Valentine Party Game Ideas That Will Steal Your Heart!

Valentine Bingo

Make your own heart-shaped Bingo cards with a slight variation.

• Write across the top of each card “VALENTINE.”
• Then create the grid of boxes underneath. Fill in each of the boxes with a Valentine sticker or clip art of Cupid, pink, red and white hearts, single red rose, vase of flowers, box of candy, piece of chocolate, bottle of perfume, etc. Anything Valentine-related will do.
• Then take duplicates of these items and affix them to individual index cards.
• Place the cards into a Valentine printed bag.
• These cards will be used for calling out to the guests the items to be covered with a Red Hot or Conversation Heart marker.

Count The Kisses If You Can

• Fill a sizeable glass container with Hershey’s chocolate kisses.
• Have the kids write their name on a piece of heart-shaped paper, along with their guess as to how many Kisses are in the container.
• The youngster who guesses the actual number, or comes the closest, shall be the winner and receive a prize.
• The Kisses in the container shall then be divided among all the children.

Variation: The winner takes all—the entire jar of candy goes home with one child.

Heart Hunt

• Cut out 100+ red, white and pink construction paper hearts. Add more if you have a large group.
• Hide the hearts before the party starts.
• Have the kids try to find as many hearts as possible.
• Whoever gathers the most, wins a prize.

Variation: Divide the kids into teams and after all the kids have found as many hearts as they can, have each team combine all the hearts collected by each child for a grand total. Whichever team has the most number of hearts collected, shall receive their treats first.

Valentine Cupcake Walk

• Tape or lay pieces of paper onto the floor that each have a number written on them.
• Create or use a Valentine printed bag to hold index cards that each have one of these same numbers written upon them.
• Whenever the music begins, the kids should start to walk around the party area while stepping on each of the numbers as they go along.
• When the music stops playing, the kids must step upon the number that is nearest to them.
• Then a number shall be pulled out from the bag and whoever is standing on that number shall select a cupcake and then that child shall be out of the game.
• That number will be eliminated from the floor, as well as the bag.
• The game continues until every child has received a cupcake.

Pin The Heart On Cupid

• Hang a large picture of Cupid on the wall.
• Give each child a red or pink heart with a piece of double-stick tape on the back and his or her name on the front.
• Blindfold a child, spin him or her around, and then let that child attempt to put the heart where it belongs.
• Provide a prize to the winner, which will be the child who gets the closest to Cupid’s heart.

Musical Chairs Valentine Style

• Cut out large heart-shaped pieces of red and pink felt and place the hearts on the ground.
• Have the kids walk around them while the music plays.
• When the music stops, each child must try to stand on one of the hearts.
• Whoever fails to find a heart to stand upon is out of the game.
• Each round, remove a heart until only one child remains, who shall then be declared the winner.
