Intro
Harold and Madge Bishop, Romeo and Juliet, Lancelot and Guinevere, Aladdin and Jasmine… there are so many iconic couples from history, books, films, TV – and real life – that you can use in this game.
You simply have to pair up the lovers, by matching up one half of the paper heart with another. The love hearts will be scattered all across the table and it’s your job to reunite them!
Enjoy the game in a group, or one-on-one, anytime – or when love is in the air on Valentine’s Day!
What you need
- 40 broken hearts, with couples’ names written on. You need to cut out 20 red or pink hearts, cut them in half and write one partner’s name of either half (e.g ‘Romeo’ on one half, and ‘Juliet’ on the other).

The Activity
- Invite the person or small group to sit around the table
- Lay all the broken hearts on the table, with the names facing up
- Invite someone to choose a broken heart and find its other half on the table to make a pair
- Once they’ve found a pair, invite the next person to choose a broken heart and find a match
- Keep going until every heart is whole again
- Encourage everyone to share their memories and opinions about each match
Top tip
Make things a little easier by keeping the left-hand heart halves on the left, and the right-hand hearts halves on the right. That will give people less to flick through when they’re hunting for a pair.
