  Activity 3.  Go sledding  ( up and down the hill, oh my! )

 Activity 4.  Get a group of people and play Simon Says,  it was too cold today.

Activity 5.  Gather up the family and make an obstacle course.  (jump the sled, around the snowman, throw snowball to target...you get the picture)

Activity 6.  Shovel your driveway, or your neighbors driveway.  (dress warm, and take breaks )

Activity 7.  Scavenger Hunt    (Divide into two teams.  Make a list of 20 winter items and race to see which team can gather them first! This is an outside activity; do not go door-to-door)

                      All activities are at your own risk.  Be safe.  Good Luck!
