Do You Know My Valentine?
Tune: The Muffin Man

Do you know my valentine?
My valentine?
My valentine?
Do you know my valentine?
His/Her name is _____________.

Our class plays this singing game when we study the sound of Vv near Valentine's Day. You will need a big valentine, either one you buy in a store or one you make. The teacher can go first to model how to play. Everyone sings the first 4 lines then the one holding the valentine sings the last line, fills in a child's name, and hands the card to that child. Depending on the size of your group you may want to give everyone a turn or save some for later. You can also play this singing game with your family.

Variation: Change the last line to:
He/She's wearing (a/an) (color) (article of clothing).
For example, "He's wearing a gray shirt."

The other students must then guess the name of the valentine. Whoever guesses correctly becomes the next singer.

My heart sings a merry song
