How to Have a Snowball Fight – Are There Rules?

After waiting all seasons, last night’s snow finally reached the right moisture level for making snowballs (and snowmen). Perfect winter days like this don’t happen that often, so you and your kids will want to have as many snowballs as possible.

Are there any rules for snowball fights? Or is there a ban on entry?

•  Snowball fight rules vary from player to player, but there are some basic rules to follow.
•  Use only white snow, no yellow or brown/black eyes.
•  Do not make snowballs with stones in them. Glasses for  face/head rather than  body

 This article takes a closer look at the rules above and other rules  you and your neighbor’s children may decide to apply to your snowball game. Then we’ll talk about the basics of snowballing. We will share some tips on how to win, so read on!

 Basic rules for snowballing.

 Let’s start with the basic  rules of snowballing. As I said in the introduction, most snowballers always agree with the following rules: However, these rules are not implicit, so be sure to mention them to your opponent!

 No yellow or brown eyes.

 This is perhaps the most important rule of  snowball fights. Brown eyes are dull from dust, car exhaust and other pollutants. No one wants to get hit by a brown snowball. Because the fun of playing snowballs disappears very quickly.

 yellow snowballs are even worse  as it means your eyes have already urinated. Perhaps the neighbor’s dog did. Just think how terrible it would be if a yellow snowball whistled around your face. Don’t expose your opponent to this. This is rude.

 Do not put stones in the snowball.

The snowball can hurt especially if you hit your opponent in the right position, but it’s just snow. At least it should be. Rolling small pebbles or pebbles into a snowball is good for your team, but it’s a scam. If you tell the opposing team to refrain from doing this, you should do the same.

  Head/Face is most valuable

 This is a more flexible basic rule and can be omitted. For example, if you’re playing snowballing with small children, you probably don’t want to hit someone in the face or  head. The same is true when parents are playing with their children. Perhaps the rule is that a child can hit an adult’s face or head, but not vice versa.

 In any case, it is clear that there are parts of the body that cannot be dealt with in a snowball fight. This will prevent injury!

 Other Important Rules to Set Before You Have a Snowball Fight

You’ve got the basic rules, but you and the other kids in your neighborhood  still have  a lot of other rules to set before the game begins. Now let’s talk about them.

  Number of Rounds

 The first step is to determine how many rounds the snowball fight will last. You can do four or six. It’s all up to you.

 Length of Each Round

 The length of each round must also be considered when determining the number of rounds to be played. For example, you and your opposing team throw a snowball for 4 rounds, each round lasting 3 minutes.

 With just 12 minutes of playtime, even young children can catch up and enjoy the thrill and fun of snowballing. By resting between rounds (about 2 minutes each), everyone can maintain  stamina from round to round.

 What is the scoring system?

 Now that we have our game set up, we need to decide on the  scoring system for the snowball fight.

 In the previous section, we said that the snowball thrower’s face and head usually score the most points. If this is the case for a game,  assign  a certain number of points (eg 5 points) to the head/face. Then there are 3 dots on the torso  and 2 dots on the limbs.

 Then you must choose the number of points the team must win. Perhaps the rule is that the first team to score 10 or 15  wins. You can also play so that the team with the most points after 4 rounds is the winner. This is your choice, so think carefully.

 How many snowballs can you leave behind?

 Now we must talk about the fairness of the fight. You cannot win with snowballs without snowballs, but you must decide how many ready-made snowballs the contestant can hold. Otherwise, one team may have 20 snowballs and the other may have 5 snowballs, which is unfair to the other team. It’s good to see someone watching a snowball fight on the streets of

 (more on that in a moment). No one but you and your team will stand there and count the snowballs. So you’re acting a bit on the honor system. Be an honest player!

Can I use  snowballs?

Another aspect of the definition is whether all players have to roll their own snowballs  or can they get help from devices like snowballing. If  the former,  you and your opponent must decide what the  diameter of the snowball is  to be fit for battle.

If you choose to use snowballs, both teams will have device so no team has an advantage.

How to make a snowball fight

 It’s boring to tell kids, especially kids, all the rules, but you know how much they need. That way you will finally have the snowball fight everyone has been waiting for! Here’s how to play.

 Choose your team and role.

There are two teams in the  snowball fight. Each team must have the same number of people. If  adults are playing,  select the same number of adults per team. If you have a

 team, it’s time to give them a role. Yes, that’s right. Snowball fights have a role. Snow troopers are people who leave their base to attack enemies. Mechanics will make a snowball. The sniper will remain behind cover and attack. Then there is the team captain who leads everyone else.

Choose the base.

 Both teams have home bases. This is where you hide, snowball, strategize and fight. Depending on where you are playing snowballs, your base may already be available or you may need to spend some time building a snow fortress. Examples of existing foundations might include a group of trees or a driveway behind a truck.

 Have timekeepers and scorers.

 You can’t hire everyone in the area to play snowball because you need someone to take on a more passive role. One of the tasks that keep the game running smoothly is the timekeeper. They mark the start and end of each round and tell players how many more rounds are left.

The scorer observes the match from a safe distance, keeps track of who hit what, where, and then assigns points to each team.

 Use  safety words.

 Children can become tired and spoiled if they play too long. You may be injured, especially if you are hit by a  hard snowball. We need  safety words that kids can use when they want to relax. Choose this word before starting the game. Make sure this is not the same word you use in casual games or in everyday conversation.

 Tips to Win a Snowball Fight

 You are running for victory, and so are the rest of your team. Here are the best tips on how to defeat your enemies and win the snowy battles!

 Take Cover

Whether you are at Site or elsewhere, you cannot stand or be outside during snowy combat. Then you are an easy target. You and your teammates must always hide, whether crouching or hiding.

 Wear gloves when rolling a snowball.

 Some people make snowballs stick with the warmth of their hands. I can only roll 3-5 snowballs, but is it okay to roll only 10, 20, or 30 snowballs? Your hands will start to freeze overnight. We’re sure there’s no need to tell you this, but if your hands are paralyzed then you’re not a very worthy player.

 Wear gloves when rolling or throwing snowballs. Gloves are too thick to limit the  dexterity of the fingers required during a snowball fight.

 Choose suitable winter equipment.

The   outdoor winter gear is everything when it comes to snowballing. Stack the layers to avoid freezing, but avoid faces, especially for  base layers. Cotton doesn’t absorb sweat, so the sweat  on your skin feels colder.

 Choose a layer that absorbs moisture. Yes, you will start to sweat after throwing snowballs, throwing them, running around. Avoid oversized winter coats and winter trousers. These clothes will reduce your flexibility and cause you to lose in the game!

 Take Aim

 Throwing a snowball in any direction does not win. You have to find the target, aim it, and aim towards it. However, remember that  this is not as easy as the target is constantly moving. Watch the target  move and don’t lose sight.

Mastering the  Throwing

The  snowball throwing technique is easier to master by practicing baseball with your teammates. You must be in the correct position before throwing. Turn your legs toward you and keep your knees slightly bent. Your legs should be at shoulder distance.

 Hold the snowball in your hand, raise your hand and rotate it over your head. Then slide your hand forward to release the snowball. Hold the snowball firmly. But grab so much that the snow falls out of your hand. Always throw with your dominant hand.

 Final Thoughts

 Snowballs are a great way to get some practice, create fun winter memories and bring the community together. Set the basic rules in your group, then prepare to do your best. Good luck!
