Indoor Winter Fun
Tell the cold weather to take a hike, and get ready to have
some fun!
* Winter Beach Party
Bring that fun-in-the-sun feeling into your home with a
winter beach bash. Spread beach towels on the living room
floor; wear your swimsuit and a pair of flippers (why
not?); feast on hot dogs; make castles out of clay and play-
dough; and don't forget to take pictures!
* Winter Word Race
Challenge your friends and family to a race of the minds.
Set a kitchen timer for one minute. When the time starts,
write down as many winter-related words as you can think
of. The winner gets a cup of hot cocoa and the chance to
choose the next word race topic.
* Balloon Drop
Who doesn't love a good balloon game? Arrange players in a
circle and have them number off. The player with the
highest number is "It". "It" stands in the center of the
circle, and calls out a number while dropping an inflated
balloon. The player with that number must catch the balloon
before it reaches the floor. If the player catches the
balloon, "It" calls another number. But if the balloon
touches the floor, then that player is "It" and the game
continues.
