To add some fun, when the kids are going back to the end of the line have them skip, twirl, crab-crawl or dance. Directions: Divide kids into two teams and have each team form a single file line behind a designated starting line.
At the other end of the room each team will have an identical pile of winter clothing, such as a hat, scarf, mittens, boots, coat, etc. The kids will have to race, one at a time, to the pile of clothing, put on each item, take it off again, and race back to tag the next one in line. The team who completes the relay first, wins. Originally from Yahoo. Directions: Have children sit in a circle. One child is chosen to be the snowman. With eyes covered, that child can sit or stand in the center of the circle.
Give a small carrot or a paper carrot to one child. Have the child hide the carrot behind their back. All other children also have their hands behind their backs. Originally from Kidactivities. Directions: Set up your obstacle course and show the kids where they will go. The first person in line must have a scarf tied around both their legs so they waddle like a penguin.
That child then takes a spoon of snow spoon with a cotton ball through an obstacle course around the room and cannot not drop the snow or they have to start over. They must make it to the other side and add their snow to a bucket or boot.
Once they are done, the next person gets their legs tied together and goes. This game can have teams or just everyone takes a turn. Directions: Tie a piece of yarn or string across a foot playing area you could use 2 chairs to tie the sting to , about 1 foot above the floor. Divide the players into 2 teams of 4 and have them set up crab style face up, leaning on their hands and feet in their stocking feet on each side of the string.
Use a coin toss to determine which team will serve first, then have 1 player on that team launch the balloon into the air for a teammate to kick over the string to their opponents. The teams kick the balloon back and forth, taking all the hits they need to send the balloon to the other side.
If one team lets the balloon touch the floor, the other team earns 1 point and restarts the game by serving the balloon from their side. The first team to reach 15 points wins. Originally from Spoonful. Directions: This game is similar to Hangman. Draw two identical snowmen on the board, each with parts, like two or three circles for the body, arms, buttons, eyes, nose, mouth, etc.
Divide the class into two teams. For markers to cover up the spaces, students can use pennies or cereal or anything small from home. The student to get 5 in a row and call out Bingo first wins…maybe they get to pick the next spirit day theme? Or you send them some stickers? Or they get to choose the story you read next. Instead of Hangman, build a Snowman as the students guess the letters to a winter-themed word. With every letter they guess incorrectly, you draw a piece of the snowman: each round body part, the hat, each eye, the carrot nose, the mouth, the stick arms, and the top hat.
Act out winter or Christmas activities like a snowball fight or drinking hot cocoa or decorating a Christmas tree or ice skating. Holiday parties are the perfect time to do an art project. You can drop off the supplies to your students, have them pick them up, or use a simple winter-themed directed draw activity like these so it requires no supplies. You can have a winter holiday party without a scavenger hunt. If you're unable to empty ahem boxes of chocolates yourself, simply ask parents to bring in any they might have left over from the holidays.
Kids can work together in groups of to make their own candies, and assemble them in their very own "Winter Candy Land" box of chocolates! Bring gingerbread man cookie cutters along and make this great gingerbread playdough mix from sweetsugarbelle. Ready to step up? Kids love snow globes.

This fun, relatively mess-free craft is a great way to recycle all those empty plastic water bottles! Make a colony of penguins using a few simple recyclables and supplies.

Have each child that brought a treat to share, drop the item in each bag. The teacher can also stick their treat for the kiddos in the bags. When the party is over, staple the bags shut and the kiddos can carry them home on the bus. The best way to run a party is to break the kids up into four groups.
Each group will visit four activities which will be run by an adult — so you will need three volunteers, plus the teacher for a total of 10 minutes each. Each of the four groups of students will rotate to the different activities. That is around 45 min. Decide in advance three games and one craft activity for the class to do I will give you some ideas below. It is a good idea to assign one volunteer per game and one volunteer to run the craft station. The room mom or the teacher should keep track of the time and make sure they announce when the kids should rotate to the next activity.
Also, it is a great idea to give each station volunteer a winter book to read to their group in case they find they finish their activity before the allotted time.
