Valentines Day Party Games

Broken Hearts :

Cut large hearts out of red construction paper. Cut hearts in half, using a zig-zag or other shapes, making each one unique. You should have enough half hearts so that each person at the party gets one. As your guest arrive hand them one of the half hearts and tell them to find their match by finding the other half.

Candy Heart Bingo :

Making the game :

Make your own bingo cards by using construction paper and making a grid five spaces tall by five spaces wide. Draw a heart on the center space and title it the Free Space. Open a bag of candy hearts and use the saying on the hearts to fill in the spaces on your bingo boards. Be careful not to make a board the same as any of the other boards. After using a saying, place it in a large bowl to be used by the bingo caller.

Playing the game :

Give out a board and cinnamon hearts to each player. The player uses the cinnamon hearts to mark the spaces that have been called. The caller picks out a heart and announces the saying, the player then marks the spot with the saying, if they have it. When a player has five in a row ~ up, across or diagonal, they yell 'BINGO'! And they win a prize ~ candy is a good prize for this game.

Candy Heart Jar :

A simple varietion of a guessing game that is always a hit! Fill a jar with candy hearts(doesn't matter which kind), and have guests guess how many hearts are in the jar. The person who comes close without going over is the winner and wins the jar of candy.

Famous Couples :

Write names of famous couples on mailing labels. When you're guests arrive place one label on their back. They need to guess who the famous couple is by asking yes or no questions to other people at the party. They may not ask the same person more than one question. This is a great ice breaker.

Roses are Red... Board :

Use one large white poster board and title it "Roses are red, Violets are blue..." at the top center. Cut one large heart out of construction paper and glue to the bottom corner of the poster board so that it forms a pocket to hold markers, smaller hearts and scotch tape. Cut smaller hearts out of construction paper ~ these should be big enough so that you can write a line or two on them. Place these in the larger heart pocket. When guests arrive tell them to take a heart and finish the next two lines of the poem. Then they stick their heart to the board with scotch tape. Try and fill the board with original and funny ideas for this very old love poem.
