Today, we're going to explore a special day that makes many people feel warm and fuzzy inside—Valentine's Day! It's a day filled with love, friendship, and special treats, but have you ever wondered why we celebrate it with hearts?
Before we dive into our lesson, let’s play a little imagination game! Close your eyes for a moment and picture this:
Now, open your eyes! Hearts are everywhere on Valentine’s Day: in cards, decorations, and candies. But guess what? They are more than just pretty shapes!
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, people used to send secret messages to their friends and loved ones. They didn’t have text messages or emails. Instead, they used special pictures and symbols. Can you guess what shape they often used? That’s right—HEARTS!
Hearts are a symbol of love and caring. Just like how we feel happy when we think of our family and friends, people used hearts to show their feelings too!
To start our lesson, let’s create our own colorful hearts! You can use crayons or markers and design your heart with your favorite colors. Once we finish, we can share our hearts with each other and talk about who we love or care for, just like people did a long time ago!
Let’s make our hearts shine and fill our classroom with love as we learn about why hearts are a big part of Valentine’s Day!
