Want to surprise your kids and play a fun game? Download and print this free valentine tic tac toe. It’s an easy, fun way for your little one to feel the love, or you can even pass them out as class valentines!
Not only is this game great for all age levels, but I love that it combines something fun (like Tic Tac Toe) with a seasonal twist (like Valentine’s Day).
Fun Valentine’s Day Game For Kids
With Valentine’s Day coming up, I’m taking a different approach to this day of fun and hearts with my kids this year. Instead of the usual chocolate and candy, we’re going to stick with our theme of eating healthier, more nutritious foods.
But that doesn’t mean our Valentine’s Day will be boring or without special treats. Quite the opposite actually – we’re going to have an extra fun Valentine’s Day this year with pink and red-colored homemade playdough, a delicious bowl of Rainbow Fruit Salad, and a fun game of Valentine Tic Tac Toe!
Supplies Needed
Are you ready to put this Valentine’s game together?
This is what you’ll need before you print the game out.
- Printer
- Paper – You can use copy paper, but I suggest something sturdy like card stock
- Valentines Tic Tac Toe printable – Just download the PDF file for free and print
- Laminating pouches – While it’s perfectly OK to print the game out on regular paper and use a pen or crayon to mark the Xs and Os, I suggest laminating it and using a dry-erase marker. You will use a lot less paper and printer ink this way!
Game Piece Ideas For Tic Tac Toe
There are lots of ways that you can play this game with your kiddos. The easiest way is going to be with a dry-erase marker after you laminate the game. This way, all you have to do is wipe it off to start a new game!
There are also a lot of different kids’ snacks that you can use as markers for your valentine tic tac toe, too.
Here are some of my favorite ideas:
- Bunny Grahams
- Fruit-Shaped Gummy Snacks
- Snack Cracker Mix
- Frosted Animal Crackers
- Goldfish
- Cheese Crackers
You can honestly use any snack you like!
Tips:
- If you are going to use chocolates or crackers, just use different colors or shapes for the Xs and Os. Kids will love playing the game and then eating their snacks.
- If you are feeling really industrious, you could even use tiny cookie cutters and cut Xs and Os out of tortillas or carrots.

That tic tac toe game looks like a great way to have some fun and some nutritious snacks. I have bought the Horizon singles milk for myself when I know I want to eat breakfast but won’t be home–I also buy those single cereal bowls of dried cereal.

This is adorable. It would be perfect for my daughter’s classroom party. I especially like using the grahams as the “spots”. Kids will really enjoy that.

I’ve always loved Horizon milk! What an adorable printable too! Such a fun activity for this week.
Monica Maloney Heidler says
I always buy the horizon milk and snacks. I feel so much better about feeding them to the Grandchildren that the other stuff. They love it too. I know they will live the printable, especially with the snack grams. What a great idea.
