Connect Four and Othello are my all-time favorite board games! But I’ve been traveling a lot lately and don’t have access to the Connect Four game, so I thought I’d make a fun variation…on paper, a super cute kawaii Valentine’s Day Four in a Row Game!!!
The cool thing about this V-Day Four in a Row free printable game is that you can play it by yourself or with others. Just roll the dice and you’re all set. Just color the images as you go till you get four in a row! 😊
If you’re playing this Valentine’s Day Connect Four Game on your own, you can time yourself and try to beat your fastest time to get four in a row and play a few times. If playing as a group, whoever gets to four in a row first (diagonal, horizontal, vertical) wins.

How to Play Valentine’s Day Four in a Row
- Print the game page (one per player, or share one and use different colors)
- Each player picks a color (crayon, marker, colored pencil, etc.)
- Decide who goes first and roll one die on your turn
- Find the matching number section on the page
- Choose one icon in that section that hasn’t been colored in yet
- Color one square with your chosen color
- Take turns rolling and coloring one square per turn
- Block strategically (if someone is about to get four in a row, block them with your move
- Win the game by being the first to get 4 of your color in a row (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal)
- Tie-breaker option: if the board fills up, whoever has the most “almost four” lines wins
- Play again and swap colors (kids LOVE rematches)
• Other printables are either functional OR cute. I bridge the gap between the two. Since I'm a single mom and don't have time to mess around and am a kid at heart, I love something that actually propels me forward and gets the job done quickly, while still having that super cute vibe I'm known for.
• I'm a graphic designer FIRST. This means my printables, whether free or paid for, will always be of the highest quality and print crisp and clear on any printer.
• I love what I do and I do the work myself. I'm not hiring these out. This is my life, my hobby, my passion, my heart.
• My fans are obsessed with my work. To date, I've made over $23M on printables alone (organically) in the past 8 years.
Yes! Except for some large binders, all printables on the blog are 100% free for personal use. I make these because I genuinely want you to have something cute and helpful right now without having to spend a dime. You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, more organized, and more you, and if a simple printable can make your day feel lighter, I am so happy to give that to you.
Absolutely! You're welcome to print as many copies as you need for your own students or church groups. I only ask that you do not edit them in any way (leaving the full copyright line in tact) or sell them or host the digital files on other websites. Please always link back to this post to share with others.
For best results, I recommend printing on 8.5"x11" white paper. These are professionally designed as high-resolution PDFs so they will stay crisp and clear, making them perfect for any printer.
