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.
