Make your snowballs
Give everyone a few pieces of scrap paper. Everyone needs to have the same number of pieces.
Everyone should write down some activities, games, badges, or adventures they’d like to try. They should write one idea on each piece of paper.
Everyone should scrunch each piece of paper up to make a snowball.

Have a snowball fight
Split into four teams. One team should stand in each corner of the room.
Use masking tape, cones, or rope to split the room into four sections.
The players should put all of their snowballs on the floor in their section.
The person leading the game should start a countdown. When they get to zero, the snowball fight can begin.
Each team should throw the paper snowballs in their area into other teams’ areas. Each team should aim to have no snowballs in their area.
After a few minutes, the person leading the game should tell everyone to stop.
Each team should take it in turns to read out all of the snowballs in their area. The person leading the game should write the ideas down, or collect all of the paper, so they can remember the ideas later.
As each team reads out the snowballs that have ended up in their area, they should count how many snowballs were in their area. The team with the fewest snowballs in their area is the winner.
Everyone should gather back together in one group to talk about all of the ideas they’ve heard. Did anyone especially like an idea someone else came up with?
