Paper “Snowball” Fight
Snowball fights couldn’t have gotten easier…or less cold! All you need for this activity is a BUNCH of crumpled up paper balls. That’s it!
Divide the paper “snowballs” among teams or participants and let the fight begin!
*Be mindful of anything breakable that you might want to move before the fight gets started if playing indoors
