Would you rather…
Cold-weather choices about snow days, hot cocoa, sledding and staying warm. Good for indoor recess, a snowed-in afternoon or any time in the dark months.
How to use these in winter
Indoor recess is where these earn their keep. Put a question on the board, have kids vote by moving to one side of the room, and let each side make its case. It burns off energy without needing any supplies.
On a snow day, play them as a family over breakfast or while warming up after sledding.
