3. Snowball Fight
Kids love fun things to do in the snow. Try a snowball fight after the next snow. The key to a good snowball fight is to make a bunch of snowballs before you start throwing. You’ll have a snowball stockpile, while your enemy is trying to roll and throw.

Use the snowfall as a learning opportunity for your kids. Measure how deep the snow is using a ruler or measuring stick. Compare different parts of the yard or different objects to see if more snow was collected in certain areas.
