If you’re hosting a Valentine’s or Galentine’s party for grown-ups, these fast-paced challenges bring out everyone’s competitive side.

Lipstick Relay

One person applies lipstick, kisses a paper heart, and passes it on to the next teammate.

The goal is to collect as many kiss marks as possible in one minute.

It’s funny, messy, and the perfect icebreaker for any Valentine’s cocktail night.

Stack candy hearts one by one to build the tallest tower before it falls.

Sounds easy… until you realize those little candies wobble like mad!

This one gets intense fast!

Sweet Tooth Race

Move M&Ms or conversation hearts from one bowl to another using only a straw.

It’s a race against time and lung power.

Expect laughter and a few candy spills.

Place a bunch of differently-shaped candies before each contestant, making sure each candy appears exactly twice.

Players feel the candies and make their best guess at which matches are correct.

Valentine’s Minute to Win It Games for Teens

If you’re planning a Valentine’s dance, youth group hangout, or school club party, these games are a total hit with teens.

They’re fast, slightly competitive, and fun enough to get even shy kids joining in.

Heart Stack Showdown

Give each player a pile of candy hearts and see who can build the tallest tower in 60 seconds.

It starts calmly but turns into chaos when the tower wobbles right before the timer buzzes.

Cupid’s Balloon Burst

Write silly dares or mini prizes on slips of paper and put them inside pink or red balloons before inflating.

Teens must pop as many balloons as they can in a minute to see what they “win.”

Sweet Shot Challenge

Set up plastic cups at varying distances and give players candy hearts or marshmallows to toss.

Each cup has a point value—see who can rack up the most before time’s up.

Love Song Shuffle

Play quick 10-second clips of love songs and have teens race to name the artist or finish the lyric.

It’s hilarious when everyone starts belting out the wrong lines at once.

Chocolate Stack Relay

Using only one hand, stack chocolate squares into the tallest tower possible.

If it falls, you start over—so it’s a real test of focus under pressure.

Valentine’s Minute to Win It Games for Kids

These are classroom-safe, low-mess, and super fun for Valentine’s Day parties.

Kids use a spoon to transfer as many hearts as they can from one plate to another.

It builds coordination, focus, and a lot of giggles—especially when a candy heart goes flying.

Balloon Pop Race

Tie pink and red balloons to kids’ ankles and let them loose to pop each other’s balloons.

The last balloon standing wins!

It’s silly, noisy, and guaranteed to get the whole class cheering.

Cupid’s Target

Tape a bullseye on the floor and have kids toss beanbags or paper hearts to hit the center.

You can make it more challenging by increasing the distance each round.

Chocolate Relay

Give kids oven mitts and have them unwrap as many Hershey’s Kisses as possible in 60 seconds.

It’s pure chaos, but it’s safe and easy to clean up!

Hide paper hearts around the classroom and let kids find as many as they can before the timer runs out.

You can write sweet messages or point values on each heart for extra fun!

You’ll learn who secretly knows every line from The Notebook and who can’t remember a single lyric to “Love Story.”

It sounds simple until nerves kick in and pieces go flying.

The person with the most chocolates in the jar after a minute wins!

Love Letter Shuffle

Kids race to spell from a list of short words using magnetic or paper letters.

The child who spells the most words in a minute wins!

Heart Drop

Drop paper hearts from shoulder height and try to land them inside a plastic cup on the floor.
