A small picture can then be drawn to illustrate the word. The last section asks children to choose one of the ar words to write into a sentence.

A spin on the classic beetle drive game. Children take it in turns rolling a dice until they have successfully built or drawn their snowman. You can either ask children to get a 1 (the body) as their first piece (making it a bit more challenging!), or you can have them get any item to start building. The winner of the game is the one you completes a full snowman first. I have included the main sheet for the game, as well as different parts of the snowman that can be cut and laminated if children would prefer to physically build their snowmen.
