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.
