Spanish Game for Valentine’s Day

Spanish game for Valentines Day matches verbs and pronouns.

This Valentine’s Day game is a version of memory. I based the cards on the phrases on candy conversation hearts.

If you’re looking for more activities for specific vocabulary, check out all our Spanish vocabulary games grouped by theme.

I made this Spanish Valentine game to reinforce the common pronoun-verb pattern ¿Me quieres? Te quiero. Players match the two cards that use the same verb.

There are questions and answers for fifteen common verbs. Take out the cards with verbs that your kids do not know and use the blank cards to add any additional verbs you want them to practice.

As the children play, it is important that they read the cards aloud. Kids can tell at a glance whether or not the cards match, but the idea is for them to hear the pronoun-verb combination.

When players turn over two cards that match, encourage them to read the question and then the answer. You can ask them to add sí or no: ¿Me llamas? Sí, te llamo. (Do you call me? Yes, I call you.) or ¿Me ayudas? No, no te ayudo. (Do you help me? No, I don’t help you).
