10 Ways to Have Fun on a Snow Day

You may wonder what are some activities you can do with your Kindergarten student on a snow day.  I have listed some ideas below.

1. After playing outside make some hot coco.  Have your child help you count out the number of marshmallows to place in each cup.

2. Bake cookies!  Have your child help read the recipe and measure the ingredients.

3. Play Board Games.  Use a game that is fun and keeps those Kindergarten skills fresh!  A board game like Chutes and Ladders is great!

4. Have a reading or movie watching marathon.  Spend the day reading their favorite stories and watching their favorite movies.  Better yet, read the story and then watch the movie.  A great example is Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

5. Indoor Snowball Fight.  Use socks rolled up to be the snowball.  You can stack pillows to create a wall.  Have your child tally the number of times they get hit by a "snowball."  Best part is you get to stay warm by being inside!!!!

6. Make a Fun Craft.  Find something that looks interesting to your child on Pinterest.

7. Go Sledding!  Measure how far each person traveled.  Then determine a way to go faster and farther.

8.  Measure the Snow.  Have your child make a guess at how much snow you have received.  Then measure it.  If it is snowing all day, have your child measure the snowfall a couple of times during the day.

9. Help a Neighbor.  Have your child help you shovel a neighbors sidewalk or driveway.  What  a great way to model kindness!

10. Melting Snow.  Collect  a snowball size amount and place it in a bucket.  Place the bucket in your garage, house, porch, etc to see where the snowball will melt the quickest.
