I'm a room mother for Laurel's class.  I've been charged with finding a game for the class to play at the Valentine Party this year.  Being me, I want it to be the best game the kids have, and I don't want it to be the same lame-o games they probably played last year.  I'm the different, unique, cooooooool mom, after all. 

Unfortunately, I think this is the most difficult party to find games for because of the age of the kids.  Any games that even remotely involve the word 'love' will cause the children either to collapse into giggles or refuse to play if one child is generally disliked and ostracized by the group.

I did some searching online, and of course most of the games which don't involve love are pretty lame.  In fact, most Valentine's Day games are just pretty lame in general.  Anybody have any ideas?  If nobody has any cool game ideas suitable for 2nd graders, they're going to end up pinning the heart on Cupid or something.  Eek.

Sorry, all the games I know involve booze or are lame.  I've always thought the prizes make the game.  I'd opt for cold hard cash.

How about I get the kids boozed up and make them wrassle for pennies?

We could do that for a 3-martini playdate.

We need a three martini playdate.  I'd host....

I'll have to get Greg to pick me up from your place.  ;)  

I think it's our turn to host a playdate, though.
