Game concepts

  •  Cupid’s Arrow
    • Much like “Heads-Up, Seven-Up” pick 7 “cupids” – can provide some sort of costume
    • All other kids put their heads down. Then each cupid taps someone on the shoulder.
    • All kids tapped on the shoulder stand up and guess which cupid tapped them.
  •  Crosswords/Word Searches using key words like Cupid, Valentine, etc.
