Build a Snowman


A simple activity I only do with Junior Primary on a week when Senior is playing a more complicated game (I usually pair this one with the Numbers Game for Senior). 

Supplies needed:
  • snowman pieces pictured above 
    • hat
    • head with eyes and mouth drawn on
    • torso
    • bottom
    • 2 arms
    • 2 buttons
    • carrot nose
    • scarf
  • marker/pen
  • list of ten songs you want to sing (one song per piece)
  • tape
Set up:
  1. Write a number on the back of each piece. This number will correspond to the song number you want to sing from your list.
  2. Have some tape ready to put on the back of the pieces.
Game play:
  1. Explain to the children that you are trying to build a snowman and need their help.
  2. Have a child pick a piece to put up on the board, then sing the song. 
    1. You can try to guide/force them to build the body first, but I never do. Our last snowman was a great masterpiece with everything attached to a floating snowman head.
