How to have a snow ball fight

You Will Need

  • Winter clothing
  • Ample packable snow
  • At least one other person
  • Snow fort, or something to hide behind like a statue or garbage can

Snowballs can be hard or full of ice and in many cases very damaging upon impact. Avoid getting hit in the face.

How To Have a Snowball Fight: Find good snow

Step 1: Find good snow

Find some snow that can be made into good, sturdy snowballs. Wet snow is best.

How To Have a Snowball Fight: Form a snowball

Step 2: Form a snowball

Form a snowball by grabbing a bunch of snow in your two hands and squeezing it together to form a ball. Round the edges off to form a good 3-inch diameter sphere.

A little heat will help melt the snow into a firm ball, so breathe into your hands as you form them.

How To Have a Snowball Fight: Make several snowballs

Step 3: Make several snowballs

Make a bunch of snowballs. Stockpile them near you or in a fort.

Snowballs made with ice, rocks, and other hard objects are considered very unsportsmanlike and can be incredibly dangerous.

How To Have a Snowball Fight: Find your target

Step 4: Find your target

Find your target. Throw a snowball at them when they least expect it. The element of surprise is crucial, especially if they’re bigger or can throw harder.

How To Have a Snowball Fight: Continue attacking

Step 5: Continue attacking

Keep throwing to disorient your opponent and to make a counter-strike difficult to execute.

Don’t completely deplete your arsenal before making new snowballs, or else you will be vulnerable to attack.

How To Have a Snowball Fight: Don’t stop until they give up

Step 6: Don’t stop until they give up

Continue until your opponent lies broken before you, or at least mildly irritated.

3,745 students of Michigan Technological University set the world record for the largest snowball fight on February 10, 2006.
