Valentine's Dress Up Games


Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and if you’re in the mood to play dress up games, this is an excellent day to have fun with – everyone else seems to take flowers and such so seriously.

Create Matching T-shirts
Grab some white t-shirts, some rubber bands and a bit of clothing dye in red or pink. Then, twist and bunch your shirts together using the rubber bands to secure them. When the shirts are ready, make the dye and dunk each shirt multiple times in the dye to create the final product – matching tie-dyed t-shirts to commemorate the holiday.

Dress as Love
You can also push the dress code boundaries at your school by dressing as the god and goddess of love. Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty and love. Dressing in a full gown similar to the ones worn by the ancient Greek goddesses should be simple enough if you’re handy with a needle. Of course, dressing up as cupid, often shown as a diapered child, will be a bit trickier – especially if you bring the bow and arrow.

The Anti-Valentine
While not especially romantic and not very cheerful, you can express your disregard for the trappings of Valentine’s Day by wearing all black or gray – as if you’re morning what the Valentine’s Day holiday is all about. Dead roses might be just what you need to complete the look.
