As usual, our friends at notjustbingo.com<\/a>\u00a0have shared with us some fantastic ideas that you will love!<\/p>\n

Once you’re done choosing from the activities below, head to some of our Valentine’s Day Craft Ideas here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Candy Bingo<\/strong>. Play a fun round of Valentine bingo<\/a><\/strong> using candy like Hershey\u2019s Kisses<\/strong><\/a> or sweethearts as the bingo markers. Give out Valentine candy for prizes.\"valentine's<\/p>\n

2. Newlywed Game.<\/strong> If your facility is a nursing facility, consider recruiting your married\u00a0couples to play a fun Newlywed game for entertainment. Ask questions of each of the spouses separately, like \u201cWhen did you last give your wife flowers?\u201d or \u201cWhat was the menu of the first meal that your wife cooked for you?\u201d (Be sure to search online for \u201cNewlywed Game Questions\u201d for more ideas.)<\/p>\n

3. Name That Love Song.<\/strong> Play music from popular love songs for residents to guess the titles. Here is a Love and Laughter CD<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Valentine Charades.<\/strong> Invite participants to act out the titles of romantic songs, like \u201cThe Way You Look Tonight,\u201d \u201cMy Funny Valentine,\u201d or \u201cWind Beneath My Wings.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. Match Game.<\/strong> Place the name of one member of a popular duo or couple on the back of each participant for them to guess who they are and to find their match. Tell participants that they can only ask \u201cyes\u201d or \u201cno\u201d questions to find out who they are. For a nursing facility, use classic Old Hollywood couples like Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Ava Gardner and Frank Sinatra, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, and Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.<\/p>\n

6. Valentine Pictionary.<\/strong> Encourage participants to draw words or phrases related to Valentine\u2019s Day for their team members to guess, like candlelight dinner, love birds, or love letter.<\/p>\n

7. Valentine\u2019s Word Games.<\/strong> Search online for printable word games for your participants to work, like a Valentine\u2019s Mad Lib for residents to fill in words before reading the Valentine story or poem. In addition, look for Valentine word searches or crossword puzzles that can be used for a fun game to see who can finish their puzzle first.<\/p>\n
