Among the joys of winter are ice and snow sports! The combination of sun and snow is just perfect to enjoy a day outdoors. Select a day with sunshine to have a Snow Bowling tournament along with other fun snow activities with your community residents.

Make a lane (or multiple lanes) through the snow using a shovel. Smooth down your bowling lane using a large wooden board or sleds. Then set up your 10 pins in a 1/2/3/4 triangle.

Wildlife is an important part of every community and your critters should be looked after in the winter months. This clever activity involves making a giant snow cake for local wildlife!

The idea is to do something fun for the kids as well as help them understand how weather affects local bird and animal foraging patterns. If you don’t live in a suburban or rural area, this activity may also involve a “field trip” away from more densely populated areas or even to a local park (check with your city about needed permissions!)
