This document provides instructions for a Valentine's Day youth group icebreaker game called Valentine Candy Teams. The game involves breaking youth into teams based on Valentine's candy hearts with messages like "BE MINE" or "KISS ME". Each youth is given a candy heart at arrival without eating it. They then must find their teammates by shouting out their candy's message. Variations include using candy colors instead of messages or printed cards instead of candy. The document also advertises a Holiday Collection book with over 300 pages of holiday event ideas.
