You can download my documents using the access button at the bottom of this post. I’d recommend printing the first page on white card stock and then printing the other pages in pink and/or red. The big blank hearts are if you want to choose some of your own songs other than what I have suggested. The small blank hearts are for decorating your chalkboard. Cut out hearts then laminate everything.
You’ll also need something to ring (like a handbell, desk bell, Taboo game buzzer, etc.). I’d love to get these from Amazon one day:
Instead I always just pull out our Primary’s handbells (see more information on our primary’s handbells HERE).
- Jesus Said Love Everyone p. 61
- Reverence is Love p. 31
- Love One Another p. 136
- I’ll Walk With You (3rd verse only) p. 140
- I Love To See The Temple p. 95
- We Are Different p. 263
- Love is Spoken Here p. 190
- Where Love Is p. 138
- I’m Trying to Be Like Jesus p. 78
- Teacher, Do You Love Me? p. 178
- Mother, I Love You p. 207
- I Feel My Savior’s Love p. 74
- A Happy Family p. 198
This activity has always been a huge HIT (pun intended ;). A very fun way to celebrate the holiday while singing random, non-program songs that we otherwise would never sing.
Variations:
You can hang the hearts so the words are hidden then someone comes and picks the song to be sung (make sure they don’t look at the back). Take it over to the pianist and that’s the song to be used for that round.
If you are unfamiliar with some of these songs, you can make a play-list on an iPod or CD and use that to help. You could even have the primary just listen to the iPod/CD to make their guess and then sing along with the CD when you go to sing the song.
These printables are filed on my Resource Library page under Category Title > Valentine’s Day > Name that Primary Song About Love.

Stealing this. as usual 😉
I'm stealing this too. Thanks!! I'm new to primary and still relatively new to the church as well, so any help I can get is much appreciated!!!
OH MAN! I'M SO doing this one. I had another idea that I was going to go with, but this one… it's for Valentine's Day. It's perfect!
Thank you SOOOO MUCH!
Great idea- thanks.
I think I'll also include "Happy Family" (I love mother she loves me…) & have the kids dress like different family members w/ glasses for g'ma, tie for dad, etc.
Also "As I have loved you" and "As a child of God" (2nd verse) talk about love.
My kids loved this! I'm thinking of doing a variation for another time.
I love the binder idea!
I am totally using this idea for this Sunday. I love it! However, instead of bells for the Jr. Primary. I am going to have them hold up hearts if they know the song. We have a lot of little ones in our Jr. Primary so I think this will be a tad more reverant. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas. I'm singing time challanged so I appreciate when people like you share your talents with people like me.
Love everything about this! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! This was so much fun!
I have just been called as a Primary councilor and you have saved my life. My first week I am in charge of the music and you have helped me so much. I am excited and look forward to it….thanks to you!!
Thank you for sharing your ideas & talents! My primary will have so much fun with this. 🙂
Thank you, Camille! I used this activity today and this is how it went. Feedback time!
I printed, laminated, and cut out the hearts. I also had the activity title page printed and laminated.
Junior Primary:
Hid the hearts under their chairs, had them find them and put them on the board around the sign. Used sticks to choose a kid to come up and pick the next song to sing. Both my pianist and sub pianist were sick (!!) so I used a CD, music and vocals. I handed out egg shakers and told them to shake when they sang "love". They had fun at first, but when it got down to the last four songs I saw a bunch of yawns and eyes glazed over. I had to stop and sing some wiggle songs with them. So, overall an OK performance. They definitely got bored and I was so embarrassed when I didn't know the words to one of the songs. Whoops! 🙂
Senior Primary:
When they came into the room they magically divided themselves into two groups, eight on one side, eight on the other. It was perfect for the game! I used a taboo buzzer and had a last minute sub play the songs. When we sang I had them pop up and down when they sang "love". Turned out much better than junior 🙂
Thank you, again!
This is a great idea. Thank you so much for sharing!
Seriously you are so generous and creative! Thankyou for sharing your talents with us! I'm totally using this!
Im just wondering how many of these songs you actually sung? There are quite a few my kids don't know on the list so I will include some other songs they know that have love in them. Just wondering how many songs they will go through and how many I will need. thanks so much!
Hi The Coopers!
I probably got through a little more than half of the songs. I tried to keep things moving along quickly. I hope that helps!
