This is a fun clasroom Valentine’s Day party game, Valentine’s activity to do at home or even a Valentine’s day gift for kids. It would be so cute to make a little gift basket with all the supplies for the game along with printouts. This Valentine’s game was a hit with my kids and they give it two thumbs up! Bonus for them: they have candy to eat at the end!
Supplies you’ll need for this Valentine’s Day Activity:
- Printouts of the worksheet (free printable download at the end of this post)
- Valentines M&M’s in red pink and white (16 m&m’s per child)
- Heart shaped Marshmallows -or if you can’t find heart- shaped just buy some mini marshmallows (bonus if they’re pink)
- Toothpicks
- Conversation Hearts
- Hershey Kisses
- Bags, baskets or buckets to hold supplies listed to go with each sheet
- Straws – I used reusable plastic valentines straws. Paper straws may not work. I found mine at TJ Maxx but here are some similar Valentines straws from Amazon:
Instructions for the Valentine’s Day Activity
Each child can set up the sheets as pictured (my kids enjoyed that part too.)
Then go over these directions:
As fast as you can when I say go,
- Connect the marshmallows or marshmallow hearts with toothpicks any way you want
- Using the straw, suck from one end to pick up the m&m’s with the other end and sort by color moving them to the appropriate hearts below
- Using the straw. blow the conversation hearts out of the circle
- Using only one hand, unwrap the Hershey Kiss
Race to be the first one done! Ready, set, go!
Note: If you bring extra Hershey Kisses, the activity can be repeated for another round or rounds.
I got the inspiration for this activity from stacyjulian.com. She used a piece of licorice for the candy blowing activity which is even more fun, I’m just not sure it would work to pick up the m&m’s. Let us know in the comments if you try that. Happy Valentines Day! I hope your kids/students/classroom enjoy this as much as mine did!
