Kids Valentine Party
Ideas
By Cammie Moise
Valentine's Day is around the
corner. Are you looking for some
great games that kids can play
in the classroom? Here are
several great Valentines Day
party classroom games.
Word Find
Start with the word Valentine,
see how many words you can come
up with in 1 minute. Continue
with more Valentine related word
such as: Valentine, sweetheart,
Chocolate, flowers, friends,
cards, etc. and find as many
little words as possible before
the timer runs out.
Example: Chocolate
Words: late, at, ate, tea, tale,
tool, cool, hat, hot, cat,
coat...
Valentine Dictionary
Have some Valentine words
written on cards, place them in
a container. Divide the students
into two groups. The first team
chooses a word, when the timer
starts (1 minute) they draw
clues to get their team to guess
the answer. Teams score 1 point
if they guess the correct answer
before the timer goes off. Then
they switch and the other team
takes a turn. You can set a
word, point or time limit to
decide when the game ends. Here
are some word suggestions:
valentine, broken heart,
cupid, arrow, fall in love,
dozen roses, chocolates, crush,
girlfriend, boyfriend, hugs,
dance, love letter, February,
card, jewelry, flowers
Cupids Surprise
Before your party wrap enough
small prizes for each guest in a
box. Then wrap it in a larger
box, then larger and larger etc.
Each box should be wrapped in
red, pink or Valentine paper.
Sit the guests in a circle and
play music while the box is
passed around the circle. When
the music is stopped, the player
holding the box begins to unwrap
it. Then, start the music
again...the box is
passed...music stops...unwrap
etc. Continue like this until
the final box is unwrapped and
the prizes can be passed out.
Stacking Heart
Challenge
Make a tower of hearts, it isn't
as easy as you think. This
racing game is lots of fun
filled with cheering and
laughing. You'll need to buy
plenty of small conversation
hearts, I recommend a few bags.
The object of the game is to
build the tallest tower in the
allotted amount of time (30
seconds should do). When the
time is up, the kids count the
hearts to see who is the winner.
Then the next to players have
turn. This game is usually a big
enough hit for each player to
request another turn.
