How to Use the Printable:

To use the Valentine 5 Second Game printable, follow these simple steps:

1. Download and print the game cards from the email you receive after entering it in the download box below.
2. Print cards at home or a local print shop. I recommend printing the cards on white cardstock paper for durability. For added durability laminate sheets before or after cutting out cards. this also allows game cards to be used more than once. If printing on regular paper it can cause cards to get damaged more easily.
3. Cut out the individual game cards along the designated lines. 
4. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in a stack.
5. Set a timer for 5 seconds per turn.
6. Each player takes turns drawing a card and must answer the question or complete the prompt within the given time limit. Start with the first team, then followed by the second team.
7. If a player fails to answer within 5 seconds or gives an incorrect response, they are out for that round.
8. Continue to allow teams to playing until they have gone through all the cards or a certain time limit has elapsed.
9. The player with the most correct answers at the end of the game wins.
