Valentine Games And Activities Children

• Scissors
• Red paper
• Miscellaneous treats (candy, pens, stickers, etc.)

• Cut out 14 red hearts, about 3" in diameter (not too big). Label each one with a number 1-14.

• Starting Feb. 1, hide the heart with number 14 on it, along with a little surprise or sweet note.

• The kids hunt for the heart, and when they see the number on it, they know how many more days till Valentines -- or whatever holiday it is (birthday, vacation, etc.)

• They then put the heart on the fridge or bulletin board or wherever you want the countdown to Valentine's Day to go.

• This is fun for them, helps them learn to count backward, and keeps them from asking "how many days" over and over.

• None

• Players sit in a circle, making sure they can see everyone else.

• One player who is It starts the game by smiling widely, while all the other players are somber.

• It then uses his hand to wipe the smile off his face and throw it to another player who has to catch the smile with his hand and put it on.

• This new It can then wipe off the smile to throw to someone else--though he will probably choose to mug wildly at everyone for a few minutes before relinquishing his happy role.

• Meanwhile, all other players must sit stone-faced. One smirk and they're out.

• The youngest players are the least successful at winning this game (they simply can't stop themselves from laughing), but they also tend to enjoy it the most.

• I have found that this Valentine games and activities children idea is a big hit with the children.

• None

• Have one player lie down on his back.

• The next player lies down with his head resting on the first player's belly and the next player lies down with her head on the second player's belly.

• Arrange all the players until everyone is zigzagged around the lawn or floor, each with his or her head on someone else's belly (if possible, make the line into a loop so that the last player can put her head on the first player's belly).

• Then, the first player shouts, loud and clear, "Ha!"

• The second player responds with a vigorous, "Ha, ha!" then the third player chimes in, "Ha, ha, ha!"

• Continue until all players have shouted out their "Ha's" or (more likely) have dissolved into uncontrollable laughter, with heads bouncing on the bellies of giggling friends, uncles, cousins or grandmothers.

• Pen
• Paper

• Take a Valentine related word such as: Valentine, Chocolate, Romance, etc. and find as many little words as possible before the timer runs out.

• Example: Flowers
• Words: flow, sew, flew, wore, rose, low, row...
