Buy a packet of inexpensive Valentines. These usually include
a variety of simple valentines for youth and children to share
with their school friends. If you want to have more than one
hunt, you can different Valentine’s day cards in different
themes or different colored envelopes and hide more than
one set of cards. (i.e. great for more than one youth or teams
of youth)

the different themes are easily distinguishable from each
other or indicate different teams with a different colored

5. 3. Hide the Valentine cards throughout the house or in other
suitable places. As you hide each card, write a clue on the
outside of the card to direct the youth to the next hidden
card. These can be simple clues or riddles.
4. Along with the last Valentine, include a small love gift like
a box of chocolates, etc.

6. An important Rule
If you are hiding more than one set of Valentine’s day
card, be sure to tell the youth that they may only touch
their own cards. They may not take cards that belong to
another team if they happen to find them.

time limit with which to find the Valentine’s Day cards.
