Valentine’s Day is a big deal in our house. With three kids under 10, every holiday becomes a reason to celebrate, craft, and most importantly—play games!
Last year, I was frantically googling last-minute ideas for Valentine’s fun after realizing the kids were expecting “something special.” Let me tell you, throwing together a festive afternoon of activities while trying to wrangle my toddler and keep the older two from sneaking candy was no easy feat!
But this year? I’m prepared. Whether you’re hosting a classroom party, planning a family game night, or just looking for a way to keep the kids entertained, these adorable Valentine’s Day games are all kid-approved and mom-tested.
Plus, I’ve sprinkled in some tips to make them easy, affordable, and extra sweet.

1. Valentine’s Bingo
Bingo is always a hit with kids! Grab a Valentine’s Bingo set or grab one with cute icons like hearts, flowers, and cupids. Pair it with some small prizes like heart-shaped erasers or mini candy bags to keep the excitement going.
2. Cupid’s Arrow Toss
Transform your living room into Cupid’s playground with this creative ring toss game. All you need are some inflatable hearts and a set of foam arrows. The goal? Land the arrows inside the hearts for points!
3. DIY Heart Hunt
Think Easter egg hunt but with Valentine’s vibes. Hide plastic hearts or paper cutouts around the house and let the kids search for them. Add a twist by including little notes or goodies inside.
4. Pin the Arrow on the Heart
A Valentine’s twist on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Print or draw a giant heart and give the kids some foam arrows to stick on while blindfolded.
5. Heart Stack Challenge
How many candy hearts can your kids stack in one minute? This quick and easy game is perfect for younger kids, and you can use conversation hearts to make it even sweeter.
6. Valentine’s Memory Match
Use a set of playing cards to create a fun memory match game. It’s simple to set up and great for sharpening those little minds.
7. Love Letter Relay
Divide the kids into teams and have them race to deliver “love letters” (colored envelopes or Valentine’s cards) to a box or basket at the other end of the room. Amp it up with a mailbox-shaped game prop!
8. Musical Hearts
Cut out paper hearts, write fun actions on them (like “hop like a bunny” or “spin around”), and lay them on the floor. Play music and have the kids stop on a heart—then do whatever action is written on it!
9. Cupid’s Candy Toss
Set up a row of jars or bowls and have the kids toss heart-shaped candies into them for points. You can even use chocolate kisses for a fun twist!
10. Valentine’s Pictionary
Grab a dry-erase board or some paper and play a love-themed version of Pictionary. Think: drawing hearts, cupids, roses, or even funny Valentine’s puns!
11. Heart Balloon Pop
Blow up red and pink balloons and write little dares or prizes on slips of paper to put inside. The kids pop the balloons to reveal their surprise. It’s loud, exciting, and full of laughter!
12. Sweetheart Spoon Race
Hand each child a spoon and a candy heart. The goal? Race to the finish line without dropping the heart!
13. Valentine’s Puzzle Race
Buy a few Valentine’s-themed puzzles or create your own by cutting up Valentine’s cards into pieces. Kids can race to see who finishes their puzzle first!
Final Thoughts
These games are not only a blast for kids but also a great way to sneak in a little bonding time amidst the chaos of a busy household.
Whether you’re using these ideas for a big party or a quiet afternoon at home, remember: the goal is to have fun and celebrate love in all its forms!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have three little ones asking when we can start the “heart balloon pop” game. Valentine’s Day magic awaits!
