Whether you’re planning Valentine’s Day games at home or organizing party games for a group, this is an easy, low-prep option using our free template.
How to Play the Rolling Hearts Valentine’s Game
The object of the game is simple: be the first player to cover all the hearts inside the large heart shape.
Each player needs:
- A printed game sheet
- A small pile of candy hearts, chocolate gummies, mini heart erasers, pink pom-poms, or little heart stickers
- One six-sided die
To play:
Each child rolls the die. The numbers on the die match the different colored hearts shown on the key. When they roll a number, they place one candy hearts piece (or other marker) on any matching color heart on the board.
For example, if they roll the number that matches the green heart, they cover a green heart. If they roll a purple heart number, they cover one purple heart.
Players take turns rolling and covering hearts. The first team or individual to cover their entire outline of the heart wins a small prize or a valentine’s day-themed prize.
It’s that simple, but it’s surprisingly exciting. Watching that bunch of hearts slowly fill up is half the fun.
Kids Love This Valentine’s Game
This isn’t just a fun valentine’s day game. It’s also a sneaky learning activity.
Rolling and placing markers supports fine motor skills and works as a sorting activity as children match colors. For tots working on number recognition skill, the six-sided die makes this perfect for tot’s number recognition skill practice in a playful way.
Younger children can get help from an older sibling or a crafty kiddo friend. You can easily adapt it to your child’s age by changing the number of points needed to win or by turning it into a team challenge with a first group of kids racing to fill their board.
It’s also brilliant for social skills, encouraging turn-taking, cheering each other on, and friendly competition without anyone ending up with a broken heart.
