What are some good valentine’s day party games and ideas?`?
Its for the 6th grade so no little kid games. No crafts unless there really good. What are some good games for them?
I’ve tried to include a variety. These should be suitable for your age group. Some may seem like they are for younger children, but you can adapt it to make it fit your group.
Have a jar of candy heart or kisses and your guests try to guess how many is in the jar. Closest guess wins the jar of candy.
Candy heart pick up. In the center of the table place a large bowl of candy hearts. Guests are given chopsticks and see how many they can grab using chop sticks, Set a timer and do this as a tournament.
Hearts charades. Write things to act out on cut out hearts and place in box or basket. Person chooses one and must act it out. Could be movies or songs that have the word “love” in the title, could be famous couples (like Romeo and Juliette), or could be things that naturally go together (like peanut butter and jelly).
Hearts Bingo. Make up bingo cards and use candy hearts as markers. Put words or pictures on cards that have to do with Valentines : hearts, cupid, love, February, winter, candy, chocolate, flowers, kisses….

If you have access to a video camera, let people make up valentine raps/songs and perform. Have a judging team to choose the best. Could also have a dancing contest. Match people up by having them draw a name of one person of a famous couple. Whoever has the mate of that person is their partner.
Red Licorice race. Give each person a string of red licorice. They hold one end in their mouth and put hands behind back. On the word “go” see who can eat theirs the fastest.
Hide candy kisses around the room and have guests find them. (Seems like a kids game, but everyone loves chocolate candy. Could have one or two with a special surprise attached.)
Play “hearts” card game with a deck of playing cards.
If you are mature enough not to hurt others’ feelings, have a “love note” box. Guest write notes to other guests telling them what they like about that person, something nice about them, or something to encourage them. Before they go home everyone gets their notes.
