Playing with snowballs

Snow offers endless opportunities for fun, and playing in the snow and making snowballs is particularly enjoyable.

Suggested activities:

• Make snowballs with the children, and try to make them as hard and round as possible.
• Let the children throw them their own way first. Then try throwing with your right hand and left foot forwar, and with your left hand and right foot forward.

• Throw over something tall, or see who can throw the furthest.
• Start the throw with your throwing arm straight up in the air, and lower your arm a little further with each throw.
• Make a target and try to hit it, or throw snowballs at a wall and see if you can make a pattern.
• Build a snow lantern, a snowman, a snow castle or a snow cave.
• Lie down in the snow and make snow angels.
