Looking for Valentine’s Day piano activities for your students this year? Look no further, because this big bundle of Valentine’s Day piano activities will keep your piano students on their toes during February!

Kids love Valentine’s Day almost as much as they love Christmas and Easter, don’t they? Ah, the candied hearts, the chocolate cupcakes, the Valentine’s Day cards, and … the fantastic musical activities, worksheets, games, and more that you, their thoughtful, forward-thinking music teacher will provide. 🙂

This incredible bundle of musical activities will keep your students entertained and learning for hours.  For most of the activities, you just print and you’re ready to go!

Let’s look at what you get in this amazing bundle of Valentine’s Day piano activities.

1. Valentine’s Day Music Math Rhythm Worksheets

Doing music math is a “hoot” with these cute, owl-themed worksheets.  Students add, subtract, and multiply various note and rest values and write them in the spaces provided.  Some of the features of this set are:

• 10 color worksheets, 10 black & white, and 10 answer keys
• an attractive border and pink heart clipart owls decorating the pages
• the first one has been done as an example
• includes whole, half, dotted half, and quarter notes

Want to save money on ink? Since most of the worksheets/activities in this bundle of Valentine’s Day piano activities do come in color or ink-friendly (black & white) options, simply print the ink-friendly pages on pink paper.  It will still look amazing and be just as attractive to students.

2. Color by Note for Valentine’s Day

If you’ve ever tried Melody Payne’s music coloring sheets before, you already know that they are an incredible learning opportunity for students, not to mention a ton of fun to complete! Here’s what you get:

• 12 cute and adorable Valentine scenes to color according to notes on the staff (6 treble and 6 bass clef)
• answer keys
• notes from bass C to treble C are included in the pictures

The teacher can quickly show students the beautifully completed answer keys for inspiration, or wait until pupils have completed the picture themselves before revealing the answer key.

Either way, the answer keys help make checking the answers that much quicker, whether the students are self-checking, the parents are verifying the answers at home, or the teacher is checking at the lesson.

Remember, once purchased, you can use these Valentine’s Day piano activities forever; this set will be a hit year after year with all your students!

3. Music Spelling Bee Game

This is another one of the super fun Valentine’s Day piano activities in this bundle. There is a lovely, 8 X 10-inch Valentine’s themed game board to print out and 80 cards in total with various notes on the treble and bass staff.

There are also full-page images of all the cards for projecting or using with an iPad if you’d rather save paper and ink.  The game is simple to assemble and play. Just do the following:

• Print the game board and cards on cardstock
• Cut out the cards
• Laminate everything if desired.

You can use this fun and interactive activity to help students review their notes in a game-based atmosphere. The game can be played alone, with the teacher, in a small group class, or in your large music classroom! Use the beautiful certificates included in this set to reward students who have done well.

Additionally, you can choose to use the included assessment pages to keep track of which words students got right or wrong.

I plan to use this game at my next music party.  I’ll definitely award the lovely certificates to deserving students! The certificates say things like, “Presented to ___________ for un-bee-lievable musical spelling!” or for a “bee-utiful job!”  Clever!

4. Valentine’s Day Piano Activities: Matching, Memory Match, & More!

There are such a variety of Valentine’s Day piano activities in this set! Here’s what you get:

• 8 X 10 full color “baking sheets” with four pictures of pink Valentine’s Day cookies on each of them, sprinkles and all
• Music symbol “cookies”, which the teacher cuts out.  The symbols are basic, such as time signatures, accent, ritardando, staccato, sixteenth note, whole note, various rests, dynamic marks, etc.
• An alto (or tenor) clef is included for any instrumental music teacher who requires it
• Blank cards to make your own music symbols if you need additional ones
• Of course, the black & white version of everything in the set is included as well

The options for using these Valentine’s Day piano activities are endless depending on how the teacher wants to use them.  Some possibilities are…

• Have students put a music symbol on a cookie and match it with the corresponding musical term on the cookie that is right beside it (on the baking sheet)
• Use the music symbol hearts as flash cards to drill students
• Turn the flash cards face down on the floor or table, mix them all up, and play “Memory”
• Most of all, have fun with this cute set of cards!

5. Valentine’s Day “I Have, Who Has” Card Game

This is a great game for a student and teacher, a few students, or a small group! It’s wonderful to use as a quick review, assessment, or just to have some fun at your next music party.

After printing these 46 music symbol cards (available with or without the names of the music symbols, and with or without the backs for the cards), cutting them out, and laminating them (if you want to), here’s how to play:

1. Shuffle the cards well and deal them all out evenly to every player.
2. No one should see anyone else’s cards.
3. The student who has the first card says, “I have the first card.  Who has… (she reads her card, which in this case is “forte”.).
4. The student who has forte says, “I have forte.  Who has… treble clef?”.
5. Students lay down their cards as they are used up.
6. The game continues until the last card is reached.
7. There is no winner or loser necessarily in this game.  The goal is simply to discard all the cards, all the while reviewing important musical symbols.

What I have found, (and surely many other music teachers have found), is that very often students will look at a musical symbol and say, “I know it, but I can’t remember the name of it!”.

This particular game is awesome in that students have to say the name of each symbol not once but twice, thus reinforcing the nomenclature we music teachers would like them to know.  Of all the Valentine’s Day piano activities, this is one of my favorites.

Block by block, the mystery image was gradually revealed as I successfully identified notes on the treble and bass clefs.  Try it and you’ll be hooked!
