Love Letters
4
Valentine’s Day will be here soon! In the past, I usually bring in Corazones Dulces (Conversation Hearts in Spanish) and try to do an activity. This year I found a picture on Pinterest from an elementary teacher and adapted it to Spanish.
1. Buy the Corazones Dulces. I have purchased them from many places (Walmart, Target, Walgreen’s, Teacher’s Discovery, and Amazon.com).
2. I show a picture of my example of the Candy letter to my love Antonio Banderas so they can figure out what it’s saying. (modeling) They could jot this down on a white board.
3. Then each student (or put them in pairs) gets a box of candies. I give them time to just look at them, but I tell them “No los comas”.
4. Next they write their own Candyletter. I have them take a photo and email me. You could also just walk around. Very few students will avoid this activity. I like to have the pictures to show to the other class or make a bulletin board.
5. If you want, they could give their cards to someone else without they candies to see if they can fill in the answers. However, this means lots of fingers on their candy. I usually just let them have their candy and eat them too.
Disfrutalo…

I just ordered mine.
Did I mention I’ve also sold the extra boxes as a fundraiser to pay for what I bought and for the Spanish club?
Hey Kara!
Love, love, love the site!!! I wanted to check it out, you are always so creative and such a great teacher! Thanks for sharing your ideas!! I have already ordered the candy hearts for my girls and I was just going to let them eat them, but this is a great idea I can use!!
Having students write love letters would be a great thing to do even without the candy around Valentines Day.
I just ordered the Conversation Hearts in Spanish and I can’t wait to do this activity on Thursday! Thank you so much for sharing. I found your blog yesterday, and you have given me so many new ideas. Thank you! I teach Spanish 1 and 3 in Suwanee, Georgia.
