This is my commandment; love each other just as I have loved you.
John 15:12 CEB
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, this is an activity to help your family think about how to love each other. It’s a game called “Family BINGO LOVE,” and there’s a prize for showing the most love! If you’d like to print this page, click here.
Keep the conversation going February 5-11, with a special week of devotions on love at d365.org.

Each time your family celebrates a win, discuss a few of these questions:
- Name an activity you might do again when there is no reward, and tell why.
- How has our home been different since playing BINGO LOVE?
- Why do you think Jesus commanded us to love each other just as Jesus loves us?
