This document provides instructions for using Valentine's candy hearts to form teams at an event. Participants each select a candy heart with a phrase on it, then find the others in their team who have the matching phrase. The document suggests using phrases, colors, or printed cards to differentiate the teams and notes that the number of items for each team should be equal. It also advertises a Holiday Collection resource book with over 300 pages of activity ideas for various holidays.

2. When everyone has
arrived and you are
ready to form teams,
tell everyone to shout
out their phrase until
they find everyone
else in their team.

You can change the
team divisions by using
the colors of the
valentine heart candy
instead of the phrases,
but you will need to
check and make sure
you have an equal
number of each color
before the game begins.

Obtain or print some
Cheap valentine cards
and use identical cards
instead of Valentine
Hearts.
