Middle School Activities for Valentine’s Day can vary from school to school, but in general, there are many activities that students can take part in to show their love for their partner. Here are a few ideas to get your Middle School students started on this special day:
1. Jar of Hearts
Print a jar for each student in your class. Label them with their names and have a bunch of hearts available. Allow students to write kind things about one another and fill each person’s jar with positive compliments. This is great for building community within your class.
