Resource Roundup: Celebrate Valentine's Day Remotely

SlidesMania Valentine's Day Google Slides Template

This is a great free Google Slides template that can be used in a variety of ways. Use it to organize your daily activities. Or have a different fun activity linked under each candy for scholars to enjoy. Or use it as a collaborative template with one slide for each scholar so scholars can put Valentine's well wishes for each other within the Slides. However you decide to use it, it is sure to be a hit. 

Jamboard Template for Class Valentine's Day Cards

Grab a copy of this Jamboard created by Megan Venezia (@venezia_megan on Twitter). Click here to open the Jamboard then click on the three dots to the left of Share and click Make a Copy to create your own editable copy to use with your class. 

This Jamboard template was designed to allow scholars to share Valentine's messages with each other. 

If you have more scholars than the Jamboard has premade, you can watch the screencast here made by Megan Venezia explaining how to expand it to suit your class size. 

Share the Valentine's Love on Flipgrid

Use custom Valentine's Frames to have scholars create Flipgrid Valentine's for each other or for their families (or both). Easily share any Flipgrid Valentine's for families through Remind. Scholars can use Emojis to create their own custom Flipgrid Valentine's frame. Or teachers can create their own custom Flipgrid frames using directions shared by @theMerrillsEDU. Here are some transparent PNG Valentine's frames I made with a free Canva for Education account and a free Adobe Spark for Education Account that you can attach to your Flipgrid assignment for scholars to use. I made the frames 1600 X 900 pixels as mentioned in this article.
