Snowman

6th July 2009 by Shandri Brown

Works Best:

Can be played up-front with audience watching or in teams with the whole group playing. (I prefer it as a team activity, as it can be quite time consuming).

What You Need:

Large garbage bags (one per team)
Shaving foam (about 2 cans per team, though the more the better)
Safety goggles (one per team)
Box of snowman acessories for each snowman (ie. hat, scarf, carrot etc)

The Game:

The challenge is to create the ultimate snowman. Each team chooses one member to be the foundation of their snowman. That person wears a garbage bag over their clothes so as not to get them covered in foam, and a pair of safety goggles. Team members use shaving foam to cover them in 'snow' and decorate their snowman with old hats, shoes, mittens etc. You may want them to hold a carrot nose in their mouth etc. Each team has a set amount of time to build their snowman. The team that makes the best looking snowman wins.

Other Notes:

Lay a tarp down and have towels handy for clean up.
Have prizes for the winning team.
Shaving foam can be pretty stinky so your snowmen will want to clean up fairly soon after game. Have something ready as a filler for while they do this.
