2. Cold Hearts. Grab one of those heart ice trays at a dollar store. Moreover, this game works great on those cold winter days. Utilize red food coloring and make a lot of frozen red hearts. Next, put a plastic cup on a table for each child. After counting the hearts, go hide them. However, be cautious, as the ice could stain little hands or clothes when they melt. Proceed to hide the heart ice cubes. Subsequently, let the children go hunt them. Nonetheless, they can only bring back ONE heart at a time and put it in their cup. The game concludes when all the hearts are returned. Ultimately, the child with the most hearts wins!

4. XOXO-Hugs and Kisses. Each child gets an XOXO by their name. Mom or Dad need to be the caller and scorekeeper.  Let the children just play on the playset like they want.  When you Yell either X (they make an X with their bodies) or O (they make an O with their bodies.) If they make the wrong one or are unable to make it (hanging upside down) you mark off one of the Hugs(O) or Kisses(X) Child with the most X’s and O’s wins.  Another way to play is when each child starts with No X’s or O’s and when they get 2(or more) of each they get a prize (valentine pencil, eraser, or candy)
