All about Valentine’s Day

Gabriele Uplawski: Valentine’s Day© Persen Verlag, Buxtehude 2


Every year people celebrate Valentine’s Day on 14 February.

The day is named after Saint Valentine. But who is Saint Valentine?

This is the legend:

Valentine was a priest who lived 300 years A.C. in Rome. Emperor Claudius didn’t want

young men to get married because he wanted them to be good soldiers. But priest Valentine

married young men and women secretly.

When Claudius found out about this, he decided to kill him. He put

Valentine into prison. There, Valentine fell in love with the daughter

of a prison officer. Before he was killed, the priest sent a love letter

to the girl and signed it “Your Valentine”.

We’ll never know if the story is true. But because of this legend people write Valentine’s

cards. They often call them “valentines”. Some people just sign their card “from me”.

They don’t write their name because they think secrets are very romantic.

Red and pink are the favourite colours for Valentine’s Day. There are

some typical symbols, too: The heart and the red rose stand for love.

Valentine’s Day is a great day to celebrate our friends

and loved ones. Everybody writes Valentine’s cards.

Some people also give little presents, for example a

heart-shaped box of chocolates or a red rose.

School children decorate their classrooms

with red paper hearts.

Valentine’s Day rhymes and songs

A funny Valentine poem

Here is a valentine*

I made it just for you

With paper and ribbons

And lots of sticky glue

I cut it with my scissors

And designed it with my paint

If I tell you that I love you

Do you promise not to faint**?

*valentine = here: Valentine’s card; ** faint = in Ohnmacht fallen

A Valentine’s Day rhyme

To each and every friend of mine

I’ll send a lovely valentine.*

Mum, Dad, sister and brother, too.

Will get a heart that says:

“I love you.”

Song: If you want to show your love(Tune: ‘If you’re happy and you know it’)

If you want to show your love, share a smile.


If you want to show your love, if you want to show your love,


If you want to show your love, lend a hand.




If you want to show your love, use nice words.

All about Valentine’s Day – heart mates (questions and answers) Dieses Puzzle dient der Verständnissicherung des Lesetextes ‘All about Valentine’s Day’. Die Herzhälften werden in ausreichender Anzahl für die Klasse kopiert und ausgeschnitten. (Dabei können die Fragen auf rotes, die Antworten auf rosafarbenes Papier kopiert werden, ggf. auf DIN-A3 vergrößert.) Alle Schüler erhalten eine Herzhälfte. Im Anschluss suchen sie ihre heart mates. Die Herzhälften können anschließend zusammengeklebt und im Klassenraum aufgehängt werden.

Many people believe that it is true but nobody knows for sure. A game: Find your heart mates!Diese Spiel kann als einfache Variante ohne Sprachproduktion gespielt werden (s.o.). Die Vorlage kann aber auch genutzt werden, um typische Redewendungen zu üben. Dazu kann die Lehrkraft die beiden Herzhälften vor dem Kopieren mit Wortmaterial beschriften.

Hier ein paar Vorschläge: Happy – Valentine’s Day! Be – my Valentine! You’re a – great friend! You’re – special/great/... Thank you – for being there/for being my friend! You make me – happy/feel special ... Valentine’s rhymes and songsDie Reime und Gedichte können die Schülerinnen und Schüler auch für die Gestaltung von Valentines Karten nutzen (s. S. 8: A do-it-yourself Valentine’s card).

Valentine’s cardsLösungswort: F R I E N D S

A do-it-yourself-Valentine’s card You’re ssensssssssational! – (snake/Schlange); You’re so sweet! – (lolly/Lutscher); Bee mine! – (bee/Biene); You light my fire! – (dragon/Drache); You’re purrr-fect! – (cat/Katze)

Valentine’s cards werden nicht immer unterschrieben – als Absender steht oft from me, from a secret admirer oder from someone who loves you (very much/from the bottom of his/her heart) oder from your Valentine. So bleibt es ein Rätsel, von wem die liebe Karte ist.

Valentine’s Day surprise breakfast Diese einfache Leseverstehensaufgabe animiert zur Nachahmung. Die Schülerinnen und Schüler können ihren “loved ones” ein Über-raschungsfrühstück bereiten. Lösung: 4 – 1 – 3 – 2 Als spielerische Ergänzungen:

Heart Pricks Die Lehrkraft zeichnet ein großes Herz an die Tafel, in die Mitte ein kleines weißes Herz. An einem aus Fotokarton ausgeschnittenen Pfeil wird ein Magnetstreifen oder ein doppel seitiges Klebeband befestigt, sodass der Pfeil an der Tafel haften bleibt. Einer Schülerin/einem Schüler werden die Augen verbunden und sie/er wird drei Mal im Kreis gedreht bevor sie/er versucht, den Pfeil in dem kleinen weißen Herz zu platzieren.

Saint Valentine Says Spielvariante von “Simple Simon Says”. Eine Schülerin/ein Schüler übernimmt die Rolle von Saint Valentine und sagt: “Saint Valentine says clap your hands.” Die Kinder katschen in die Hände. Auf Anweisungen ohne die Einleitung “Saint Valentine Says” dürfen die Kinder nicht reagieren. Weitere Ideen für Anweisungen: … touch your nose. … shake hands with your neighbour. … stand on one leg. … hop on one foot. … fold your hands on your back. … cover your mouth with your hand. … touch your heart. … make a heart shape with your hands (put thumbs and index fingers together). … stomp your left foot on the floor. … write a heart in the air. … put your right hand on your neighbour’s shoulder. … make the “Give me five” sign with your neighbour. ... What’s the time, Mr Valentine? Dieses Spielvariente von “What’s the time, Mr Wolf?” kann auf dem Schulhof oder in der Turn-halle gespielt werden. Alle Kinder stehen an einem Ende des Spielfeldes, ein Kind (oder die Lehr-kraft) – Mr Valentine – steht am gegenüberliegenden Ende. Die Kinder brüllen: “What’s the time, Mr Valentine?” – Mr Valentine antwortet: “It’s three o’clock.” – Die Kinder gehen drei Schritte nach vorne. Nach diesem Muster wird fortgefahren, bis die Kinder ganz nah an Mr Valentine sind. Wenn dieser mit “It’s midnight” antwortet, laufen die Kinder davon. Das Kind, das von Mr Valentine gefangen wird, ist der neue Mr Valentine.
