So, each December with my older group of children we assemble about 200 snowballs using newspaper and masking tape. I live in Southern CA where we don’t get snow. HOW ABOUT A GOOD OLD-FASHION SNOWBALL FIGHT? (California Style!) Play Simon Says according to the season and theme:įrosty Says, The Snowman Says, The Polar Bear Says, The Penguin Says, The Gingerbread Boy (or Girl) Says, etc.Ħ. Just play until someone in the class yells out the right answer. Most points win.įor small children don’t divide into teams, use a timer, or keep track of points. If the opposing team guesses correctly they get a point and the playing team loses a point. If the playing team cannot guess correctly, before the timer runs out, the opposing team may take one guess. If the playing team guesses correctly, before the timer runs out, they get two points. The player must then draw clues as to what was on their paper - their team guesses what it is. The player up draws a slip of paper from the bowl and then reads it silently and hands to it to the facilitator. Mittens, coat, snowflake, sled, ice-skates, snowman, etc…ĭivide the kids into teams. Also markers, slips of paper with different winter items/objects on each one, a container for words and timer. Make winter shape templates of mittens and hats…or snowballs and snowmen.Ĭut out the shapes (laminate if possible) and play as usual.īlackboard and chalk or a Dry Erase board. Take a large piece of poster board and draw the tic tac toe lines on it and laminate if possible. FOR WINTER… (With a larger group have 2 or 3 snowball throwers)Īdapt tic-tac-toe to play at different seasons and holidays. If a player is hit, he becomes the hidden player.If the snowball thrower doesn’t hit a player with a snowball, he must return to his hiding place, and play resumes.With a shout of “Snowball Fight!” the hidden player begins to throw snowballs at the players, who must run to the safe zone before a snowball hits them.The other players pretend to ice-skate, ski, or play in the snow. Have one player hide (turn their back) with a stack of ‘snowballs’.Before play begins, create a safe zone to which the children may run. Crumple up several sheets of paper to make snowballs.Here you will find 24 winter-themed activities and games to keep the kids busy when they are cooped up.Ĭrumple up the sheets of paper to make paper snowballs and try one or more of the following activities with the children:ġ. Set a Hula-Hoop on the floor and try to toss the snowballs into the circle.Ģ. Place a laundry basket on a table and try to toss the snowballs into the basket.ģ. Place a Ping-Pong ball on the mouth of an empty plastic soda bottle, then try to knock off the ball with the snowballs without knocking over the bottle.
