Valentines Day Scavenger Hunt
You'll find 30 different Valentine theme items to find in this fun Scavenger hunt. 
Print out the free Valentines Day Scavenger Hunt list here. 
How to play:  Divide into two or more teams.  Give a copy of the list to both teams along with a plastic bag (to carry the items) and a pencil (to mark off items as they are collected).   Give each team a separate territory in the neighborhood to find items.  We give one team the odd number houses and the other team the even number houses.  Set a time limit - 1 to 2 hours.  The first team back within the time limit wins 5 extra bonus points.   Each item is worth 1 point.  If a team is late they are docked 5 points.  Sometimes it's fun to give harder to find items bonus points.  Only one item per house.  Make sure an adult is with each team at all times. 

Valentine Charades
We've listed lots of fun ideas to use for the Valentine Charade game. 
Print out the Valentine Charade list free here. 
How to play:  Before playing print out the free Valentine Charade game ideas and cut them into individual pieces.  Choose a neutral person to be the score keeper and to keep track of the time.  Place in a Valentine decorated bucket or bag.  Divide into two or more teams.  In turn each team will choose someone to stand in front of the groups and pick a Charade idea from the bucket/bag.  The person then has 1 minute to act out the item on their paper so that their team can guess.  If after 1 minute their team has not guessed the answer then the other teams can guess.  First team to answer correctly gets a point.  First team to 15 wins! 

Conversation Heart Charades
This Valentine Charade game is alot of fun for kids and adults. 
How to play: Instead of printing out the free Valentine Charade list above, all you need is a big bag of Conversation candy hearts.  Follow the directions above for "Valentine Charades" but instead of acting out Valentine related items teams will be acting out what is written on the conversation hearts.  Place the conversation hearts in a decorated bag or place them in a covered container.  One person from each team takes turns pulling out a conversation heart from the container and acting out the saying for their team to guess. 

Valentine Bingo
Print out free Valentine Bingo Cards here
How to play:  After printing out the free Valentine Bingo cards on pink or red stock paper use this list to fill in the boxes on the cards.   No two cards should be the same so mix up the words on every card.  After the cards are made cut the Valentine Bingo word list into individual pieces and place them in a decorated container.  Give everyone a Bingo card and some items to mark off their card.  Conversation hearts, red hots, or pennies work well.  Call out a Valentine word and if it is listed on their card they place a marker on top of the square.  Winner is the one who has 5 in a row horizontally, diagonally or vertically and calls out "HEART" first.  The middle square is "free".

How many kisses?
This is a fun icebreaker game or a good game to have at the start of the party when guests are still arriving.  Before the party fill a large glass container with chocolate kisses (or any type of valentine candy - conversation hearts, red hots, etc. ) counting the kisses as you place them in the jar.  Write down the number on a piece of paper and save for later.  Decorate the jar and place it on a table by the front door.  Cut up red or pink construction paper into hearts and place them on the table with several pens.   Decorate a bag or box to hold the pieces of paper.  When guests arrive ask them to guess how many kisses are in the jar and write their answer on one of the hearts.  Place the guess into the bag/container.  The winner is the one who's guess is closest to the number in the jar.  As a prize give the winner the jar of kisses. 

XoXo
Make a large tic tac toe board (4 feet x 4 feet) using butcher paper, or painting an old table cloth.  Make or buy several pink and red bean bags to use as markers.  Place a piece of tape on the ground about 4 feet from the board to mark where players will stand to throw the bean bags.   Players have 5 chances to throw their bean bags onto the board to make a tic tac toe - 3 bean bags in a row either diagonally, vertically or horizontally.   You can also write "x"'s and "o"'s on the bean bags and divide into teams to see who can make a tic tac toe. 

Reverse Musical Chairs
This game is fun to play with a large group.  It is played just like Musical Chairs except instead of a person being taken out after every round a chair is taken out of the circle.  Players must double up and sit on each others laps.  It gets harder every round trying to find seating for everyone.  Everyone wins!

Heart Toss
Cut 3 - 4 different size holes into a large box.  Decorate the box in Valentine's Day colors and give each hole a different point value.  Give guests heart shaped bean bags to toss into the box and keep score.  The winner receives a prize.
