Here you can find some of the most interesting and engaging games that will help to go beyond standard and traditional gifts and celebrate the day with friends and other couples by make valentines day funny and unique.
This activity is one of the challenging and special events that makes valentines day funny. The game includes multiple choice questions about Valentine traditions and facts. To organize the game fast and easy use an online polling platform such as Swift Polling, which enables to conduct both web and text polls.
The facilitator sign up on the website and creates multiple choice questions in advance. Couples can participate through web or text voting. For web voting, they enter the Swift website, type in the event code and vote by tapping on one of the options under the question. In case of a text poll, attendees vote through sms by sending the number of their chosen option to the facilitator’s Swift number. Everyone can see the results in real time and determine the winning couple.
Another interesting activity that will make valentines day funny is the game “guess the Valentine song”, which reveals how well couples know the love songs. It can be played in two ways: Either participants should guess the song that is playing, or try to identify it based on the quiz.
Here again, an online poll maker (Swift Polling) easily organizes the game: For the first case the facilitator should create a text poll. During the event he/she will run the songs and ask couples to text their song guesses to the Swift number.
For the second case the facilitator can organize online short quiz with Swift Polling, where in each question a hint will be given to participants. They will enter the Swift website, type in the event code and take part in the quiz.
The couple with the most correct answers will win and get a surprise.
Thematic “Guess the word” game is an inseparable activity of all the interesting and special events. It makes the valentines day funny too.
To play the game a leader can tell a Valentine's Day-themed story or show a Valentine's Day-themed video to the couples. Then, he/she will set a time limit for the game and ask the couples to remember as many themed words as they can that they hear in the story and send them through text messages to the Swift number.
Otherwise, the couples can send their word options on the web. When the time limit is up, the leader can stop the poll and answers won’t be counted anymore. The couple with the most words wins.
One more engaging activity that can be organized on 14th February and make valentines day funny is “Identify the couple”. Let’s see how to play the game:
The facilitator creates web or text polls based on the fun and interesting facts on each couples relationship. During the event couples talk to each other and identify such facts.
Then, the facilitator demonstrates the polls on the big screen and ask couples to participate in the web or text polls. The process is the same as described above.
The couple with the most correct answers wins.
