Wildly Entertaining Candy Heart Games to Play

For all of the games below, you’ll need a bag of Conversation candy hearts. Otherwise, each game has its own supplies, but they are all simple and easy to play.

1. Festive Candy Dice Game

This Candy Heart Dice Game for Valentine’s Day is a fast-paced, laughter-filled activity the whole family will love. With just a bowl of candy hearts (or whatever items you want!), a die, and a simple printable, you’ve got an instant game night hit that’s as adorable as it is fun.

2. Let’s Face It

This is a hilarious game where each player places a conversation heart on their forehead. The objective is to move the heart to their mouth using only facial muscles. It’s a race against time and gravity!

3. A Spoonful of Love Relay

Putting a spoon in their mouth, players have one minute to…

1. Place candy hearts on their spoon
2. Walk to a designated spot and back
3. Drop the hearts in a bowl
4. Repeat steps 1-3

When the timer goes off, the player with the most hearts in their bowl wins.

4. Roll a Heart Dice Game

This free Roll a Heart Dice Game is the sweetest way to add fun, color, and giggles to your Valentine’s Day celebration. And it takes almost zero prep.

Players roll a die and decorate their heart card with candy conversation hearts or crayons. The first player to complete their heart wins!

5. Heart Stack Attack

Players have one minute to stack as many conversation hearts as they can into a single tower. Only the standing hearts at the end of the minute count. So if their tower falls, they have to try to rebuild quickly.

Make It harder for teens and adults: Players must stack the hearts into three separate towers of at least six hearts each within one minute.

6. Heart Drop

Players stand on a chair and drop conversation hearts into a jar or bowl on the floor. The person who successfully lands the most hearts in the jar within a minute wins.

To make it easier or harder: Modify the size of the bowl or jar depending on the age. For example, I gave my husband a tiny bowl to make it fair!

7. Valentine’s Day Bingo

Love is in the air. And so is a little friendly competition!

This free Valentine’s Day Bingo game is sweet, silly, and simple fun. Whether you’re playing with kids or the whole family, it’s an easy way to spark laughs and connection. We love using conversation heart candies as markers!

8. Heartbreaker Punch Game

In this addictive Heartbreaker Punch Game, players take turns “punching” through tissue paper-covered cups to reveal prizes. It’s simple to set up, hilarious to play, and guaranteed to get everyone in on the fun.

This game can be used as a standalone party game or as a prize for other games.

9. Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt

Valentine’s Day is perfect for a fun scavenger hunt with a sweet surprise! Use the printable clues for easy setup, and hide the candy hearts as the prize at the end.

10. Don’t Blow It

For this fun challenge, players have one minute to transfer as many candy hearts from a table to a cup or bowl. The catch? They have to use the straw to move them.

Make it easier: If young kids find this hard, use a spoon or hands.

11. Left-Right Valentine’s Story Game

Grab this free printable Valentine’s Day Left Right story game for a fun, festive way to celebrate love!

This interactive game keeps everyone laughing as players pass the conversation hearts every time they hear the word “left” or “right.”

12. Candy Hearts Guessing Game

For this simple game, participants guess how many candy hearts are in a jar. The closest guess wins a prize!

13. Candy Heart Chopsticks

For this challenge, players must use chopsticks to pick up conversation hearts and place them into a bowl. The player with the most hearts in their bowl after one minute wins.

14. Candy Heart Hunt

First, each player receives a plate with 5-10 candy hearts buried in whipped cream, and another plate to put the candy hearts after they dig them out. The goal is to dig out the hearts the fastest without using hands (in one minute).

Run out of candy hearts? You can use any small type of candy or dried fruit (we used dried cranberries at Thanksgiving) for this game!

15. Heart Charades

Players act out the phrase on their candy hearts without talking. The first person to guess correctly keeps the heart. Or add from this Valentine’s Day charades game for more options.

16. War of Hearts

This fun game is played like the card game War. This is an activity that would be great to add to your math practice or even use as a “special” Valentine Day game. Of course, you can always play this one past Valentine’s too.

17. “The floor is lava!” Game: Heart Rescue Edition

Just like in the basic game, players may NOT touch the bare floor. Instead, they use furniture, pillows, placemats, or other “stepping stones” to travel safely around the room. This is a fun game on its own, but you can theme it for Valentine’s Day by adding a “rescue” element to the game. Put conversation candy hearts in various places, and tell the kids that they need to “rescue” the hearts before the lava destroys them.

You can even add storytelling about how the candies are magical gemstones that hold great powers.

18. Tic tac toe

You can whip up this game in less than a minute! Draw a simple tic-tac-toe board and use two different colors of conversation hearts as the markers. Can you get three in a row?

19. Cup Shuffle Showdown

For this 4th of July Minute to win it game, I used a ping pong ball. But you could easily find some small Valentine’s Day cups and use a candy heart instead of a ball.

1. Players line up their 3 cups upside down in a row. They put the candy under the middle cup.
2. Next, one player must mix up the cups at least four times.
3. The second player guesses which cup the candy is under. Continue for one minute.
4. The team that guesses the most correctly after 60 seconds wins!

20. Cupid’s Guess Who

This game is perfect if all you have is a handful of candies. One player secretly chooses a heart phrase. Then, others ask yes-no questions to guess which phrase it is.
