However, there was a priest who sympathized with the lovers and secretly married them. They called him Valentine. When everything was revealed, the young priestimprisoned.

It was there that Valentine saw the jailer's daughter and fell in love with her. The girl was blind, but the priest healed her. On the night before the execution, he did not cry, but wrote her a tender farewell letter, signing it "from Valentine." From here came the tradition of sending confession notes to loved ones. They are called "valentines". And the people chose the priest himself as the patron of all lovers.

The competitive part can be designed based on the TV show "Love at First Sight". In this case, the presence of several classes from the same parallel is assumed at the celebration. Each of them nominates one guy and one girl to participate in the games. The fun begins with the introduction of the players, followed by pair competitions. Before each of them, the composition of the pairs is changed so that the participants get to know each other better.

Contests

• "Mating dances". To a lyrical melody, depict a dance of lovers: swans, horses, monkeys, hares, penguins, bears.
• "Guess the tune". Love songs are playing.
• "Master of Compliments". Children draw out words on a piece of paper that must be inserted into their compliment. For example: brake, muffler, spindle, bobbin.

The scenario for Valentine's Day for young people is unimaginable without a dance program. To help teenagers cope with shyness, various entertainments are held. For example, these:

• "Dance dating". Two circles are formed with an equal number of participants: an inner circle of girls and an outer circle of boys. To the music they move in different directions. When the song stops, the teens facing each other make a couple. Sounds like a slow song. The game then restarts.
• "Spreading dance". A couple enters the center of the circle and begins to dance. When the music stops, everyone looks for a new partner and the dancing continues. During the next stop, already 4 people find a couple for themselves, and soon everyone is dancing.
• "Dancing with a mop". The game involves several couples and one "extra" young man. Instead of a partner, he is given a mop. Everyone dances to the music, after it stops, you need to quickly change your partner. Who did not have time, takes a mop.
