Valentine Games

It doesn't matter whether you are planning a Christian, school age or couples only party... it's a good idea to have some games to keep things "rolling" and fun. There are so many fun activities you can choose from... my favorites (because they are so easy to print and play) are a variety of printable games.

You don't want to include games that take a lot of explaining and directions... really - that's not much fun for you and a pain in the neck if someone doesn't "get it". These games are self explanatory with a few simple rules. Most of the games take 5-10 minutes to play so party goers will not get bored waiting for all the contestants to finish.

All kids love a good game of Bingo. For a seated game that might help the kids rest for a minute, play a game of , Valentine's Day-themed bingo. The bingo squares might have pictures on them like hearts, flowers, cupid, arrows and the like. Be sure to have a prize for the winner, and play the game over and over so the kids can all have a turn at winning.

Have a few awards or small prizes on hand... winning a game is great - but nothing says "FUN" like like getting to yell Bingo!

Elementry age kids are going to run and play... it's a party and they are eating crazy amounts of sugar. Burn off a bit of energy and keep them focused with a few Valentine Games To Play Outside

Create a dartboard with balloons. Cut cardboard into a heart shape and staple red balloons (inflated) to the dartboard and let people take a shot at breaking a heart. Be sure to have plenty of inflated balloons on hand to replace the ones that get broken.

"Run With Your Heart Game"
Bring in two large stuffed hearts (either pillows or just plush stuffed hearts). Divide the kids into two teams and tell them they must run to the finish line with the heart between their legs. So they won't run as much as stumbled forth. Once they return to the group, they should take the heart and give it to the next child, who puts it between their legs and so on. Whichever group finishes the entire relay first wins.

A fun family Valentines Day Activity
is to make cards for other people. Have the kids make handprint cards for the grandparents or have the kids make cards for their friends. Handmade cards can be so much more meaningful than the store-bought kind and kids learn a lot from the experience of putting their hearts (literally) into making the card for others.

One of the most appreciated crafts around holiday times can be something that the kids can make at school and then wrap and present to their parents as gifts for the occasion. With some creativity this can be done relatively inexpensively.

Most Popular Valentine Game for Couples


This game is called the "what's this item" game? I can think of a number of items that could be used for this game... but one of the more "racy" ways to play is...

Fill a paper bag with a variety of new undergarments. These should be both genders garments and can include anything from a bra to a lace teddy to a jock strap. Remember - don't used stuff from your own underwear drawer... eww. These are to be NEW items. Each couple feels around in the bag (not on the outside, as this one requires hands-on effort) and makes a list of what they think is in the bag. You can tell people how many items are in the bag, but that's it. So you might say, there are 10 items in the bag; what are they?

If your guests all know each other well, it's OK to play a simple game of 'truth or dare". You might impose rules on the game, such as all the 'truth" questions must originate from the college years (particularly fun if this group of friends met in college) or must be about the current spouse. Keep the 'dare" challenges clean if you think your group would prefer that or by all means, keep them racy, if that's fun too.

You can create a drinking game at the party that requires you take a drink whenever someone kisses you. The kiss can be from the other gender or the same sex, and anytime anyone kisses you anywhere, you have to take a drink or your drink, or to really get things going, from a shot glass.
