Roll A Snowman Game
Does your family enjoy game nights as much as mine does? We’ve played this roll a snowman dice game over the years in my home mostly on a whim because there is no planning needed! All you need is this darling printable and a few simple items to play.
Roll a die, add the corresponding snowman piece to the snowman’s body and the first person to build their snowman wins! It’s a fun dice game for kids and adults of all ages. My young kids love it, but you could also have your teenage children play it to see who gets out of doing the dishes after dinner – get creative!

(This snowman dice game originally published on Somewhat Simple in 2011 and was updated with a waaaayyyy cuter printable in 2017. An older version was featured as a guest post on See Vanessa Craft.)
What an awesome and cute game idea! I need to do this with my boys. Thanks for sharing at our link party!
Thaks so much, I was looking for a wonderful gift game to give families this Christmas.
I am writing a round up post about Christmas games for families. I was wondering if I could use your photo with your website name and post title with proper link back to your site?
Thanks,
Lauren
Absolutely! Thanks for asking!
I love the idea of rolling for the snowman, I would like to adapt your idea for my music classes. Instead of rolling a die with numbers, I’d like for them to roll a die with note values to complete the snowman. I will only be using this for educational purposes and will give you full credit and link back to your blog post. I create my lessons in SMART Notebook for the IWB SMART Board and once I create the lesson, I’d like to post the lesson on my blog. The children will come to the SMARTBoard to roll the note value and complete the snowman at the SMARTBoard.
sincerely,

Such a cute idea, and I’m so glad you shared it! I use the game as a basis for our preschool snack this week. Instead of using the paper cut out snowman, we used powdered donuts, pretzels, candy corn and such to build our snowmen. It was a perfect activity for 6 little ones learning about the letter S. Thank you!
I used this game today for my daughter’s winter party. The kids had a blast. Thank you for sharing.
