Valentine’s Day Heart Drawing Activity
February is upon us and Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. What is a better way to spend Valentine’s Day than learning about the human heart? I created this fun activity from a combination of activities I have done in the past.
The Heart Drawing Activity
In this activity, your students will learn the basic anatomy of the heart and how the blood flows through the body.
Students will start the activity by drawing a typical Valentine’s Day style heart. Next, they will add the four chambers of the heart. Slide, by slide students will be learning about the different parts of the heart and drawing it at the same time.
Students will learn about the heart and circulation as they draw the heart!
Students will learn some interesting facts about the human heart as they work through the presentation.
Interesting facts like how it is possible to have a broken heart. That’s right! It is possible and there is a name for it. It is called broken heart syndrome. A person can even die from a broken heart although it is extremely rare.
After students finish their heart drawing they will trace the path of blood through the heart by adding arrows to show how blood flow from the heart, pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation.
Even if you have never taught the heart before, do not worry. This heart activity is very simple for students to do.

You might even enjoy joining them in the drawing activity. By joining them you will have a good feel for how long each part of the drawing should take the students.
