Indoor Winter Fun by: Deborah Shelton Tell the cold weather to take a hike, and get ready to have some fun! * Winter Beach Party Bring that fun-in-the-sun feeling into your home with a winter beach bash. Spread beach towels on the living room floor; wear your swimsuit and a pair of flippers (why not?); feast on hot dogs; make castles out of clay and play- dough; and don't forget to take pictures! * Winter Word Race Challenge your friends and family to a race of the minds. Set a kitchen timer for one minute. When the time starts, write down as many winter-related words as you can think of. The winner gets a cup of hot cocoa and the chance to choose the next word race topic. * Balloon Drop Who doesn't love a good balloon game? Arrange players in a circle and have them number off. The player with the highest number is 'It'¯. 'It'¯ stands in the center of the circle, and calls out a number while dropping an inflated balloon. The player with that number must catch the balloon before it reaches the floor. If the player catches the balloon, 'It'¯ calls another number. But if the balloon touches the floor, then that player is 'It'¯ and the game continues.
