Sledding is every kid’s favorite winter pastime in colder climates. Just make sure you check the area for obstacles before you begin.

1. For sledding, all that you need is a snow covered, medium sloped hill free of rocks, trees or any other potential hazards.

2. Prior to your downhill run, check the course on foot for any other obstacles that might be hidden. Once finished, begin your ascent with your sled to the top of the hill.

3. If no sled is available, a simple piece of plastic can be used in place of it.

4. If a simple homemade sled made from plastic is used, whether you’re alone, in pairs or more riders, the sled can be controlled by using your heels to veer right or to the left.

4. The first player to locate the elusive Yeti gets to be the Yeti in the next round of play. Should the Yeti avoid being seen and returns to the starting point, he is saved.

White

Published

on February 19, 2009

in For Parents & Teachers, Games & Activities and Outdoor Games

Being able to see details, variations and contrasts in the snow is what is needed to be successful in this winter game.

1. Three small white items are held by each player. Items might include; a bottle cap, wadded-up paper or a piece of chalk.

2. With all the player’s backs turned and all in a line, they all count to three and they all throw their items as far as they can behind them.

3. The players count to three one more time and then go in search of the items thrown into the snow. Since the items are all white in color, they will be difficult to spot. Having an eye for detail will be very helpful here.

4. Once all of the items have been collected, a count is taken to see who has found the most and therefore has the keenest vision.
