Snow Golf Course

There are so many games to play together in the snow, and snow golf is something that is just as much fun to set up as it is to create. This game can be played in just about any sized backyard, but if you want a really big course, try the park. Don't think that just because you are an adult that you'll win at this. Kids have an amazing ability to knock our socks off when it comes to snow golfing. If you have a little golf set for summer play, it will work well for snow golfing as well. If not, grab the brooms and balls and go for it.

What you need: Spray bottles containing water and a few drops of green food coloring 9 plastic milk cartons, cut in half Various obstacles, such as a toy truck, sled or wheelbarrow Rubber balls Brooms

What you do: 1. Decide where the 9 holes are going to go in the yard. They should be spaced apart so there is plenty of action in between.

2. Trample the snow down around each hole, about 4 to 5 feet around.

3. Spray the green water mixture onto the packed snow.

4. Sink the bottom half of a milk carton into the snow in the center of the "green." This is the hole.

5. Add the obstacles around the holes. Make them challenging, but don't block the hole.

6. Take turns trying to hit the rubber balls into the holes with the broom. Keep score as in mini golf.
