The Pyramid Knock-Down
1 of 11
Start with nine large plastic cups, small buckets or empty tin cans for this snowball-pitching contest. Next, build three bases of snow about two feet high and three yards apart, making sure to level off your bases. On each base make a pyramid of three cups, inverted buckets or cans. Then, mark a pitcher's mound about 20 feet away from the bases.
To play, each pitcher takes turns trying to knock down the pyramids in order from first to third base by throwing snowballs from the pitcher's mound. The player who knocks down the pyramids with the fewest pitches wins.
Tip: For younger players, shorten the distance between the pitcher's mound and the bases.
