Valentine’s Day Matching Game – stick these free printable dots on the bottom of Hershey kisses for a fun Valentine game for all ages!

valentines day free matching game with hershey kisses

I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for ways to make the smaller holidays more fun for my kids. Valentines Day isn’t geared towards kids–especially boys. What boy gets thrilled about pink hearts and ruffles? I know mine don’t. But throw in some candy, and Valentines Day becomes much more fun!

This matching game involves chocolate, so it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day. It would work great for classroom parties, but we’ve been playing it at home and my boys love it. Every time you find a match, you get to eat the Hershey Kisses. Who doesn’t love that? 🙂

To set up the matching game, download and print the free printable game card below. Then punch out the circles and glue them to the bottom of Hershey kisses. (A 3/4″ punch is the perfect size.)

free-printableTo play the Valentines Matching Game, take turns choosing pairs of Hershey kisses. If the two pictures on the bottom are a match, you get to keep (and eat) the Hershey kisses.

Note: This game works best with multiple players, but if you have a small group, you can simply punch out fewer pictures. I know I for one wouldn’t want my kids downing 30+ kisses in one sitting!

Update 2/5/13–I found out why many of you are having issues printing the game, and it is because I am a newbie to printables and don’t know what I’m doing. Yes, it is true, I’m admitting it. I used dingbat fonts for the graphics, and apparently if you don’t have them on your computer, they won’t print out. I had no idea!

I have made a second addition of the Matching Game and added a second page to the PDF file. I replaced all of the dingbat fonts with shapes that I created all by myself. Wheww! It’s not quite as cute, but it should work for all of you. If you don’t have the fonts “Luv n Kisses, 4Yeoval, and WMValentine”, use the second version!!

To download and print the game, just click one of the links below:

    Hi Kara!

    I love your blog! My kids helped me pick out some Valentine’s Day games for a “class party” we’re having in our homeschool and found yours on Pinterest and loved it!! I wanted to let you know that I featured it in my latest YouTube video! You can see it here: https://youtu.be/wEKYhLif1w0

    Thanks for sharing such a fun game!

    Made these for a kindergarten class party – so cute!! Thank you! I printed it on label paper and then just had to cut them out and stick them on.

    Hi, I had a problem downloading this as well when I click on the link. However, if you right-click on it and then save it, it works that way. Thanks for this printable, it is adorable and I’ll be using it for my kindergartener’s class party!

      I am not sure what is going on Merrilee. That is very strange! Try it again and let me know what happens.

    Hi Kara,

    I LOVE this idea! Unfortunately, when I click the link to print, it says “Not Found” and directs me to a search box. Not sure what’s going on, but I’m super bummed cause I’d love to play this game with my kids. Thanks so much!

      I had to consult with my techie husband, but apparently the apostrophe in Valentine’s was messing up the link. I renamed, re-saved, and re-uploaded, so it should work now. Sorry about that!
