Valentine's Day Party
Today, I arranged for, hosted and set up a Valentine's Day Party for whomever in my Homeschool Party wanted to attend. I was a little disappointed with the fact that there are over 170 people on our list, but only 6 families signed up and in the end only four families came. It is frustrating when you have people saying 'hey, let's do something, let's do something' and then you plan something and people don't come. However, those of us that came did have some fun.
The kids and I got there early and decorated:
We had goodies (but I didn't take a picture). And we had lots of board games. And then we had some fun Valentine's games. We played chocolate tic-tac-toe, pin the heart on the tin man (I really should have taken a picture of that, but I was too busy putting on blindfolds and so forth), and we did the game where you take the words "Valentine's Day" and see how many words you can come up with out of those words. And we played a fun game called Steal My Hearts.
You put conversation hearts in a bowl, give the kids chopsticks and then set the timer and let them see how many they can get out of the bowl before the timer beeps. They enjoyed that as you can see:
shame about the numbers
but it does look like fun
good on you for organizing it
