Snowman slam

Resources

For snowman cups:
6 paper cups (compostable) for each group
sheet of orange paper
sheet of black paper
glue sticks
scissors
pencil

For game:
stocking rolled into a ball

Instructions

Aim of Game
To work in groups and play as a team while also considering the environment.

Introduction
Arrange the Ladybirds in groups of three or six. Let them know that each group will be decorating paper cups with snowman faces and then stacking them up to play a game. Where there are groups of three, each Ladybird should decorate two cups each. For groups of six, Ladybirds should decorate one cup each.

Instructions
For snowman cups:
1. Each Ladybird should cut out a small triangle from the orange paper as a nose and small circles from the black paper for eyes and a mouth.
2. Glue them on to the paper cup to make a snowman face for each cup.
3. Try and use as little glue as possible to enable the materials to be composted afterwards.

For game:
1. Ask each group to place three cups upside down in a line on the floor at the end of the room.
2. Now, over the three cups, ask each group to place two cups, and then one cup on top of the two cups. Very simply, each Ladybird group should have a triangle shape with three cups, two cups and one cup. When each group has their cups set up, arrange each group in a line in front of the cups.
3. Each Ladybird in the group takes a turn with the rolled up stocking to try and knock down the tower.
4. The first group with their tower down wins the game.
5. Stack the cups again and repeat.
6. The best of three games wins.
