Kindergarten valentine day party games

Originally from About. Directions: Have three or four children go up to the chalkboard at once. Blindfold each child, and hand each a piece of chalk. Ask each child to draw a heart on the chalkboard. Take more turns trying to draw other Valentine theme objects like a flower, a puppy, candy etc. Originally from BirthdayInABox. Directions: Children divide into two teams.

Put the hearts at the end of the room in two piles. On your mark the first child on each team runs to the pile, takes a heart and does what the heart says, while returning to their team, then sits down. The next team member then runs to the pile…etc. The first team to be sitting down wins. Originally from Kaboose. Directions: Make two equal teams. Have the members of each team line up, one behind the other.

Give the first player in each line a pair of mittens to put on. Give every player a piece of wrapped candy. Play continues until every player in line has successfully unwrapped and eaten their candy.

The first team to finish wins the game. Directions: Have the children partner up. Hand one partner the Silly Valentine Day Letter. Without reading the letter, have the first partner ask their partner to tell them a word to fill in the blank. Once the blanks are filled, have the kids read the letter aloud. Giggles are mandatory! Directions: Cut out small, tissue paper hearts. You will need at least one straw and one paper heart for each child.

Divide the class into even teams, preferably with 4 to 6 children on each one. Have each team line up one behind the other. Hand each player a straw. For each team, fill a plastic bag with tissue paper hearts 1 heart per player ; give a filled bag to the first player in each line. Give the last player in each line an empty bag. The heart can only be transferred from straw to straw by suction. Play continues until one team passes all of its hearts down the line, winning the game.

Directions: One person is selected as the leader who remains out of the game all players then get into a circle and each is given a piece of paper to write a silly thing to do without letting others see what they have written e. Bark like a dog, sing a song, dance silly.

Each player then folds their paper up so that the contents cannot be seen. On the leaders command players then start to pass the pieces of paper around the circle waiting for the command to stop.

When this happens two people are chosen to carry out the instructions on the pieces of paper they have, without laughing. Those who laugh are out. Repeat until only two people left. Originally from FunAndGames. Directions: Divide children into two teams. Hand out straws and cups to each member. Kinders have to blend sounds to read CVC words and try to get four in a row.
