Valentine, Valentine, I made a little Valentine.
I wore my little Valentine and I heard some people say,
"A Valentine, a Valentine, what a pretty little Valentine. I hope that you remember that it is Valentine's Day!"
Valentine Rhyme

Five valentines at the corner store
Five valentines; whom are they for?
Along came (child's name) with a penny to pay
He/she bought a (child says color) for (child names another child in the room)
Then he/she went away
Before chanting the rhyme put 5 different colored valentine hearts on a flannel board. As the rhyme is chanted each child chooses one valentine from the flannel board and gives it to one of their friends. Keep chanting the rhyme until all are gone then chant these last two lines yourself.
No more valentines at the corner store
"All sold out," says the sign on the door
What can you do to show you care?
When at the store, the shelves are bare?
If you have no flannel board, you can mount hearts on craft sticks for puppet

In the air.
Wave your valentine
In the air.
Wave your valentine
In the air.
Wave your valentine in the air.
Put your valentine

Put your valentine
On your [nose].
Put your valentine
On your [nose].
Put your valentine on your [nose].
Repeat the last verse, replacing the bracketed word with other body part words in turn, such as head, arm, and foot.
VALENTINES POEM
by Marilyn
This is a very cute song for Valentine's day or any other day throughout the year. Could also use it at grade school graduation.
Love is a circle,
Round and round (make a circling motion with arm)
Love goes up, (raise arms up)
And Love comes down, (lower arms)
Love is on the inside, (pull hands inward towards chest)
Trying to get out, (pull hands away from chest)
Love is whirling and twirling about! (move hands in a spinning motion)
