Here is a game I do with the song "I Made A Valentine" from the MacMillan series 1988. I play it like seven-up.
I made seven hearts by getting paper heart-shaped doilies and putting a heart on it from the elison die cuts. I then decorated them with Valentine stickers and laminated them.
Choose seven people to go to the front of the class. The others close their eyes and everyone sings the song. The students with the hearts put them in someone's hands and then go back up front. When the song is over, the students who received a heart get one guess to see who gave it to them. If they guess correctly, they then take this person's place. If not, they sit down. If the students up front are not guessed, I let them have one more turn. If they have had two turns in a row, they must then give the heart to someone else who has not had a turn.
