What better way to dash into winter than with a fun Snowman Party for your classroom?! With so many snowman-themed decorations and activities to do, your classroom will definitely be filled with lots of smiles and wonderful winter memories! Here are some very easy and fun party ideas that won't cause any meltdowns and are guaranteed to be SNOW much fun! Be sure to grab the free My Snowman Story printable as well for students to fill out.
Get into the spirit with this fun Winter Wonderland Bulletin Board Set! The border pieces, letters, numbers and variety of cutouts including snowmen, winter animals and snowflakes are perfect to help you set the winter scene! Use the Snowflake Plastic Tablecloth Roll as an easy backdrop along with some Snowman-Shaped Cellophane Bags filled with popcorn as a quick snack for your students to grab and enjoy! Better yet, set up a 'Make a Snowman Station' in your classroom so that students can fill up their own snowman!
For a fun directed activity, have your students create a paper snowman of their own to take home! Students will follow your lead as they assemble and build their own paper snowman. Add some glue and you watch your students have a ball! This activity is also a perfect small-group activity if you have a parent volunteer who can run this as a center for you!
Add some more excitement to your party and watch your students cheer each other on with the Pin the Nose on the Snowman Party Game! The student who can get the carrot closest to the Snowman's nose while being blindfolded wins the game. This has always been my students' favorite game, and now I have all the pieces that I need to reuse it again and again!
What's a snowman party without some fun snow-inspired snacks? Serve up some snowballs, I mean donut holes on these Snowflake Paper Dinner Plates and snow cones in these Snowflake Paper Cups! Tape these adorable Snowflake Bulletin Board Cutouts to craft sticks for centerpieces or tape them around your classroom for more wintery fun.
Don't forget to capture all the fun with these Snowman and Penguin Photo Stick Props in front of the Foil Snowflake Gleaming Door Curtain! It takes no time to set up and clean up is a COOL breeze!
And finally, encourage creativity with this fun FREE Snowman Creative Writing Activity! Students will love using their imagination to describe how much fun their snowman is going to have.
Prior to the party, read some fun snowman-themed books together. Next, brainstorm as a class what activities the students wish their snowman could do with them and record their responses on an anchor chart.
Last, students will use the anchor chart to describe what fun activities their snowman can do with them onto their writing printable! Whether students describe ice skating, skiing or running in the snow together, they will love the opportunity to be creative, use their imagination and practice writing complete sentences. Be sure to download the Snowman Story printable here.
