Saint Valentin: message secret. A word search with a hidden message. See second page for this (you might not want to print a class set of this page!). Probably suitable for higher ability as you could ask them to do all sorts with it like translating/writing own message etc.
Saint Valentin: Mots Cachés. A straightforward wordsearch with upwards differentiation e.g. translate the words. See also second page for ideas: you may not want to print 30 of these so only print page 1 :)
Saint Valentin: Mots cachés. Straightforward word search but with differentiation possibilities including translating the words- see second page. Would make a good starter or introduction to Saint Valentin vocabulary.
