You need 2 pairs of much too big winter boots, 2 big winter jackets, 2 scarves, gloves and hats. Two children each compete for a fixed distance. After the starting shot, the competitors put on their clothes. It is very funny to walk in clothes that are too big.

lumberjack competition

You need a log, nails and hammer. The children hit a nail into the wood one after the other. Who needs the fewest punches?

Snowball Game

All children are in a circle. The birthday child forms a ball of any size from snow. Now everyone is throwing the ball at each other. If the ball is not caught, the child is “in love”. The next mistake is "engaged", then "married" and then "divorced". The child is eliminated from the last mistake.

They face each other, at a distance of approx. 3 meters from the neutral field in the middle. Here is the balloon. The children throw snowballs and try to drive the balloon into the opposing half.
