How to set up the Disney Valentine’s Match Game
It is such an easy and simple game to set up that even young children can have a go. However, always be mindful that there is the need to use scissors and young children should be supervised when using them.

You could even laminate them if you wanted so that they can be preserved and used again in the future.
How to play the Disney Valentine’s Match Game
Now that you have everything that you need and have set up the game here are the instructions on how to play it. You can easily print them off but if you don’t have the opportunity to do so then here is a quick rundown.
- Gather your prepared name cards and give them a good shuffle ready to be used.
- When your guests arrive or when a group of people is finally together to play tape a name to each persons back without showing them who the character was.
- The players will then ask each other yes/no questions to try and figure out who their character is.
- Players will then work to match with the other half of their Disney couple.
Notes and Tips
While it is a relatively straightforward game to set up and play, there are a few pointers to make things easier that I wanted to share with you.
- Always make sure that children are supervised when using scissors to cut out the memory cards.
- Using a laminator means that this game can be played time and time again. No game will be the same as you place the cards in a different order each time.
- This is a great game to use at a party. It is all about getting your guests to talk to one another and having Disney as the centre of conversation can help to break the ice. Especially when guests may not know each other too well.
- Get younger children involved. This is a great game for younger children as it is all about memory and communication. So that they can learn to ask the relevant questions.
Variations to Try
Of course, like with anything, there are variations that you might want to try. So here are a few suggestions.
- This game has 26 character names that can be used. But if you don’t have that many people to play just make sure you leave out couples so that everyone will have a chance to couple up with their matching character.
- Instead of matching up with the other couple, they could always guess what film they are from instead of the character name. The same basis for the game is there where they will ask yes/no questions, but the end result would be to identify the film. This could work well with children.
- If you have more than 26 players then why not think up some extra couplings. Elsa and Olaf, Moana and Maui, for example.
FAQs
Often with things like this, there are some questions that you might want to answer, so here are a few of the common ones to help you when setting this up or playing the game. However, if you still have a burning question please feel free to get in touch or leave a comment.

If you do have more then you could always try and think up some more couplings that have not been included.
