How to Prep

This simple and fun Valentine alphabet activity can be made with supplies you likely already have on hand!

To start, gather your materials:

Quickly draw a large heart on construction paper and cut it out. If you aren’t sure about your free hand drawing ability and you’d feel more comfortable, sketch a large heart on paper until you are happy with it, cut it out, and then use it as a template to make additional hearts.

To begin this Valentine alphabet activity, quickly draw a large heart on the construction paper and cut it out.

Use a marker or sharpie and write uppercase and lowercase letters scattered about the heart in no specific order.

How to Play

Students begin by pulling a letter out of a grab bag or small basket. They then identify the letter and say the letter sound. You might even challenge your students by asking them to say a word that begins with that letter.

Next, they find the letter on the heart and cover it up with a heart sticker. This is great one-to-one correspondence for letter identification. The activity continues until all letters have been covered up with a heart sticker.
