Party Games

"Pin the Heart on the Cupid" - This is a twist on the classic "Pin the Tail on the Donkey" game. Create a large poster of Cupid and cut out red paper hearts for the kids to stick on him using blindfolds.

"Musical Hearts" - Play music and have the kids dance around a room filled with red paper hearts scattered on the floor. When the music stops, the kids must find a heart to stand on. Remove one heart each time and continue until there is only one left. The last child standing is the winner.

"Heart Hunt" - Hide small red plastic hearts around the party space and have the kids search for them. The child with the most hearts at the end is the winner.

"Heart Toss" - Set up a small basket or box and have the kids take turns trying to toss red paper hearts into it from a distance.

"Musical Hearts Freeze" - Similar to "Musical Chairs," play music and have the kids dance around a room filled with red paper hearts scattered on the floor. When the music stops, the kids must freeze on a heart. Remove one heart each time and continue until there is only one left. The last child standing is the winner.

"Heart Limbo" - Set up a limbo stick and have the kids take turns trying to limbo under it to the beat of Valentine's Day-themed music. Make the game more challenging by lowering the stick after each round.
