This is a fun game to play if you like having snowball fights, but do not have any snow.
You’ll need white pantyhose and flour to make the snowballs. You’ll need about 2 snowballs per student. Here’s how to make the snowballs: Take the pantyhose and cut the two legs apart from each other. Take an 8oz paper cup, fill it with flour and put it into the bottom of the pantyhose leg. Next, tie off the pantyhose with two square knots on top off each other, cut the pantyhose in between the knots. There you have it! A snowless snowball. Repeat the process where the knot is still in the leg until you have used it all. You should get about eight snowballs per leg from “queen size” hose. Feel free to alter this process with different size panty hoses.
Have the group break up into two teams with a brave youth leader as the leader. Split the area of play in half and have the leaders positioned a good ways away from each other in a designated place with only a little room to move around (a circle 4ft across is good). Then have the teams try and hit the other team’s leader. If a person is hit with a snowball while on the enemies side, they have to drop their snowball and return to their territory. The team that ends up with the leader that has less flour on them is the winner. To make the game a little more interesting, surprise everyone by entering water ballons in as ammunition half-way through the game.
