The document describes the icebreaker game "Toothless Valentine" where players sit in a circle and take turns asking and answering questions related to Valentine's Day without showing their teeth. If a player's teeth are shown from laughing, they are out of the game. The questions get passed around the circle and getting the next person to laugh is the objective. A variation adds reciting lines from the Song of Solomon while hiding the teeth. The document also advertises a "Holiday Collection" resource with over 300 pages of game and activity ideas to celebrate various holidays.

the circle.

show due to laughter, he

the question. Smiling is

Variation
Add a few lines of Solomon
and have youth repeat
them all the way around
the circle. Can you quote
them without showing your
teeth? When everyone has
quoted it go around again
with a different verse. Here
are some classics from the
4th chapter of Song of
Solomon.

Your eyes behind your veil
are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of
goats
descending from Mount
Gilead.

Each has its twin;
