20 Games Kids Can Play in the Snow
This is a sponsored post on behalf of Let’s Play, but all opinions are my own.
Do you anticipate the winter time? My kids adore this time of year where they get to go outside and enjoy the changing season, cooler weather, and embark on a journey they can make all their own.
Playing outside has really become something my boys enjoy. Rain, shine, or snow, they are determined and ready with solutions and ideas for hours of play!
These are such important moments in our kids’ lives. I love watching them set out on a journey right in our own backyard with hours of exploring and fun. It is like they step into a whole new world. It is in these moments that I admire my kids’ creativity and often times reflect on my own childhood moments of play.
As a child, we played with even the simplest of things from boxes to rocks. It was easy and fun and there was always a place for everyone. We too enjoyed the outdoors, no matter the season or time of year There is something about being outdoors and playing during the winter season. I’m committed to my role as a Play Ambassador with Let’s Play, an initiative by Dr Pepper Snapple Group that provides kids and families with the tools, places and inspiration to make active play a daily priority! Head on over to LetsPlay.com to check out five more ways for kids to play in the snow.

5 More Ways to Play in the Snow
It’s in the 70’s here, so no playing in the snow . . . yet. 🙁 We’re having crazy weather here in SC, but when it does snow, I’m going to try some of these games with the grandkids. The Ice Balloons sound like fun.
These look like so much fun! My kids cannot wait for the snow to start falling. It has been a pretty mild Winter so far so I have no idea when it will start to snow!
So many fun ideas here! Now, if only it would snow…the weather patterns over the past few years have changed so much that I’m always left wondering (it usually goes from rain to ice with no time to play lately). Saving with fingers crossed!
Ooh, what a fun post! I totally cannot wait until we get some REAL snow here in Northern NJ. We only got a dusting last night, sadly.
I really can’t believe that we haven’t had any snow yet! I live in Buffalo so we’ve usually have feet by now! My girls are looking forward to snowmen.
These are great games to play in the snow. I will have to share this with my friend. Now that we finally have some snow i know her little ones are excited to go out and play in it.
Who knew that there were so many games to play in the snow? I just love that the snow has finally arrived and the kids can play outside. Great post.
Where I grew up we didnt have snow so all these games are somehow new to me and now living in a country is a must I must learn some of these before I have kids
Look at all these games in the snow! The 3 things i ever did in the snow growing up was snowball fights, building a snowman and snow angels!
This picture is an adorable one indeed and playing in the snow is all we did as kids. We are lucky to have grow up in the U.P. of Michigan where we get tons of snow and winters last up to around 7 months. My kids are grown man but we will be going sledding this weekend. Even though we are all grow it is still fun to going sledding.
Nothing beats building a snowman and a snow ball fight. 1 Problem though – we still do not have any snow! Missing the snow very much this year.
What fun! We just got our first snowfall of the year yesterday and the evening before so my kids are DYING to get out there into the snow and play!
We just got enough snow a couple days ago where you could take the sled out. It was COLD! I’ve always wanted to build an igloo – we haven’t done that yet.
Now I want snow even more. 🙂 It’s been a little arm here and rainy…very rainy. We have had a lot of flooding. The kids have been wanting snow since before Christmas but all we go was RAIN. 🙂 I will be sure to keep this handy for if we ever get snow or even use a few of them in out muddy back yard. Mud sculptures and Tic Tac mud actually sound kinda fun. 🙂
Great list! It’s just started snowing here in Boston and we are going to need some great ideas to get through another winter out here.
