Introduction• Every adult who grew up with

snow loves a snowball fight, no matter how old or young they are. Well, almost every one of them. This snowball fight doesn’t send icy shivers down the neck of your jacket or sting your face. It’s just fun, memorable, and effective. And you don’t need mittens. One, two, three…fight!

Game Specifications• Purpose -Teambuilding,

sharing on a subject of your choice, renewing a sense of play.

• Ideal Size -This game would work with any size.

• Preparation - Before the beginning of the game, prepare ten funny questions related to a common topic.

Game Specifications• Time Needed -As long as

you can stand it. 20-30 minutes is ideal.

• Materials Needed - Paper from your recycle bin would be perfect if one side is blank.

• Supplies – Paper, Pens or pencils.

How to play• Ask participants to take a sheet

of paper. • Ask them not put their names

on their papers, and legibly write answers to ten different funny questions.

• Once all of the questions have been asked and the answers written down, ask participants to leave everything in their areas but the paper, and join you in the open space in the room.

How to play• Instruct the participants to

crumple up their papers, and tell them that the name of the activity is Snowball because they are about to have a snowball fight!

• Conduct the snowball fight for a suitable length of time. Once you stop the fight, ask the players to pick up a snowball (making sure that they do not end up with their own paper).

• Then ask each one to read out what is written out in the paper.

Facilitation tips

• Do not give away the name

of the game until after the

participants have already

crumpled their papers and

are ready to throw or the

surprise will be spoiled!

Variations

• Get the questions from the

participants by asking

them for a list of questions

they want to know about

each other, then pick five

and use those to play the

game.

Why it is an excellent game?

• This activity hits all VAK

learning styles: visual — the

placement of the answers on

the page, auditory — hearing

instructions and introductions,

kinesthetic — throwing the

snowballs and physically

linking up with others.
