Valentine Balloon Games

Create some themed Valentine's Day games with hearts cut out of construction
paper and a large stack of red and pink balloons!
Age: young
Heart target game:
Cut some large hearts out of red or pink construction paper and scatter them
around the room. Blow up balloons without knotting, and give them to your
children to "set off" into the air - seeing if they can land any on a heart
target. If you have more than one child playing, the winner is the child whose
balloon lands closest to a target! For older kids you could number the targets
and get them to keep score.
Heart basketball:
Cut a heart-shaped frame out of corrugated cardboard, paint it red or pink,
and either suspend it from a doorway or prop it up diagonally between a chair
and a wall - you might need to improvise! The children then try to bat their
balloons through the heart to score a point.
Valentine balloon pop:
Pour a small amount of Valentine confetti into your balloons before inflating
them and tying off. Give the children a pin and ask them to keep the balloons in
the air until your signal, at which point they can start trying to pop them! You
could also put a small piece of paper with a heart drawn on it into one or two
balloons - and whoever retrieves those wins a prize.
