How to Make a Digital Valentine’s Day Card

First, I include directions on how to break up the document into 2 separate assignments (mailbox and cards). This allows you to assign them separately, if you want.

Then, your class will choose from 6 different mailbox craft templates. They can personalize it with candies, cards, and stickers. If your class is new to Google Slides, use these as a warm-up activity a day before making the digital Valentine cards.

As for designing the digital cards, kids will first pick a theme. Then, they’re copy/paste one of the graphics onto a card template. The Valentine sayings have been saved as images so students can overlap the text on top of the graphic, if they want. 

Then, they’ll personalize the “to” and “from” section. And, type a short message to the recipient. Great for teaching about letter writing!

Sharing the Valentines

Your class will share the Valentine cards and mailbox craft in one of three ways through Google Slides and Drive. Or, through Padlet or Jamboard using pngs or jpegs they download directly from Slides.
