Valentine’s Day Minute to Win It Games
All of these games areMinute to Win It style gamesand depending on the number of people playing, there aredifferent ways you can play them.Don’t know whatwhat minute to win it games are?Start with myminute to win it games pagethat’s full of instructions, scoring ideas, and more!
Style #1: Minute to Win It for Individuals – Man vs. Clock
In this version, one player will be trying to beat the clock for each game. So for instance, they will have to try and complete the game within a minute (hence the minute to win it name). If they do, they win a prize.If not, let someone else have a shot. If you go with this style, I recommend choosing a different person for each game.As an alternate version to this, you could also let the same person continue playing games until they can’t finish one in a minute. Or you could haveeveryone playing individually all at the same time (similar to version 3 below but in individuals rather than teams) and see who all can finish the challenge in a minute.
Style #2: Minute to Win It for Groups
In this style, you’ll pick two players for each game who will going head to head against each other playing a game rather than trying to beat the clock. So you’ll give each person the game supplies and see who can finish first. The first person to finish wins the prize.Again, rotate through pairs for each game, repeating players as necessary but this works well when you have smaller groups so everyone can participate in a variety of games.
Style #3: Minute to Win It for Teams
In this style, you’ll split your group into two (or 3 or 10 depending on the number of guests) teams.For each game, teams must choose one player to compete head to head in the game with the other teams. So for instance, one person from each team will be given the supplies and game instructions. When you say go, everyone competes to be the first to complete the game.First team to finish gets 5 points, second team gets 3, third team gets 1, and everyone else gets none. This works best if you have quite a few people and is a good way to get everyone involved cheering for their team.Note: If any of these challenges seem to easy or too hard for the group you’re playing with, feel free to adjust slightly. For instance, if you have an extremely coordinated group for #1, make them catch 10 or more.

Teams must race to be the first pair to successfully move a balloon from one side of the room to the other using any part of their body other than their hands.Start by having one person bounce the balloon off of their “heart” then keep moving.If the balloon hits the ground or someone touches it with their hands, they have to go back to the starting line. Even better if you use heart shaped balloons!

Cupid’s Cups
Stack six cups on top of a table on one side of the room and give the player a Nerf gun with a limited number of shots in it.Player has to use the Nerf gun to play cupid and knock all of the cups off of the table (not just down, actually off).If they run out of bullets, they have to run across the room to refill.

As long as the rubber ducky is touching the heart, it counts.Players must either cover all of the hearts on the table (do 3-5) or get the most in a minute out of the group to win.

If they miss their three rings, spin them again prior to tossing their rings again.
