Valentine Folder Games

A few years ago, I made some file folder matching games - out of Valentine's cards!!  (I got the cards AFTER Valentine's Day, when they were super cheap, so that makes them even better!!  ;)  However, if there's a favorite character you're looking for, it might be worth it to spend a couple dollars & get the cards early, before they're gone!!  ;)  You can actually make a few sets out of one box of cards!!

I cut off the Valentine's messages & just kept the pictures.  I attached one set of cards to cardstock (or could use extra file folders), cut them out, then laminated them with clear Contact paper!  I used magnetic tape to help the matches "stick".  (I thought this would be nice & quiet if we took them to church! ;)  You could also use velcro - - or nothing at all!!  For the other set of cards, I glued them onto the file folder, then laminated the folder with clear Contact paper!  Easy, peasy!!  ;)  ** Another idea:  use the pictures & attach them to index cards to make a memory game!!
