I teach at a training center that has mostly adult students. Every western holiday we usually do something to celebrate. We are going to have a Valentine's Day party and I am looking for ideas on what to do. Here's what I have come up with so far...

- Giving out famous couples names to the students. You must walk around trying to find the match for your name (eg. Romeo must find Juliet)

- Doing a version of the dating game

That's all we have come up with. Does anyone have any other ideas?

strip poker -

no no no! that was out of order - our kids know far too much about cards -don't want to encourage them more in that direction. They need games where physical excercise is of the essence -

The British Embassy in Cairo is said to have organized pen*is measuring contests (in the late 19th and 20th centuries, I think) on festive occasions - though I don't know if this was a special Valentine's Day event.

While I appreciate everyone's wit (or lack there of Shocked

) I am actually looking for HELPFUL suggestions. Is there anyone out there who has any of those

...and before the next comedian suggests it, I don't think seven minutes in heaven would be appropriate Evil or Very Mad

You could have them write out their description of their "ideal date/boyfriend/girlfriend" etc then have some fun with whose descriptions matched up with one another.... to make it more difficult and interesting, you could make a "taboo" list of words that they couldn't use (kind, pretty, handsome) Can you arrange for a local place to donate a gift certificate for a romantic dinner for two??? Play any game for this prize. I don't know your ratio of male to female students, but it is also fun to have a finish the sentence Love is... Love isn't....by writing then putting into a box, let different people pull them out and read them and guess if it was a male or female who wrote the answer. Hope your party is fun...you may just spark some romances!

Thanks so much for KL for some useful suggestions Very Happy

The prizes are all going to be Valentine-related. We'll be giving out dinner for 2 vouchers, bouquets of roses and boxes of chocolates.
