Here are some Valentine’s Day Movement Activities and Brain Breaks you can use for your excited Preschool and Kindergarten students. They’ll work perfectly between card sharing and candy eating!
Here are some of my favorite Valentine’s Day movement and movement activities.
In this post I’ll share the activities and some links to Free resources and music you can use at home or at school.
Here’s a fun twist on scarf movement. Have children find their “friend” and move with scarves together.
It’s called “mirroring”.
One student will be the leader and then the other student mirrors what they do with their scarf.
You can have students choose a friend-or assign them in pairs.
Ring a bell or clap to switch who is the leader.
Be sure to demonstrate and model what actions you’d like to see them try.
Use the Valentine’s Day Scarf activity videos to give you and your students ideas. Then after the mirror activity, have everyone move with the video.
Kids love to copy each other! You can do these activities and still stay six feet apart too!
Choose 1 student to be the leader.
That student stands in front of the class and everyone copies their actions.
Keep the actions simple and easy to copy.
Write these words on the board for easy reference.
Do each action for 30 seconds.
Have the leader choose the next leader.
