Demonstrate it.
First get brown lunch bag.
With the sack flat, fold vertically along the center.
Cut a handle in it towards the top, cutting with the fold in the scissors, and other possible decorations along the sides.
Make sure the bag is still sturdy enough to hold cards.
Decorate with markers, stickers, and/or construction paper.
Write my name on the bottom.
Give students phrases relating to Valentine's Day.

"I'm your friend" " Be my friend" "Be kind" "Secret Buddy" "I like you"
