Conversation Heart Hop – Valentine’s Day Gross Motor

Conversation hearts have been around at Valentine’s Day for as long as I can remember.  I’ve noticed that the “conversations” on the hearts have evolved over time.   The  hearts for the conversation heart hop game have movement based words as their “conversations.”  It’s a simple, fun game that can be enjoyed by all age levels.  Along with the valentine delivery game, the conversation heart hop is a great gross motor game for Valentine’s Day !

Conversation Heart Hop -How To Play

Option 1

• Place hearts face down.
• Let kids take turns picking a heart.
• The entire class performs the activity on the heart.

Option 2

• Place the same number of hearts as students on the ground.
• Have students walk or hop on hearts until music stops.
• When music stops students must perform the activity on their heart.
• When music starts students start moving between hearts again and play continues.

This can easily be modified to a musical chairs like game.  Have one less heart than students playing.  When the music stops the student who is not on the heart is out.
