Cut the Pie - Snow Day Style!
Hey Everyone,
There is nothing like a day off school and a fun game to play with the kids while enjoying this unusual snow! Cut the Pie was always a neighborhood favorite back home when the boys were young. I thought it might be nice to share since we have so many families in the garden with children.
Ingredients:
Snow
Kids with energy to burn
Directions:
In the snow stomp around in a large circle, about 10 feet in diameter. Make sure the path is about a foot wide and well packed down. Then section the circle in half and repeat until your masterpiece resembles an 8-piece pie.
Make sure the children understand they cannot cut through the pie but only travel on the paths you have made.
For the game of tag, the child who is "IT" stands in the center of the pie. On the word "GO", they must cut the pie and try to catch or tag another child. The child who is caught or tagged is then "IT" next.
Repeat as necessary to burn off energy!
I also found this pie on Pinterest with slightly different rules that sounds like fun as well.
