VALENTINE’S DAY SCARF ACTIVITIES FOR ELEMENTARY MUSIC CLASS
Here’s a scarf movement video to use on those days when you want students to follow the patterns and move to music. This video is on the Sing Play Create Kids Music Channel
Movement activities encourage brain connections and help children in so many ways!
Movement is a powerful learning tool, particularly for students who are bodily-kinesthetically inclined.
In addition, scarf activities are perfect for exercising and developing gross motor skills.
And, my favorite reason is that moving around with scarves encourages creativity. Scarves are not just for waving around!
Children will take a scarf and turn it into so many different things!
- A costume
- A blanket for the stuffed animal
- A bag to carry toys
- A mat to play on with dolls

WHY CHILDREN LOVE SCARVES
Children love to wave scarves around.
NO SCARVES?
Children can use a towel, bandana, scarf, tissue wrapping paper, washcloth- even a tissue in this activity.
Have your students follow the valentine monster moves using their hands.
Be sure to encourage BIG MOVEMENTS!

I like these because they have a hem around the edges.
