[edit | edit source]Four Corners
To play this game, number each corner of the ice skating rink. Write the numbers on small pieces of paper and place them inside of an ice skate.
- Play music while the kids skate casually around the rink.
- Stop the music at random intervals. When the music stops, everyone must skate to one of the corners.
- Pull one of the notes out of the ice skate and call out the number or color. Everyone in that corner is out of the game.
- Put the paper back into the skate, start the music again and continue playing until only one skater remains. That player is the winner.
Skate Chain
- Have kids line up with their hands on each other's waists, like when forming a conga line.
- Play some music and have the kids wind around the rink while linked together in the chain.
- Gradually increase the speed of the music, and challenge the skaters to speed up as the music does. Any kids who let go or break the chain are out of the game.
- Play continues until only two players are left. They are the winners.
