Valentine's Day in the classroom (physical or virtual) doesn’t have to be all about writing lovey-dovey letters and risking someone being left out.  But it is a good opportunity for students to engage in some educational fun while learning about what it means to be kind to one another.  In this post, you will find some awesome activities that you can do with your kids this Valentine's Day!

Happy 2021 everyone! This year, as a part of my plan to help build your digital teaching resource collection, I'll be uploading a FREE printable & digital creative writing activity every month! 

These creative writing activities will include:

• A writing prompt with a picture
• Story requirement guidelines
• Story Challenge suggestions (optional)

With not long before Christmas, it can be tough to keep coming up with educational activities and resources that will engage your students. This year, your regular classroom activities may also look a little different if you are also teaching virtually! So, if you are in a flurry to look for some activities ready to go when you are in a hurry, I've got a free one in this post for you! It can be printed or completed digitally too!

Download the free writing prompt worksheet below. It is in PowerPoint format to enable assigning as a digital worksheet to type on, or you can choose to print it too. The writing lines are editable, so if you want to type, just delete the lines and type in the same boxed section. ​

Story Writing Guide Suggestions:

• How do you feel after being lost in the snow for days?
• Who do you find living at the cottage?
• Describe any characters introduced.
• How do you plan to return home?

STORY CHALLENGE: Write about an interesting problem that you encounter at the cottage. End your story with a solution to the problem.

Wishing you a wonderful and safe Christmas!
