Valentine's Day Writing activity - Draw and Write

Love is in the air… and so are creative writing skills! This Valentine’s Day Draw and Write activity is the perfect way to get students excited about writing while adding a touch of artistic fun. With a mix of drawing and storytelling, this resource helps students express their ideas in a fun, engaging, and heart-filled way—because nothing says “true love” like a well-written sentence (right, grammar teachers?).

Students will draw a Valentine’s-themed picture and then write about it—whether it’s a love letter to their pet, a funny Valentine’s Day adventure, or a heartfelt message to their favorite snack (because, let’s be honest, chocolate deserves some appreciation too).
