2 Easy and Fun Snowman Games!

16 Jan

I love finding a game that delivers huge results without a lot of time, materials, or hassle!

These 2 Snowman Games I found are just perfect for your next Community Group gathering, Bible Study Ice-Breaker, family and friends get-together, or simply play it with your immediate family after dinner one evening!

The first is called Dress the Snowman.

We played it at my birthday party last January using all of my nieces as the Snowmen – er, I mean, Snow-ladies.

Here is a picture to give you an idea…

Materials Needed:

  • Toilet paper (lots of it!)
  • Carrots (for the noses)
  • Scarves
  • Paper
  • Markers
  • Whatever you think will make a good accessory for a snowman!

Gather all of your materials together and then divide your group into teams.  In each team one person is chosen to be the snowman.  The teams have one minute (or however long you think) to decorate their snowman.  Have a judge choose the best decorated snowman at the end!

The Happy Hubby and I decorated the snowman in the picture that is all the way to the right.  We were pretty proud of our creation, but the prize went to the snowman to the left of ours. :-)

The second snowman game is called Blind Snowman Game.

We played this game at our Community Group last year as well as several other events at the church.  Everyone went NUTS over it!

In fact, I am not even kidding when I tell you that one man we know – who is the head of a HUGE corporation – loved the game so much he decided to play it at his next staff meeting!  Love it!

It is quite hilarious!

Give every player a piece of paper and a pencil.

One person is chosen to give the instructions below.

  1. Close your eyes- and no peeking!
  2. Draw the head of a snowman on your paper.
  3. Now draw the middle circle.
  4. Now draw the bottom circle.
  5. Give your snowman 2 eyes.
  6. He needs a nose.
  7. Now give him 2 arms.
  8. And 5 buttons marching down the front.
  9. Oh, and he has to have a mouth!
  10. And you’d better give him a hat before he melts.
  11. Open your eyes.  (Pause because there will be much laughter as everyone admires their artistic efforts.)
  12. Now use the following points system to see who has the best Blind Snowman.
  • If the head and middle section are touching or overlapping you get 5 points.
  • If the middle and bottom section are touching or overlapping – 5 points.
  • 5 points for each eye inside his head.
  • 5 points if his nose is inside his head.
  • 5 points for each button that’s in the middle or bottom section.
  • 5 points for each arm connected to his body.
  • 5 points if his hat is touching his head.
  • Who has the most points???  Give the winner a prize!! :-)

Here’s what the Happy Hubby’s snowman looked like…

I was super impressed!

I hope your Happy Homes enjoy these games as much as ours did!

Happy Snowman Game-ing! :-)

    Ha! This reminds me of the old bridal shower game where you have to make a wedding dress out of toilet paper! I’m visiting you from Skip to My Lou. I’d love to invite you to link up with us for Fun Stuff Fridays. http://www.toysinthedryer.com/2012/01/fun-stuff-fridays-7.html
