Valentine's Day in Paris Activities for Kids with Free Printables

This week we're having loads of fun celebrating Valentine's Day, but with a new twist.  

We're celebrating it in Paris!  

Our continent of the month is Europe, so it's working out quite nicely.  I had so much fun planning our activities this week. My husband helped out a great deal too.  Oh, how I miss Europe!

We hope you enjoy all of these Valentine's Day activities and free printables for kids as much as we do!

"The Sunshine Seeks My Little Room" Poem Analysis


This month we're digging into poetry.  I found this poem on the internet.  The source is noted on the printable, along with the author.  


Each kiddo will practice reading the poem and then match up the objects to their lines in the poem.  (A calendar representation and pointer are missing from this photo, but added later.)

Valentine's Day Spelling Words with Chocolate


Valentine's Day Spelling Words with Chocolate


The kiddos will practice their spelling words by covering them with chocolates.  

I learned as we practiced spelling words with sugar cubes, that it was very difficult for the kiddos to form their letters correctly without a template.  Hence why word templates are provided.  


Dinomite and Princess will use M&Ms to create their words.  Bulldozer will use Hershey's Dark Chocolate Chips, as he can not have M&Ms (allergies).

At Night at the French Opera Activity for Kids


A Night at the Paris Opera Activity for Kids


This is by far my favorite activity on the shelves this week.  Mind you I'm biased.  My degree is in music with an emphasis in voice.  It's been a long time since I sang for hours a day in a practice studio and on stage for that matter.  


If nothing else, the kiddos should find this activity very intriguing.  (They're not big fans of operatic singing.)

The kiddos will be introduced to two French Opera Composers and two of their most famous operas. 


They will learn the composer's names and identify their pictures with the cards provided. 


Then they will get a chance to watch one short scene from each opera using the iPad.
