Love is a tender and painful feeling. It gives us wings and we are able to accomplish the impossible. Love for children is as necessary as air. Well, where are we without them? Well, who are we without them? Just angry adults in an angry adult world with angry adult problems. And children are like a rainbow, they paint the world with colorful paints and the soul begins to sing and the heart trembles joyfully. My friends, we can talk endlessly about love and children!

In the meantime, I offer you a couple of ideas on how you can have fun on Valentine’s Day (and not only) by playing with the kids and organizing entertaining and fun competitions.

Games and competitions for children for Valentine's Day

Game “Where is the heart hidden?”

This game is suitable for a small group of children, or for two or even one child. To play the game you need to cut out several hearts of any colors and sizes. Before the game starts, you need to hide it around the house or room. Task for children: collect all the hearts. Depending on the age of the children, you can complicate the task by completing it against time, to a cheerful melody, and the maximum number of hearts found. In any case, a couple of funny minutes and smiling eyes are guaranteed!

Game "Happy Heart"

For this competition you need large hearts (according to the number of teams or players) and many colorful small valentines (by the way, those found in the first competition will do) or colored pencils. Assignment for participants: decorate a big heart with little valentines, making it happy! You can “make” him smile, laugh, dance. Well, how your imagination runs wild!

Game "I Like It About You"

For kids, take your favorite toy, it’s perfect, and passing it on to each other, you need to give it compliments. For older children, sit in a circle and compliment your neighbor. At home, you can arrange this game, like morning exercises, every day, saying pleasant words to each other. Helps improve the climate and weather at home.

Game “A little about self-love”

This competition-game also promotes self-confidence. However, if there are very shy children in the company, it is better not to force them to perform this task. Assignment: looking at yourself in the mirror, say a few gentle and kind words to yourself. As an option, invite the child to tell about himself, supposedly from the words of his mother. Starting, for example, with the phrase: “Mom thinks that I’m the best...”, the main thing is to say only good things.

Rainy weather game

This is a relay competition for a group of children. For the competition you need two umbrellas and two pairs of shoes a couple of sizes larger than those for children (galoshes can be used).

We mark the start line (you can put a long belt, or put a couple of books) and the finish line (chairs where the umbrellas are). Along the length between the start and finish we place puddles that need to be cut out in advance. The participants’ task is to quickly run to the umbrella, take it and return to the start, without getting their feet wet or losing their shoes.

Game "Broken Heart"

This is a regular puzzle game. We cut the big heart into small pieces in advance, and the participants must assemble the whole picture. For older children, you can “hide” in your heart - a beautiful saying or. For example, like here:

Let's talk about love

Let love and understanding reign in your families!

With love,

Lyudmila Potsepun.

The player's task is to guess whose shadow it is when players begin to pass between him and the lamp. Participants must try to prevent the seated player from recognizing them - they can change their gait, make different gestures, manipulate accessories, etc. The one the player guessed replaces him on the chair, and the one who guessed takes a heart for his team.

Girls guess guys, and guys guess girls. If the sitting player does not recognize anyone from the opposing team, then he does not get the heart, and the chair is occupied by a player from the other team. The team that collects the most hearts wins.

Valentine's Day, this romantic, beautiful holiday, is celebrated all over the world. And our country is no exception. In schools, institutes, in adult groups, everywhere this holiday is very loved and popular. And what kind of holiday would it be if there were no competitions, if there were no sounds, no fortune-telling about love or a betrothed?

We offer original competitions for Valentine's Day, intended for both young lovers and lonely hearts who dream of finding their soul mate, and for everyone who wants to have a high mood.

Contests for Valentine's Day You need to organize in advance, so good luck!

Competition 1 – Find yourself a partner
For the competition you need a lot of paper hearts, plus some that differ from the others in terms of the number of participants. Each of the participants is given one of the unique hearts, not similar to the others, while the second one is mixed with the others on the table. Team members must try to find their matching heart from the common pile of hearts. The first one to find it wins!
Competition 2 – Heart into pieces
For the competition you will need several valentines in the shape of large hearts. Each of these valentines should be cut into approximately 15-20 pieces. On command, all participants must begin to put together all the pieces of the valentine so that they again form a heart. The fastest one will win.
Competition 3 – I love you
This is a competition-game in which pairs participate. Each of them takes turns declaring their love to each other, but they cannot speak, only gestures, facial expressions and movements must be used.

