Class Guide for Winter Fun

Create a class how-to guide for enjoying winter outdoor time. Include sections on what to wear, how to stay safe, and various fun activities your class can do (see below for ideas). Let your students help design the pages.

• Build animals out of snow.
• Use child-sizes shovels to clear sidewalks or play areas. Haul away snow using sleds.
• Make colored ice cubes by adding a few drops of food coloring to water. Hide them around the play yard and let the children hunt for them.
• Look for animal tracks in the snow.
• Make a snow shelter.
• Use diluted food coloring in spray bottles to color the snow.
• Leave birdseed on ground at night. Inspect the snow the next morning to see who came to lunch last night!
• Have a scavenger hunt in the snow. Use sticks to mark the hidden locations with an “X.”
