Create Strong Hearts & Strong Friendships This February!

Valentine’s Day is great, but Galentine’s Day? Even better. It's all about celebrating the power of girl friendships, building each other up, and creating space for meaningful connection and confidence. If you're planning a girls group, classroom session, or workshop around this time, Galentine’s Day is the perfect theme to spark heart-to-heart conversations, fun bonding activities, and leadership growth.

Whether you're a coach, teacher, mentor, or parent, these 10 empowering Galentine’s Day activities will help you create a feel-good, friendship-building workshop that girls will remember long after the last heart confetti has settled.

💡 Key Takeaways

• Galentine’s Day is a fun, feel-good way to spark friendship, self-love, and leadership.

• Mix creativity, conversation, and confidence-building for a well-rounded workshop.

• Focus on inclusivity, kindness, and helping every girl feel seen and supported.

• These activities work for girls’ groups, classrooms, or one-time workshops—easy to adapt and lead with impact.

Let’s break it down…

💖 1. Power Compliment Circle

Kick things off with a confidence boost! Have girls sit in a circle and take turns giving a sincere, non-appearance-based compliment to the person next to them. Think: “You always make me laugh when I’m having a bad day,” or “I admire how brave you are when trying new things.”

Why it works: Builds positive peer connections and teaches how to give and receive meaningful praise.

💌 2. DIY Galentine Cards with a Twist

Instead of traditional cards, have girls create Galentines that highlight qualities like kindness, loyalty, or leadership in one another. Provide colorful supplies, stickers, and prompts like “You inspire me because…” or “One thing I love about our friendship is…”

Pro tip: Create a “compliment wall” to display these cards as part of the decor!

🎭 3. Friendship Scenarios Roleplay

Use real-life scenarios (included in our Galentine’s Day Activity Kit!) to spark discussion and roleplay healthy friendship skills. What should you do if a friend talks behind your back? Or if you feel left out? Girls take turns acting it out with confidence and kindness.

Why it works: Teaches boundaries, assertiveness, and empathy in a safe space.

💬 4. "Strong Heart" Journaling Prompt

Hand out heart-shaped templates and ask girls to journal about a time they were a good friend or showed self-love. Prompts could include: “I felt proud of myself when…” or “One way I stand up for myself is…”

Reflection = growth. Give space for sharing, or keep it private.

🎨 5. Kindness Rocks

Break out the paint pens and smooth rocks! Girls decorate kindness rocks with uplifting messages like “You are enough” or “Kindness is powerful.” They can gift their rocks or hide them around school or the community to spread the love.

Feel-good bonus: Encourages giving back and brightening someone else's day.

💎 6. Confidence Confetti Jars

Each girl decorates a small jar and fills it with affirmations, strengths, and accomplishments written on slips of pink and red paper. Encourage them to read one any time they need a boost.

Mini but mighty: This makes self-love tangible and ongoing.

🧩 7. “Friendship Is…” Puzzle Poster

Create a giant heart-shaped puzzle (cut from poster board) and give each girl one piece. On their piece, they write what friendship means to them. When assembled, it shows how every voice matters in the group.

Visual impact: A beautiful way to celebrate differences and togetherness.

📸 8. Galentine’s Gratitude Booth

Set up a DIY photo booth with props and a gratitude wall. Girls can snap silly pics together, then write something they’re thankful for about a friend and post it on the wall.

Memories + meaning = magic.

🎤 9. Fearless Girls Open Mic

Host a mini open mic where girls can read a poem, perform a skit, or share a story about friendship, kindness, or courage. This builds confidence and gives girls a chance to shine.

You’ve got this: Let girls know it’s okay to be nervous—bravery comes in many forms.

🫶 10. Heart-to-Heart Partner Walks

Pair girls up and send them on a short walk (indoors or out) with guiding questions like “What makes a great friend?” or “What’s one goal you’re working on?” Let them share, then switch partners.

Real talk: Small conversations build trust and confidence to open up.
