Valentine’s Day Class Party

It can be hard to find activities for school holiday parties. No one wants to purchase 4 or 5 store bought board games so that small groups of kids can play. That would get expensive fast.

This printable Valentine game is the perfect answer. Print off multiple game boards and then small groups of kids can all play at the same time.

School Valentine’s Day parties are such a fun way to celebrate this special holiday. Sometimes teachers might ask the classroom parents to help out with the party. 

It would be a nice treat for the teacher if he/she could have the party planning taken off his/her plate and let the parents take charge of it instead.

If you are helping organize a classroom Valentine’s Day party here are some tips and ideas to make it a success:

Gather Information

Find out from the teacher:

• The day (in case Valentine’s Day isn’t on a school day) and time (start and ending time) of the party
• The number of kids in the class
• Any other needed information (if any children have food allergies)
• If there’s anything specific the teacher wants included at the party and if there’s anything that can’t be included at the party (like homemade treats)
• The rules for handing out Valentines (if each student should make a Valentine for every student in the class), unless the teacher is handling this part
• If the teacher wants food/activities arranged in stations for students to participate in as groups or if they want whole class activities

Ask the teacher to share your contact information with the other class parents so you can have some help with the party.

Fun Themed Food

Provide a good variety of snacks and treats for the kids — make sure to have some healthy snacks so that not everything is a sugary dessert. 

Here are some ideas:

• Decorate heart cookies purchased from your local grocery store. Provide frosting in piping bags or in tubs with plastic knives, Valentine sprinkles, and disposable tablecloths and plates to cover the table for easy clean up.
• Mini cupcakes
• Donut holes
• Valentine bark
• Cut heart shapes from seasonal fruit
• Use a small heart cutter for cheese slices and serve them with crackers
• Cuties
• Popcorn mixed with pink & red M&Ms and white chocolate drizzle.

Games and Activities

Be ready with extra activities because sometimes things don’t take as long as you think and unstructured time can lead to chaos especially on a holiday.

Here are some ideas:

• This printable Valentine game (see below to download it)
• Eye Spy
• Valentine slime
• Candy Heart Stack Challenge — See how many conversation hearts kids can stack in one minute before they topple
• Provide different materials (like tissue paper, construction paper) for kids to cut out and glue in a heart shape on cardstock or use tissue paper and clear contact paper to create colorful heart-shaped suncatchers.
• Provide blank cards, stickers, markers, and stamps so kids can create Valentine’s for their friends or family.
• Set up a ring toss using heart-shaped hoops to land in buckets.
• Pin the arrow on the heart game (like pin the tail on the donkey)

How to Assemble and Play the Printable Valentine Game

This is a simple and easy game to play — the kids just have to roll the dice and move their piece on the board. Easy games are just as fun and you don’t have to spend a lot of time trying to explain the directions to impatient kids who are excited for the holiday.

Step 1: Print the Game

The first step to playing this game is to print off the game board and the dice (print as many as you need). I like to print mine off on white cardstock so that it is sturdy and we can reuse them over and over again.

If you want to keep these game boards so you can use them every year then you will want to laminate them.

Step 2: Put the Dice Together

Cut the dice out by cutting along the solid lines. Fold along the dotted lines and put it all together to make a cube. Use a little bit of tape to secure the final side.

Step 3: Game Pieces

Each player will need a game piece. You can get creative or use whatever is handy.

The important thing is that each person’s game piece is unique from the other game pieces so they’ll know which one is their piece. A few ideas of things you can use around the house or the classroom: 

• buttons
• coins
• small toys
• Valentine’s Day erasers
• bingo chips
• counting cubes

Step 4: Play

The game is played by each player taking a turn rolling the dice. Follow the directions listed on the side of the dice they roll:

• Move forward 1 space
• Move backward 1 space
• Move forward 2 spaces
• Move backward 2 spaces
• Move forward 3 spaces
• Trade places with someone

The player to reach the end of the game board first wins. You can give the winner some cute Valentine’s Day prizes or give them a special privilege in the classroom (like line leader, choose a book for the teacher to read, etc.) .

Equipment Needed / Helpful Tools for Printables

Printer: This one is a great budget printer. If you’re willing to spend just a little more though, this is a better option. And if you’re looking for an all-in-one home office machine, this one does it all, has high reviews and includes 2 years of ink.

Ink cartridges: Speaking of ink, this is where the cost of using printables can really add up! To save BIG on ink, buy it from CompAndSave.com. It’s substantially cheaper than anywhere else and they carry ink for all major printer brands and models.

Printer paper or cardstock: If you’re printing for one-time, quick use, print on regular printer paper. If you need the printout to hold up to being handled often or if you plan to laminate it to use it multiple times, choose cardstock.

Laminator: Laminating your printable is an inexpensive way to use it multiple times. Just use dry erase markers and wipe off when you’re done so you can use it again!  Alternately, you can cover the printable with clear contact paper to achieve the same thing or place the printable in clear page protectors.

Binder or Folder: If you’re using page protectors for your printables, binders are such an easy way to keep them together and organized. I love this colorful set. If you prefer to stick with standard white though, this set is highly rated and very affordable. And if you need larger binders, this set is terrific. If you go with folders, I like these.

Storage boxes: I like to keep a collection of coloring pages and activity sheets for kids in these plastic storage boxes that I pull out whenever I need to keep kids occupied.

Adhesive and glue: To assemble or display your printable, you have a few options. You can use glue sticks, double-sided tape, or adhesive dots.
