Looking for something fun to capture your preschoolers, kindergartners and young elementary aged students during Teletherapy sessions? Need something new to motivate your students to write? Check out this fun Valentine slide deck to work on visual perceptual, handwriting and language skills.

The Winter Animal Slide deck and Christmas peek-a-boo games were such a hit that I’ve created another similar game with a Valentine’s Day theme.

This slide deck will pair the excitement of guessing the hidden object behind the hearts and then prompt your student’s to practice their handwriting.

This is a great activity to use before making those Valentine’s day cards or after (if you have those students that like to work quickly and need more writing practice).

Use this activity as a stand-alone or after you teach your targeted writing goals to reinforce letter formation, sizing, spacing, and/or spelling.

Valentine’s Day Slide Deck

This is a fun slide deck with a Valentine’s Day theme can work on the following skills:

• Visual figure ground (being able to locate something in a busy background).

• Visual closure (Being able to identify an object when only seeing a portion of it).

• Visual attention (waiting for the next hidden object to appear on screen).

• Receptive and Expressive Language (could target “wh” questions, single words, beginning sounds, colors, shapes, etc.).

• Fine motor skills (Practice writing the words or for younger students, draw a picture).

Valentine’s Day Visual Perceptual Activities

There are 7 different Valentine’s day inspired objects hidden behind the hearts to challenge your little ones visual figure ground, visual attention and visual closure skills.

• Candy bar

• Teddy bear

• Cupid

• Cupcake

• Flowers

• Balloons

• Card

The first slide will have only a small part of the object revealed.

The second slide will have half of the object revealed.

The third slide will reveal the hidden object

The fourth slide will have the printed word to copy.

How to use the Valentine’s Day Slide Deck

Different ways to play:

• You can grade this activity up/down by increasing or decreasing the speed in which you change from slide to slide.

• Add a memory challenge by saving the writing practice until the end of the game. Test your student’s to see how many words they can remember.

• For older students, use it as an opportunity to self-correct their handwriting. Check for spacing, letter formation, sizing, placement and spelling.
