies onto a table. Cover
these with a paper table covering or butcher paper. Provide pink and
red pastels or crayons, and let the children rub over the doilies to reveal
heart-shaped patterns.

| Bible StoryTime: The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein. Explain that Jesus' sacrifice of himself is very much like the tree in this book. Briefly relate the story of the Prodigal Son. Explain that the boy's father in the story gave so much to his son, and even though the boy was selfish and ungrateful, the loving father waited for him. When the son returned and was truly sorry for the bad things he'd done, the forgiving father gave him the best of everything he had. |
| Bible Verse Bracelets: 2 Corinithians 8:2b-3 "...(T)heir extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own." |
| Bible Song "Down in My Heart" from the Cedarmont Kids Classics "Sunday School Songs" recording. |
