        After reading The Snowy Day during circle we have a "snowball" fight in the room using marshmallows. The rule for this activity is that you must stay seated. You can only use the "snowballs" that land within your reach. Afterwards we fix hot chocolate in the room and use the unused marshmallows for the hot chocolate. While the kids are drinking we read other snow related books.

      Little Snowman - sung to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"

      Little snowman round and fat,
      In your scarf and funny hat.
      Orange carrot for a nose,
      Frosty head and frosty toes.
      Little snowman, be my friend.
      Please don't melt till winter's end.

      The Snowman

      Roll the snow into some balls.
      Make a snowman, oh so tall.
      Place a hat upon his head.
      Give him buttons that are red.
      Use some coal to make his eyes.
      You can do it if you try!
      Next, he needs a carrot nose.
      Where will we get one of those?
      Make a mouth and he'll be done.
      Making snowmen is such fun!

      The Snow Folks

      I look out the window,
      And I see a place
      That's covered all over
      With white, frosted lace.

      This place once had colors,
      But it changed overnight.
      And now it's a
      Glistening, magical white!

      I wonder who lives
      In a place where I'd freeze,
      If I didn't wear sweaters
      And boots to my knees.

      These folk must be snow
      From their heads to their toes!
      For I'd never be happy
      With frost on my nose.

      The folks who live here
      Just love to be out
      In the cold, wintry drifts
      As the snow swirls about.

      They're happy in blizzards.
      They smile through a storm.
      They laugh when it freezes,
      But they cry when it's warm!

      Build A Little Snowman - sung to "I'm a Little Teapot"

      Build a little snowman, starting with his feet.
      Put on lots of snow, and pat it all so neat.
      Then make a round ball, and put it up on top.
      The the sun will come out, and make the snowman hot.

      Build A Snowman - sung to "Frere Jacques"

      Build a snowman, build a snowman,
      Big and round, big and round,
      Sun is shining on him
      Sun is shining on him
      He's all gone, he's all gone.

      Melting Snowmen

      Here's a snowman round and fat; (make circle with arms)
      Out comes the sun and melts his hat. (touch head)
      Here's a snowman with a scarf of red;
      Out comes the sun and melts his head. (touch head)
      Here's a snowman, fit as a fiddle;
      Out comes the sun and melts his middle. (touch stomach)

      Out comes the sun and he's all gone!

      Merry Snowflakes

      Merry little snowflakes falling to the ground,
      (fingers flutter life falling snow)
      They're landing on the treetops, covering our town.
      (fingers flutter)
      They softly fall on noses (touch nose)
      And make our hair look white. (touch hair)
      They seem to call, 'Come out and play!' ('come here' motion)
      As they fall throughout the night. (repeat first action)

      High hills,
      Spins, spills.

      Flying, crying,
      'We're sledding!'

      Snowflakes falling down,
      (wiggle fingers downward)
      Falling on the ground.

      Watch them as they dance and whirl,

      Icicles

      As I was playing all alone,
      I made an icicle ice cream cone.
      With an icicle cone you won't need a dish,
      And you can have snow cones whenever you wish!
