Play Reindeer Games.

Ice hockey may reign at Paws Up, but you can try your mittened hand at one of these powdery pastimes.

Ice-Castle Contest

Pack snow tightly in Bundt pans and see who can create the most epic winter retreat (or ice igloo!).

Snowball Practice

Place an archery target ($40; cabelas.com)—or any designated target—at shoulder height and...go!

Tic-Tac-Snow

Draw lines in the snow, then use sticks for Xs and pine cones for Os.

Ice Balloon “Egg” Hunt

Freeze balloons (or food-colored ice cubes) and hide in the yard. Try an ice bucket as a collecting caddy.
