Valentine Crafts & Games

Valentine's Day offers a perfect opportunity to make crafts and play games with the kids or with friends.

Valentine's Day is a day to appreciate loved ones and friends. The symbol for this day of love is a red heart. Celebrate Valentine's Day by making Valentine-shaped crafts and playing Valentine games.

Craft Hearts

Construction paper is the perfect material to make Valentine hearts to be used on cards, decorations or pieces needed for holiday games. Large, plain hearts can be cut into easy or intricate pieces to make a puzzle to use as a game. Leave them plain or glue pictures from magazines on them.

Games for Adults or Older Children

Valentine charades is a family game that will be remembered for years. Print names of romantic movies, books or songs on cut-out hearts and participants will act them out. Another game is to give each participant a sheet of paper with the words "Valentines Day" at the top. These sheets can be decorated with cut-out craft hearts. Participants have a certain amount of time to make as many words as they can out of those letters.

Valentine Games for Kids

Hide heart-puzzle pieces, made as crafts, all around the house and see who can find the largest number of complete hearts once they are put together. Make all different size and color hearts to find and put together during the game.
