Four Corners

The beauty of this game is that it’s random who is “out,” rather than basing the game on skill. Therefore, it’s better for skaters who are younger or not as strong on the ice. To play:

Freeze Skate

This game is played similar to the classic party game of freeze dance.

Skate Chain

This game takes a little bit of strength and coordination, so it’s probably better for older skaters or those with a little bit of experience on the ice.

Gliders

This game is a twist on a traditional skating race.

Ice Potato

This game is modeled after the traditional party activity of hot potato, but it has been modified to play on the ice.

Trinket Stops

Load up on inexpensive prizes, such as candy or $5 gift cards, to give out as prizes for this game.

Follow the Leader

This game is played like the well-known schoolyard game of Follow the Leader, except that it is played on the ice.

Ice Words

This game takes keen observational skills, so it’s better for older kids.

Ice Skate Pass

This game takes place off the ice, so it’s fun to play before or after the kids have had their turn on the rink.
