Inside: Best Valentines Spirit Week ideas you need to put into play.
I know that you have heard of spirit week when it comes to high school, but have you heard of Valentine’s spirit week?
Valentine’s Spirit Week was one of my all-time favorite weeks during high school. It wasn’t about the chocolates or the romance. I was just happy to have a reason to celebrate in the middle of my school year! It also didn’t hurt that this was 5 full days of fun activities that broke up the monotony that was High School.
There are many different themed days that you will find on the Valentines Spirit Week roster, but there are a few that are the most popular. Today I will be focussing on those when I show you over 30 Valentines spirit week ideas for you to look through!
But first, I guess we should go over what exactly Valentines spirit week is if it isn’t obvious enough.
What is Valentines Spirit Week?
Well, I am glad you asked! So regular spirit week typically takes place in the first half of the year, while Valentine’s spirit happens during…you guessed it…Valentines day. I much preferred this spirit week because it fell around the time that I would start to get burned out.
For this week, the school has 5 designated themed days that the students get to participate. There are many different themes that schools can go with(most if not all of them surround Valentine’s day), but there are three that are most popular amongst all schools:
- Couples Day – For couples day, all of the couples in the school get to dress up in a couple’s costume and show up to school. It doesn’t have to be like a Halloween costume, though that is allowed. They just have to match in some way to show that they are dating. This day will be Valentines Day if the holiday happens to land during the school week.
- Formal Day – This one is lots of fun. On this day, students are challenged to come to school wearing formal clothes. I am talking formal, as in ready for a ball, type of clothes. It’s a nice little way to switch things up and it’s super fun for everyone!
- Pink Day – No, this is not an alternative cover band for the band Green Day, but that would be interesting, wouldn’t it? Pink Day is a day when all students have to come to school wearing pink.
These are the three that I will be focussing on today, seeing as they are the most popular. So without further ado, let’s jump into some ideas for you to look through to get inspiration for your own Valentine’s Spirit Week Ideas!
Valentines Spirit Week: Couples Day