The couple that manages to make it funnier will win.

Competition 4 – Declaration of love
All participants in the competition need to come up with a declaration of love using a few affectionate words. The essence of the competition is to ensure that these words are not repeated. For example, if the first sentence already contains the word “beloved,” then the subsequent ones should not contain it. The winner will be the one who comes up with the most beautiful declaration of love with the greatest number of affectionate and tender words.
Competition 5 – Straw
This is one of my favorite competitions. All participants sit in a circle. The first of them squeezes a straw or pasta with his lips, and then passes it to his neighbor. The latter also takes it with his lips, and the participants at the table must alternate: man - woman, etc. Over time, the straw shrinks and softens, making it increasingly difficult for participants to pass or take.
Competition 6 – Melody about love
The presenter plays the music of famous romantic songs, but only music, without words, and the participants must try to guess the name of the song and who sings it, and also dance beautifully to this romantic melody.

Competition 7 – Light is my mirror - tell me
Only girls participate in the competition, each of whom is given a mirror. All of them, in turn, looking in the mirror, should say beautiful compliments about themselves. You can't laugh and think for a long time. Whoever says the most compliments about himself without delay will win.

An interesting entertainment program will make a student Valentine's Day party a bright and unforgettable event of the year. Competitions on February 14, various quizzes and dynamic games will be remembered by students for a long time. Paired tests will bring fellow students closer together and give the guys confidence. Romantic competitions will not let students get bored and stand on the sidelines.

Up to 4 couples participate in the competition. Guys wear large warm mittens, and girls wear a warm robe or a large button-up shirt (without buttoning them). The guys' task is to save their beloved from the cold and fasten all the buttons on her clothes with mittens.

The pair that completes the task faster than the rest wins. She receives the title of "Most Caring".

Game "Hat of Love"

The game involves 6 guys and 6 girls, more is possible. They are divided equally into 2 teams and stand in 2 ranks in the sequence “boy, girl”. Each group is given a hat.

The task of each team is to pass the headdress in turn from the first player to the last. In this case, the hat should not be touched with your hands. It must be on your head throughout the game. If someone touches it with their hands or it falls to the floor, the hat returns to the first player.

The team that completes the task faster wins.

Several couples participate in the competition. The main thing is that the boys are not bald.

Girls are given a set of small rubber bands. The guys sit on chairs. The girls' task is to create as many small ponytails as possible on their partner's head using rubber bands within a certain time.

The couple with the most “tufts” on the guy’s head wins.

4 couples participate in the competition. It is better if the participants meet or know each other well. The girls are seated on chairs in a row and shown to the guys. After this, the boys are taken to another room and blindfolded. At this moment, the young ladies change places; you can replace the girl with a guy. Then they take the boys into the room.

The guys' task is to recognize their partner by their bare leg. To completely confuse the participants, you can put a woman's stocking on the fake boy. The couple in which the guy finds the leg he loves wins.

3-4 couples participate in the competition. The presenter invites the participants to sew each other to themselves. To do this, he gives them each a spoon to which a thread is tied. The length of the thread must be more than 1.5 meters. Using a spoon, they sew each other, passing the thread through the clothes. For example, first through the guy’s sleeves, then through the girl’s sleeves. As a result, the pairs must be “sewn”.

After this, the guys are given a piece of paper with a heart drawn on it, and the girls are given scissors. While tied, the partners must cut out this heart. Moreover, the girl must cut, and the guy needs to hold a sheet of paper and set the direction in which to cut.

The pair that completes the task faster than the rest wins.

A minimum of 4 couples participate in the competition. Each participant is given forks with a thread attached to them. They tie them to the belt or wrap them around the waist so that the fork hangs at the back at knee level (not lower), like a “tail.”

After this, the couples turn their backs to each other and begin to move their waists and body parts, trying to catch their partner’s fork with their fork. Do not guide the fork by hand. You can push each other with your pelvis. Tailed participants must be careful while playing so as not to get hurt.
