Roll-A-Snowman game (with printable)

Last weekend, the "cousins" got together for a post Christmas celebration.  I wanted to plan a few little activities for them so they would have fun without too much chaos ( 8 kids between the ages of 2 and 10 can quickly get pretty wild! ) I've seen the idea for this roll-a-snowman game in several places, but none of them were exactly what I wanted.  Thanks to PicMonkey, I was able to make my own version and the kids had fun with it.  (It's available as a free printable at the end of the post)


Check it out...

I just printed out 8 copies and gave each child a die to roll and some crayons.  To keep the pace even, I just had them all roll their dice, follow the directions, then wait till everyone else finished.  Then, I'd tell them to roll again, add the feature, and wait a few seconds for everyone to finish again.  If they rolled a number they'd already used, they didn't draw anything for that turn.  (You could also play it so you just keep adding the features, even if you already rolled that number, and end up with snowmen who have 3 noses and 4 hats!) When the kids rolled all the numbers and completed their snowmen, they got to go into the other room to make their own Snowman Sundaes.  It was a pretty quick activity, but they all enjoyed it.

If you'd like to play the game too, just click on the photo below for a free printable. (The printable is in color, but you can print in grayscale if you'd like)
