Valentine Activity / Game Idea #1

valentine heartGuessing Games

Before the party begins place several heart suckers into a plastic jar.  Be sure to count these as the kids will take a guess as to how many there are.  You can have a second jar with colored M & M's or candied hearts.  Make up several jars with different candy and have a prize for each child whos guess is the closest.




Another fun guessing game is to place several Valentine objects around the room. Then one child gets to start and they pick one of the items and describe it. They do not actually pick up the item but only have the item in their mind.  Then as they describe it the other children have to guess which Valentine item they are talking about.

Valentine Activities and Game Idea #2

Broken Heart Games

This game can be done as a contest or just for fun.  Create several large hearts with craft foam.  Place the pieces in a bag for each child.  To do this as a contest, have each child put together their broken heart.  The one to complete the puzzle first wins.

Another version of this game would be to write each child's name on the heart before you cut it into pieces.  Then cut into several pieces and mix them all together.  Then divide the pieces evenly amongst the kids.  When they put the pieces together they have to go around the room and find their matching pieces. This version is a bit more difficult but can be really fun as you watch the kids try to find all their broken heart pieces.

Another fun way to play with broken hearts is to cut each heart in half.  Then have each child pick one half of a heart.  They then have to find their other half. This is a fun way to pair kids up for a game or contest.

Valentine Activities / Game Idea #3 - Candy Fun!

Relay Race

Have some fun with the Valentine candy.  You can do a relay race with the candied hearts that have the cute little sayings.  Simply put two tables at the opposite sides of the room.  Place several candied hearts on one table.  Put in separate piles for each team.

Then have the kids race down to the table (one child at a time) and pick out a piece of candy with a specified saying like "you're cute".  They have to look through the candies to find the right saying.  Once they find it they race back to the table and it's the next child's.  Give each child a new word or saying to find. Be sure that the candies laid out on the table have each of the sayings you are using for the game.
