(Make heart shape with thumbs and pointers)
You'll find a message, if you'll look. (Open palms)
I'll use an envelope for this (Two fists together)
I'll write my mane, then seal a kiss.
What color shall I hive to you?
Orange, purple, green or blue?
Yellow or pink? White or red?
Or maybe a lacy one instead.

Mother's Valentine
Listen mother, you know what?
On Valentines day I love you a lot.
So I'll throw you a kiss, mother of mine.
I want you for my Valentine!

Will you be my Valentine?
Children sit in a circle, choose one child to go first. While the rest sing the song the first child walks around the inside of the circle and then picks a special friend to dance with.
Who will be my Valentine, Valentine, Valentine?
Who will be my Valentine,
On Valentine's Day?
Child's name will be your Valentine, Valentine, Valentine.
Child's name will be your Valentine,
On Valentine's Day.
