Valentine Game For Kids – Pin The Heart On The Cupcake (FREE Printable)

Save it on Pinterest!

I’ve always loved celebrating Valentine’s Day since I was a kid in elementary school.  The fun colors and the excitement of the Valentine’s Day party at school.  Plus, who doesn’t love a holiday centered around candy?! 

I was inspired to make this cute free printable Pin The Heart On The Cupcake Valentine game for kids to liven up your Valentine’s Day party.

It takes a classic party game, Pin The Tail On The Donkey, and puts a Valentines spin on it.  It’s great fun for kids to play in the classroom or at a Valentine’s party!  You could also use it for a birthday party game.

I made this a large Pin The Heart On The Cupcake game so you can have it printed at a print shop in a poster size.  This printable is sized at 25.5″ x 33″.  You can also print on your regular printer at home in 8.5″ x 11″ with the same file. I don’t recommend printing any larger than 25.5″ x 33″ inches, or your game images may turn out grainy.

I also have the classic Pin The Tail On The Donkey , Pin The Shamrock On The Pot Of Gold, Pin The Tail On The Bunny, and Pin The Nose On Rudolph free printable games.

How To Print The Pin The Heart On The Cupcake Game Printables

1. The cupcake poster and hearts are separate files, so you can print just one cupcake and multiple pages of hearts to fit the number of party guests you have.
2. There are 12 hearts on one page in the PDF file.  If you need more, simply print more than one copy.
3. If you’d like this in a 25.5″ x 33″ poster, take the file on a USB drive to a print shop and they can print the larger size for you.  Places like Staples and Kinkos can do this for you as well as online printers like Vistaprint.
4. If you just want to print on your printer at home, download the file and print as you normally would.
5. I recommend printing on white cardstock for the best results.
6. Remember to print the hearts and the cupcake poster in the same size so the hearts fit on the cupcake.

What You’ll Need To Play This Printable Pin The Heart On The Cupcake

How To Play Pin The Heart On The Cupcake (Game Rules)

1. Cut out the heart templates.
2. Hang the Valentine cupcake poster on the wall at a height the kids can reach.  This game is suitable for all age groups of kids.
3. Use double-sided tape or rolled-up Scotch tape on the back of each heart so they can stick to the cupcake.
4. Have the kids line up.
5. The first player puts on the blindfold and holds their heart with sticky tape on the back. (Don’t peek!)
6. Someone spins the player around a few times to get them good and dizzy, and then stops them in the direction pointing toward the cupcake poster.
7. The player then tries to place the heart in the spot where the white dot outlined heart is on the cupcake poster.
8. Their turn is over, and the next player gets blindfolded and spun to take a shot at getting the heart on the cupcake.
9. Each child takes a turn until everyone has had a chance.
10. The child who gets the closest to lining up their pink heart with the white dotted heart on the poster is the winner!
