Valentine Races
[20 Minutes]
This family game is sure to have everyone smiling and laughing as you chase little hearts across the floor. And what better prize than a hug at the finish line!
You'll need:
construction paper scissors masking tape
What to do:
- Prior to playing, cut several hearts, approximately 3 inches across, from construction paper. Fold each in half to form a crease.
- Place a masking tape finish line at one end of the floor and place the hearts on the floor at the other end.
- Invite everyone to line up behind the hearts on all fours. Then blow the hearts across the finish line.
- The first person to cross the finish line starts the hugging. As each person crosses the finish line, he is hugged by the rest of the people already across.
