Are you hosting a Valentine's day party? Maybe a classroom party with your child's class? Then I have the ideas for you! Everything from crafts and games to stories and sweet treats! 

I used to teach Kindergarten, so I'm very familiar with how a classroom party can go. Kids are already high energy, so you're going to want to organize the party from the get go. Assuming you have about 1 hour of time, prep ahead of time the craft supplies, recipe ingredients, and books you'll want to read to the kids.

Come prepared!

Here are 10 Ideas for a Valentine's Day Class Party: 

1. Giant Heart Tic Tac Toe - Create a tic tac toe game board with a red poster and a few handmade heart bean bags. You could make a few of these so 4-6 kids could be playing all at the same time.

2. Heart Healthy Exercise - This is one of my favorites, I do it almost every year. The kids get into it and it will keep them going for a good 10 minutes. 

3. Heart Letter Match - this game could be played with any type of learning objective. 

4. Valentine's Coloring Pages - download and print off these free coloring pages. If you're done with a specific activity early, these are a great way to keep the kids focused at their station.

5. Heart-Shaped Pipe Cleaner Rings - a few twists to your pipe cleaners and you’ve got some quick bling. These would be perfect to add to Valentines.

6. Cupid's Bow and Arrows - craft up a set of your own bow and arrows to mark your love target!

7. Heart Shaped Cookies Creatures - Make a big batch of heart shaped sugar cookies and let the kids decorate them to look like fun heart shaped creatures.

8. Heart Cookie Sandwiches - these little cookie hearts were meant to beat as one! They are perfect and cute and pink with red sprinkles.

9. Valentine's Pop Up Cards - this is a great card for you or your little one to help make for Valentines, making heart's pop!

10. Storytime: You can do this in a small group setting as you rotate through children or as a whole class activity. Here are a few appropriate stories perfect for the classroom!

• Happy Valentine's Day, Mouse - from the creator of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Cute story!
• The Day it Rained Hearts - this story fits living in Seattle!
• The Night Before Valentines - follows the rhyme from the night before Christmas.
• Amelia Bedelia's Valentines - she is always doing silly things.
