Easy Valentine’s Day Games for Families and Groups

valentine's day games

Themed family fun nights are SO much fun! These Valentine’s Day games are such a fun way to use the classic conversation hearts!

I love themed family fun nights. For me, it’s the easiest way to take less than $5 and have an absolute blast. The kids think even the most basic of activities are so much more fun if you add a little “theme” to it. So last Friday night, we played these Valentine’s Day games, which made for a super family fun night!

Valentine’s Day Games

Conversation Hearts Stack Game —>

Materials: conversation hearts, heart stack printable (pictured below), pencil, timer

valentine's day printables

How to play: Players get one minute to see how many Valentine’s Day hearts they can stack up in this game. It’s OK to make multiple stacks. The highest stack wins. The printable has a place to record your score for each round.

Valentine’s Day Straw Transfer Game —>

Materials: conversation hearts, timer, straws, plates, heart doilies (You could cut heart shapes out of paper or use fun napkins, too.)

How to play: Players get one minute to see how many hearts they can transfer onto the plate by sucking through the straw. At the end of one minute, the player with the most hearts on her plate wins.

Valentine’s Day Vase Drop Game —>

Materials: conversation hearts, a vase (the smaller the neck, the more challenging the game), timer

How to Play: For this simple game, drop the Valentine’s Day hearts into the vase. You can set a timer and the person with the most hearts at the end of that time wins. Or you could give each player a small bowl of hearts and let them drop them all. The person with the most in the vase wins. We don’t allow players to bend over during the game. They must stand straight. Also, hearts are dropped from their nose level.

The Great Candy Race —>

Materials: a bowl of conversation hearts, spoons, timer, a small bowl for each player

How to play: Players each get a spoon and 5 minutes to see how many hearts they can transfer into their bowl. I set up the main bowl across the room from the small bowls. Players can NOT use their hands at all in this game. The spoon goes in their mouth, and they may carry as many hearts as they want on the spoon. For this game, the player who gets the most conversation hearts in their small bowl at the end of 5 minutes wins. My children chose to crawl across the room. I didn’t make them, but I think it was easier.

    What great ideas! They are easy for children of all ages, and good competitive fun. They are games that the kids may even be able to do better than their parents which they’ll love. LOL

Here’s What Others Are Saying about Not Consumed

Positive Impact in My Life

I've been following your blog for a couple years and I have enjoyed participating in your free bible studies/devotions as well as those I've purchased from you. I just wanted to let you know that you've made such a positive impact in my spiritual and home school life, as well as support and encouragement for motherhood. Thank you for being such a blessing to so many moms.

Life-giving Words

What an encouragement your words have been to me! The practical tips and realistic systems that you share are so super helpful, but what I have appreciated the most has been your genuine heart for the Lord and for the things of the Lord. What I sense through your words is a heart submitted to the Lord, clinging to Him instead of to bitterness. Walking a path that you never signed up for, painfully aware of your brokenness and inadequacies, but keeping your eyes focused on the only Giver of Life. You have a testimony of victory, of overcoming, Kim. Your life-giving words boast of the faithfulness of a God who hears and sees and knows and provides and comforts. A God who doesn't change.

Fabulous, heart-felt resources for parents!

Thank you, Kim, for continuing to offer such fabulous and heart-felt resources to us parents! I was not raised in a Christian home and feel like I’m floundering in the dark trying to raise my children to know and love the Lord. Your emails and bible studies are my lifeline! You should write a parenting manual!

May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly!

Lasting Impression on My Entire Family

I wanted to write to encourage you and say, "THANK YOU!" I've been following your blog for years, and you have made such a lasting impression on my entire family. We've purchased many of your Bible Studies and a few other wonderful homeschooling resources, all of which we absolutely love!!! Still, I believe the greatest compliment I can give you is that because of your Bible Studies that my children and I have completed together, my oldest daughter has been so inspired, she's started creating her own daily devotionals, modeled after the ones you've made. They are absolutely precious (in her own little 12-year old way), and she prints one off each morning for our entire family to complete during our quiet time. When she finishes her first "study" (which is on the Fruits of the Spirit by the way), she plans to print a set to hand out to her small group at church. To see my daughter take ownership of her faith in this way and to bless others with a deeper study of God's Word is a precious gift to me, and I can't thank you enough for your inspiration and positive influence!

Love everything you do!

As far as the other things, I LOVE my brothers keeper and we've done it twice over the past year or two. I recommend it all the time on so many groups online. I type notconsumed.com almost daily somewhere on something. At times I will come across another resource you have created and it's like you are in my head. So much of what you create is exactly what I want but am not techy enough to do! I had googled a checklist for homeschooling recently and yours popped up. It was exactly the simple thing I wanted. I told my husband that you "get me" when I found it. :) I ended up buying it then hearing about the course and did that too. Even as a veteran homeschool mom I learned a few things from your course. I really love how you foster independence in your kids in stages. Again, exactly what I want to do!

Like Being With a Girlfriend

Thanks for sharing a piece of your family. Your blog is, honestly, the only one I have ever subscribed to. I feel like I'm on the phone with a girlfriend every time I read your words. I love it! I often find myself spending hours clicking from one post to the next telling myself, "okay, one more and then go to bed!" It's all just so helpful!

You're in my head, sister!

I just wanted you to know that I LOVE your blog. I can’t tell you how much the homeschooling posts have meant to me. It’s like you’re in my head, sister!! Thank you so much for taking the time in your busy life to minister to struggling moms and making me feel as if I’m not alone.

Bible Studies are Incredible!

I just ordered and am in the process of printing out so many of your amazing resources and I can't wait to get started! Your bible studies are incredible and so thoughtful, your planner is wonderfully laid out and your breakfast and lunch stations will save me so much time!! I don't know how you do it all, but I'm thankful you do!

My daughter loves it all!

I just want to write and let you know that my 13-year-old daughter loves, love, loves everything I have ever ordered from you and says that she wants your entire inventory of bible studies for her next birthday!

Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives!

Monthly Scripture Pages

Thank you for creating the monthly Scripture pages... especially the KJV one! It's the only Bible I use and hardly any bloggers use it on their stuff. I also really appreciate the products that you provide. I really appreciate the insights, laughter, and thoughtfulness put into your blog, emails, Facebook posts, etc.

Brings courage to my heart!

I want to thank you for your transparency and dedication to blessing families with resources. Thank you for the life giving words that I read over and over. I cling to the hope I see in your story. Not only did you help me work through things that had happened, you prepared me for a situation that could have consumed me. God used your encouragement to strengthen me. I was so beaten down, discouraged, and tired from the long and difficult path I had been walking. It was a refreshing rain in the middle of a weary road, and it made me hope for a future that is victorious.
