What you need: Using scissors, you need to make red, white, yellow, green and blue hearts of all sizes and shapes out of construction paper. Next, cut each heart into four broken pieces.

How to play: While players are out of the room, scatter all of the broken heart pieces. Invite the children into the room to hunt for all of the heart pieces. After a certain amount of time, ask each player to put his or her pieces together to make full hearts.

The rules: Count how many whole hearts each player has, and give points for each whole heart by color: white (one point), blue (two points), yellow (three points), green (four points) and red (five points).

How to win: Whoever has the most points wins the game.

What else you need to know: If a player only finds broken hearts, he or she could win some sort of booby prize.
