What do you do for making valentine bags/mailboxes? Do you have any good management tips for having kids pass out their valentines?

I know some teachers do not have the children put student names on the cards. That way they can just walk up and down the desks giving out the cards. I prefer having them write each child's name on it. It takes longer to pass out, but it is more personal. I have the children create a Valentine box at home and bring it in to show during the party. I have seen teachers staples hearts on a board with each kids name. Staple only around the bottom and the cards get dropped inside. They have one kid at a time go up during class and put them in the hearts.

We will decorate bags (the gift bags with handles) for the children to use as their Valentine bags. A parent generously brought in the bags, stamps, stamp pads, foam stickers, ribbon, etc. for the children to create the Valentine bags. I have great parent support this year! Usually, I have the kids pass out their cards in the morning, as they bring their cards in, as their morning job.
