Polar Bear Party Games

Snow Wrap
Easy and fun party game! Which polar bear team will be first at wrapping their partner in snow (toilet paper). Guests get into several teams of 3 and each team gets 2 paper rolls. One team member will be wrapped in "snow" by the others. On "start" the teams wrap their team mate in "snow". First team that uses all their "snow" wins!

Polar Bear Shuffle
In this game the guests try and move their whole group from one side of the room to the other using only icebergs and a lot of team work.  You will need white washcloths or pieces of white or blue fabric about 12" x 12".  Line the kids up and give them one more wash cloth then all the kids playing.  The first person in line will place the wash cloth on the ground and step onto it.  They take another one and place it in front of the one they are standing on.  Then the first person moves to the new washcloth and the second person in line steps onto the first washcloth.  They then place another washcloth down in front of them and they all move up a space while the third person steps onto the first washcloth.  Continue until all the players are stepping on a washcloth and there is one extra behind them.  Then the last person in line bends down and picks up the last washcloth and the kids pass it to the front of the line where it is placed in front of the first person in line.  Then the line moves up one space and they repeat until they have crossed the room.  You can play this with one or more teams.  

Sugar Cube Igloos
Let the guests create their very own igloo using sugar cubes and white icing.  Give each guest a paper plate, sugar cubes and a ziploc bag filled with white icing (carefully seal the bag and cut a tiny hole in one of the bottom corners for an easy pastry bag).   Start by having the children make a circle of icing on the paper plate and then putting the first sugar cubes on the icing so it will stick to the paper plate and be easy to take home.  Have a contest or just let them have fun creating.  Great to send home as a party favor!

Snowball Treasure Hunt
Before the party hide lots of cotton balls around the party area.  Let the party guests search for the cotton balls.  After they have all been found let them turn them in for candy or prizes.
