This is a Valentine's day twist on a classic midway game.

Give each child 5 hearts to toss into the buckets.
Kids take turns throwing hearts into the baskets and add up their points.

Each team races to carry a “Cupid's arrow” (a pool noodle or stick decorated with hearts) to a cone and back.
The next player goes until everyone has had a turn.
Valentine's Day Bingo
Create Valentine-themed bingo cards using hearts, cupids, candy, and love-themed images.

When the music stops, the child holding the heart shares something kind or fun before leaving the circle or continuing the game.
