Valentine's party game #5: What I Love about . . . 

In this Valentine's game, grab several heart papers (we got ours from the Dollar Tree) and write various words on the back like "Dad," "Mom," "art," "school," and "church." Draw a heart on a handful of the papers. Form the papers into a heart shape on the table. Take turns turning over one of the papers and sharing three things you like about the word on the back. If you turn over a paper with a heart drawn on it, you get a point! The first person to get three hearts wins.
