Valentine's Fun Freebies

I LOVE to play games so for Valentine's Day I decided to create a few of my favourite style of game - strategy games.

These cute games are ready for you to download now. You will love how easy they are to prepare and the kids will love challenging each other with these 2 player games.

The first Valentine's game is Valentine's Take a Heart.

You can play with the heart tokens that I have included or use counters if you prefer.

To play, cover each of the circles with a counter or heart and then take turns to remove one heart or 2 adjoining hearts. The last player to remove a heart is the winner.

As you can see this is a simple game to learn but it encourages kids to think strategically so that they force their opponent to make them remove the last heart.

The second game is Valentine's Hearts.

In this game, the players put a heart token or counter on each of the black circles. The players then take turns to move the hearts or counters to the box. On their turn a player can move a heart 1, 2 or 3 spaces towards the box. The last player to put a heart into the box is the winner.

Again this game is simple to learn and prepare but it will get kids thinking as they plan how to be the last player to move a heart to the box.

You can download these now from

Hope the kids have heaps of fun with these games!
