Snowman Fun on the SMARTBoard!

This morning on Twitter Danny Nicholson shared a fun snowman activity that works great on the SMARTBoard.  It lends itself to a wonderful activity for having students follow verbal directions, review basic counting, usng verbal language or just for creative fun!  So this activity got me thinking — how many other interactive snowman activities might I be able to find that would work well on the SMARTBoard.  All of the sites have the same basic concept- drag and drop items to build, create, dress and bring the snowman to life.  And for those school systems that discourage the Christmas themed activities these might be a nice alternative. So here I go….

1. South Florida snowman- some very cute items are provided to build this sunshine state snowman who is relaxing on the beach!

2. Ten Little Snowmen from Enchanted Learning- a great interactive book that asks students to complete a specific task to create a snowman.  Great for following directions.

3. Kent nGfl Snowman-  I love the background graphics in this activity- the falling snow, the blue sky- so beautiful!

4. Build a Snowman: An Artistic Adventure- you need Java to run this activity.

5.  Build your own Frosty- don’t forget to first drag the snowballs to make the snowman.

6. Snowman Band e-card- Hallmark has a very cute e-card where you pick the instruments you want the band of merry snowmen to play. So have your speakers turned up and ENJOY!!!

7. Build your own Snowman from Merry-Christmas.com- what is fun about this site is that it has some “unusual” items to use to create your snowman.

8. Ben & Jerry’s Virtual Snowman- you can make a very “groovy” snowman here!

9. Dress Frosty- some cute graphics

10.  Build a Snowman

 So, as you can see, I found 10 sites- WOW!  If anyone has any other interactive snowman sites they have found, let me know and I’ll add them to  the list! ENJOY!
