Valentine’s Day Party Games

holidays· K-2 Resources· Valentine's Day

Valentine’s Day is in the horizon again, so it’s officially time to plan for the Valentine’s Day Party!!! πŸ™‚

Here are four simple games that are best done as stations with a parent to help at each station as students rotate around the classroom! With each game lasting around 5 minutes, it will take the kids 20 minutes total to complete! This means, the rest of the time can be devoted to passing out Valentine’s cards and enjoying treats!

Game 1: Tic-Tac-Toe

Pull out the confetti hearts and have your students play a simple game of Tic-Tac-Toe! They can play on a simple template like this or with lines drawn on whiteboards.

2. Spring into Love

Have your students make a simple spring by rolling a pipe cleaner around a pencil! Next, stick a Conversation Heart sticker to the top and then challenge them to see how many times they can spring their heart into the Valentine pail! Easy and will definitely ensure lots of laughter!

3. DIY Doily

Have you students help decorate their own table for the party by teaching them to create their own doily! Simply fold a white paper plate into sixths, cut small triangles along its edge, then draw black dashes along the lines and TAH-DAH!!!! A DOILY for their place mat!

4. Shooting Cupid’s Arrows

For this fun game, each student will glue three confetti heart onto three red craft sticks. Hot glue is the best adhesive for this activity. Therefore, having a parent to assist with this is the best! Once each student has his/her own arrows, they will take turns shooting their arrows into the middle of the heart garland while standing 3-4 feet away! Afterwards, students can take their arrows home and shoot their Cupid’s hearts away at their loved ones!!! πŸ™‚

Have fun planning!!!

Ha ~ Happy Days in First Grade
β€œWhen women and girls are empowered to participa β€œWhen women and girls are empowered to participate fully in society, everyone benefits.”- Melinda Gates

From my mom, sisters, female bosses, teachers, colleagues, and girlfriends, I have been so blessed to be surrounded by so many strong, creative, independent-thinking, intelligent, and empowered women. These women have lifted me up on their shoulders, given me shoulder to lean on, and stood shoulder to shoulder with me along the way. 

Happy Women’s History Month to all the amazing and empowered women and girls in my life! YOU, ladies, are the better half of what makes this world amazing! 🌸  #womenshistorymonth

The Governor took away the Mask Mandate, then the Dallas County Judge refuted it, and then the Texas Education Agency said it is up to the individual district to decide. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Is that clear as mud yet?!

So for now, our District is still under mask mandate and teachers are officially on the priority list effectively after school today.  Yes, it was announced after school today. 

I have been on the county waitlist since January and all the CVS locations around us are all booked up. 

Thank you, friends for checking on me and sharing your thoughts and feelings. This year has been hard and to deal with this mess in the middle of the week literally out of the blue, is just crazy to process!

So for now, I’ll keep waiting for my turn and keep you all updated. β™₯️

I am extremely disappointed and upset since teachers were taken off the list for priority vaccination and many of us still have not been able to schedule one yet, me included.
