Room parents unite! After nine years of room parenting in the elementary school, the parties get easier every year. In our public school, the room parent is responsible for two parties, Halloween and Valentine’s. Here is my favorite Valentine’s Day party activity – a hit every time – which I have used from grade 2 through 5. Combined with decorating a cookie, some silly valentine poems and exchanged valentine cards to open, this easily fills our 45 minute party.
Brachs’ Conversation Hearts games:
You need:
- Brachs’ small conversation hearts (small handful per child)
- game card (below)
- small prizes
GAME 1. Bingo: Match the conversation hearts you were given to the bingo board. Can you get a bingo across, down or diagonally? (The best part about this game is you don’t have to call out numbers.)
GAME 2. Heart tower: timed at 30 seconds or one minute, students race to see who can build the tallest stack of conversation hearts. These are uneven little candies and a stack of 10 is quite a challenge. Stacks are counted when timer goes off. Tallest stack wins a prize. (Game is fairly quiet, but the kids say they love it.)
YUM! 3. Eat the conversation hearts.
Here is a bingo card made for the 2009 mix of Brach’s small conversation hearts. (Other brands use different phrases.) The phrases have to be updated each year.
