Are you looking for an activity for your students to do while they anxiously await their turn to pass out Valentines? A Valentine’s Day Escape Room is perfect to keep your students engaged and *somewhat* under control on the day of love!
Valentine’s day was always one of those days that I looked forward to a dreaded at the same time as a teacher. Part of me loved that the day was full of love and enthusiasm, but the other part of me dreaded the ENERGY that the kids brought with them to school that day. And passing out valentines? That part was total chaos!
Finally after a few years of post-Valentine’s-Day-party migraines, I found a way to get through the celebration with a bit less chaos. Instead of having a free-for-all during which my students would all hand out their valentines at the same time, I would call smaller groups of students to hand out their valentines while the rest of the students stayed at their seats and worked on an activity. Once the first group finished handing out, it was time for another group, and so on.
It didn’t necessarily keep the classroom quiet (it’s a party, of course), but it kept it manageable and under control.
My favorite activity to give students who are *patiently* waiting to hand out their valentines is this Valentine’s Day Escape Room. It’s challenging enough to keep students engaged, and it’s NO PREP for you! It is literally a print-and-go escape room!
So, if you’re like me and like to keep the Valentine’s Day chaos somewhat organized, remember small groups and an engaging activity to keep them under control. Good luck!
