Valentine's Day in Finland Activity

This is a plan to teach a class about Valentine's Day in Finland. Refer to the previous post.


The classroom could be split into different stations.


Stations:
1. Students will learn the background history for Valentine's Day in Finland. There could be a simple crossword activity with keywords of the history.


2. Students could be paired with another student that they do not normally talk to much. They would ask each other questions and learn about each other. They could then share this with the group. This will promote friendships and ties in with the Finnish holiday.


3. Students could draw another student's name out of a jar and make a car for them. The card would include a special note with compliments of the other student.
They can then make a small craft for that person. This could be a picture they draw, a colored picture, a bracelet, or any other simple craft.


After the stations are complete, students will exchange gifts. The whole class will join to together for a couple games, music, and treats to celebrate the holiday.
