We were looking for a game to play during the 1st grade Valentine’s Day party at school and decided on a version of Valentine’s Day Bingo. I printed out blank grids (created them in Photoshop but they can easily be made in Excel or other programs, too) then went old-school and finished them by hand since that seemed a bit more fun for the little kids. Our daughter helped come up with the ideas for each square.
The numbers on the bingo card were the answers to simple math problems (2+2, 5+5, etc.) and it was fun hearing the kids shout out the answers when the math problems were called out during our game. We used heart-shaped candies as the bingo “pieces.”
I picked up a couple of puzzles and some coloring books from the store and those served as our prizes. This was a great addition to our school festivities! We collected the cards afterwards and are using these at home and at next year’s classroom party. 🙂
