As you probably know, Saint Valentine's Day (often known as simply as "Valentine's Day") is a holiday celebrated on February 14th. On this day, it is common for lovers to exchange cards, gifts or flowers, for proposals of marriage to be made, and people to give to charity, or give each other candy.
These days of course, children also want to get into the spirit of Saint Valentine's Day. Kids love to create Valentine's crafts, send each other Valentine's Day greeting cards, and play Valentine's games. Parents and teachers will therefore want to be on the lookout for activities and games that are suitable for February 14th.
One idea for a suitable activity is to play bingo. However, instead of using bingo cards containing numbers, cards containing words chosen specially for the occasion (such as "Admirer", "Chocolates", "Cupid", "Kiss", "Perfume" or "Sweet Heart") are used instead. The kids are each given their own bingo card, the teacher or parent acts as caller, and you're ready to play! The beauty of bingo, is that it's easy to learn and play, can be tied in with the theme of the day, and, most importantly, is a lot of fun!
Of course in order to play the game, the main obstacle that needs to be overcome is getting suitable bingo cards. In the past, this was often a problem as you had to send off for preprinted cards, and these weren't always cheap or easy to obtain. Today, however things are much easier - parents and teachers can simply print bingo cards from their computer: free Valentine's bingo printables are available on the Internet, or you can download affordable and easy-to-use software which makes it incredibly easy to print custom bingo cards.
