Happy Valentine's Day!

Let your students know you care and put a smile on their faces!

Sometimes, we as teachers are the only ones in their lives to "make it a great day" and are the only ones that can make these special occasions special to them. Your students will love these geography-themed Valentine's Day cards and laugh at the play on words using country names. Your students will have a blast figuring out what each Valentine's card means and sharing them with their classmates.

Examples:

Even if Iran out of rhyme, you would still be my valentine!

(Translation: Even if I ran out of rhyme, you would still be my valentine! In the shape of Iran)

Bolivia or not, you still mean the world to me!

(Translation: Believe it or not, you still mean the world to me! In the shape of BolivIa)

How to Print:

• Print off Valentine's cards on cardstock and cut out
• If printed and cut correctly, fit A2 4.3/8 x 5.3/4 envelopes (if you choose to use envelopes)
• If you wish to or your school district allows, glue or tape a wrapped candy to the card.
• Do not forget those students who have allergies or eat differently and are dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, or GMO-free. "Enjoy Life" brand candy, cookies, and treats meet all these requirements.
