These valentine games are going to make your kids' Valentine's Day classroom party a whole lot of fun! No matter what size of a group of children you have, these games should work wonderfully.

The great thing about these valentine party games is that they don't require you to purchase anything for them. All the supplies you'll need are clearly listed under each game and should be items that you already have around your home or classroom.

There are rules for each Valentine's Day game but don't afraid to change them to fit the age of the kids or size of the group. You may just come up with your own unique valentine party game!

    Who Do You Love?

    This valentine's party game is reminiscent of musical chairs, but there's no music involved. All kids, save for one, sit in chairs arranged in a circle. The standing children pick a seated child to ask "who do you love?" The seated child answers with something they love, such as "I love the color pink" or "I love dogs." Any child who also loves pink or dogs must stand up and scramble to find another seat. The child who doesn't get a seat is then "it."

    How about a game of Family Feud to celebrate Valentine's Day? You'll need some construction paper and a few other supplies and then you're ready to create your game. It's also quick to get started playing since most are already familiar with the basic Family Fuel rules. There's a Christmas and Halloween version here as well if you really like the game.

    Cut hearts out of different colors of paper and scatter them around the room. Give the kids a specified amount of time to find the hearts and count how many of each color they can find. Make this more advanced for older kids by assigning a different number of points for different colors.

    This isn't your average musical chairs! This game uses hearts that have the person who steps on it complete an action. The kids get to practice reading, get some movement in, and just have a lot of plain fun. I love this game because you can make it for little kids, teens, and even adults depending on what you want to write on the hearts.
