Celebrate Valentine's Day with fun and engaging gameplay using our classic Connect Four game, now available in two exciting game modes!

Game Modes:

2. Connect Four by Answering 25 Editable Questions for Any Subject

This resource includes 25 default questions specially designed for 1st-grade students, but you have the flexibility to easily customize the questions to fit any grade level or subject of your choice.

Keep track of the scores with the counter provided each time you finish a game, making it even more enjoyable for your students.

How to Play Valentine Connect Four:

• Players must connect four discs of the same color in a row to win.
• Each player takes turns placing one disc at a time.
• Players can adopt offensive or defensive strategies to outwit their opponent.
• The game ends when a player successfully connects four discs in a row, or if the board is filled, resulting in a stalemate.
• The player who started the previous game goes second in the next game.

How to Play Valentine Connect Four with Questions:

• Divide your class into two teams.
• Players must connect four discs of the same color in a row to win.
• Only one disc is played at a time.
• Players can be on the offensive or defensive.
• If a player wants to place their disc in a space with a question, they must answer the question correctly first. Click on the question symbol, and it will take you to a question slide. Click on Cupid to reveal the answer. If the question is answered correctly, the player can continue their turn by placing the disc. If answered incorrectly, the player loses their turn without placing any disc.
• The game ends when a player successfully connects four discs in a row, or if the board is filled, resulting in a stalemate.
• The player who started the previous game goes second in the next game.

Among the 42 heart spaces on the board, there are 25 question symbols. This means that 17 spaces do not require answering any questions to place a disc.

Editing the questions is straightforward. Simply go to the slide with the question you wish to change, delete the existing question, and type in the new one. Go to the next slide to modify the answer accordingly.

Rest assured, we offer a version without Macros for those who prefer not to use them. However, if you trust Macros, consider exploring our Macros version. It offers added features such as random questions, ensuring you never play the same game twice. Additionally, it includes three sets of questions: 25 questions for 1st graders, 25 questions for 2nd graders, and a set with all 50 questions from the previous sets combined.
