Games to enjoy the snow with the children
Winter brings with it the cold and, sometimes, Snow. In places where we are not very used to, when a fall is good take advantage of the snow, and better playing. There are many games to enjoy the snow with the children, and they are a perfect plan for a Sunday in the mountains.
Snowmen
The first game that can come to mind is also the one that never fails: make snowmen. An activity to do as a family, build the snowman It encourages everyone's creativity because competitions can be held to see who best clothes their "snowman". In addition, it requires some exercise to move and lift the snowballs. Family fun is assured, of course, as long as you keep warm.
An idea to give originality to the game is make different dolls: with snow we can do many different ways: worms, pyramids, butterflies ... any way you can do it with a little creativity. Take the opportunity to encourage the inventiveness of your children!
Put your nose to the snowman
Another fun game to do in the snow is like the famous "put the tail on the donkey" but adapted to the circumstances: put your nose to the snowman. You cover your eyes and try to locate the nose, mouth or eyes of the doll. Surely your son passes it "pipe" to see where the body parts of the doll finish.
Drops through the snow
Sledges, mats or even plastic bags they serve to throw themselves by the snow when there are small unevennesses. You can do races to see who comes before or jump together for the same sled. The options are varied and very fun although, yes, we must take some precautions: that the descent is not very pronounced and control the terrain well so that there are no stones in the path that hurt us.
Three in a row in the snow
Have you ever thought about play tic-tac-toe in the snow? Some sticks or pineapples will make chips, and it is only necessary to draw the grid in the snow: we already have our perfect game to have a nice time.
War snowballs
Another of the greatest classics when it snows is the War snowballs. Putting basic rules, such as not throwing them in the face and be careful not to hurt. You can design a "battlefield" and put objects in half to protect us, it will give more emotion to the game.
Now, if we do not like that kind of games, you can also use the snowballs with other goals, like a contest to see who is able to throw their snowball farther. Of course, taking care that there is nobody around who we can hurt.
Snow castles
On the beach, a very entertaining option is to make sand castles, Have you thought about doing them with snow? The form of "construction" is the same, only that on this occasion our creations will be white and much more original.
