This resource focuses on exploring and celebrating Valentine's Day, specifically through the lens of cultural connections in Spanish-speaking countries. Students will learn about the traditions and significance of 'El Día del Amor y la Amistad,' which emphasizes love not just for romantic partners but for friends and family. The activity encourages students to create bilingual Valentine's Day messages or games that express friendship and appreciation. It includes a background knowledge section on typical practices, such as 'Amigo Secreto,' as well as common expressions in both Spanish and English that highlight different forms of love. Additionally, students are guided to brainstorm personal connections, design creative cards or games, and engage in peer feedback to reflect on cultural insights related to love and friendship.
