gifts of the month hi everybody my name
is Alisha welcome back to top words
today we’re going to talk about ten snow
activity words so let’s go sledding the
first word is sledding sledding is a
popular snow activity so a sled is
required to do this so a sled is like a
smallish plastic toy that kids usually
can sit in so to go sledding there’s
usually a snowy hill so kids go up the
hill with the sled and then put the sled
down sit on the sled and slide down the
hill or sled down the hill so this
activity of going up the hill and coming
down the hill is called sledding it’s a
lot of fun okay in a sentence
have you ever tried sledding skiing the
next word is skiing so skiing takes the
same idea as sledding however the
equipment is just different so skis
there are two pieces to like essentially
long sticks we attach to our feet and
then we take a chairlift usually so we
take a ride up a mountain and get to the
top of the mountain attach these skis to
our feet and go down the mountain so
there’s no sitting down hopefully here
just riding on the skis two pieces
attached to our feet down the mountain
in a sentence let’s go skiing this
weekend okay
snowboarding the next word is
snowboarding snowboarding so again same
idea go to the top of a snowy hill and
come down but again the equipment is
different so skis as we talked about
there’s one piece of equipment attached
to each foot snowboarding however has
just one piece of equipment that is
attached to both feet it’s a board like
a skateboard really so again we take it
to the top of the hill attach it and
slide down snowboard down the mountain
we can use snowboard and ski as verbs as
well in a sentence I haven’t been
snowboarding since
Highschool that’s true snowball fight
the next expression is snowball fight a
snowball fight is a very popular thing
for kids and adults to do so a snowball
is just a ball made from fresh smell and
a fight is everybody throws snowballs at
each other so snowball fights can be
very dangerous if you tightly pack the
snowballs it’s generally nice to pack
the snowballs lightly by pack I mean
like to crush to crush them lightly if
you make them very very tight you can
really hurt somebody when you throw it
at them but a snowball fight is
generally like a fun game that kids and
adults can play together in a sentence
we should organize a big snowball fight
igloo the next word is igloo igloo so
igloo is actually a word that comes from
a different well it comes from the
Inuits I believe which refers to houses
or refers to buildings made from snow
and ice but building small houses which
we can also perhaps call igloos in some
way can also be a fun activity for kids
and families to do on snowy day so
making kind of it’s not really a house
necessarily but just it’s just making a
small structure or something small out
from snow the children can go inside and
play and it’s just kind of a different
experience an interesting new space for
kids to explore so we can say making an
igloo or building an igloo is a popular
snow activity in another sentence I want
to try making an igloo someday
snowshoeing the next expression is
snowshoeing snowshoeing so this is an
interesting one that’s kind of heard
it’s very difficult I’ve never done it
myself but in it’s typically done in
places where the snow is very light so
you attach a special it looks kind of
like a tennis racket if you can imagine
it you attach this to each foot a
snowshoe it’s called a snowshoe and then
you can walk across the snow even the
very light snow so if you don’t wear
snowshoes you might fall through the
snow but wearing snowshoes allows you to
walk across the very light
snow so you can get kind of an
interesting experience like hiking
through the snow a little bit but with
special shoes that allow you to do that
so snowshoeing is a popular activity in
a sentence snowshoeing is really good
exercise tobogganing the next word is
tobogganing tobogganing is very similar
to sledding in that it’s going down a
hill in like a something you can sit in
but a toboggan is I’ll it’s like a long
sled you can think of that also to my
understanding their traditional
toboggans made from wood as well that
were very fast in the snow and that
could go down mountains and hills very
quickly so but tobogganing is something
that people still do in snowy weather
but yet they can be very quick and very
kind of dangerous if you don’t know how
to control them a toboggan is used for
tobogganing
so toboggan is the equipment the item
used to go down the hill in a sentence
tobogganing seems really fun snow angel
the next expression is snow angel a snow
angel this is a very simple just like
great thing to do at the end of a day
when you’ve been playing in the snow so
it’s snow angel is you lay your body
down in the ground and when your body is
laying in the snow you make this motion
with your arms and you make the same
motion with your feet and then someone
helps you to stand them from that
position the shape that your body
creates from this motion it looks like
an angel a little bit so we call that a
snow angel making a snow angel so that’s
kind of a fun thing to do at the end of
the day when you’re tired from playing
in the snow in a sentence my brother and
I used to lay in the snow and make snow
angels that’s true okay
build a snowman next one the next one is
snowman a snowman or snow woman I guess
is is a very popular activity in the
snow especially for kids so the idea is
you roll balls of snow together usually
two or three I think well you have to
have minimum
- so you roll a ball of snow up and then
you roll a slightly smaller ball of snow
and put it on top of the first ball and
then maybe another slightly smaller one
usually there’s like three and they make
the like lower part the middle parts and
the head of a person and then if you’ve
watched movies sometimes families use
like a carrot for a nose or pieces of
coal for eyes maybe there’s a hat on it
so it’s a popular family activity to
make a man or a woman or maybe sometimes
a snow family from the snow in their
yard so this is a really really fun
exercise in a sentence do you want to
build a snowman build a snow fort the
last expression is build a snow fort
build a snow fort so a fort means like
well a fort literally a fort is like a a
place a safe place for like military or
for like fighters to stay but in this
case children like to build snow forts
like maybe for their snowball fights so
it’s like a wall or it’s like a base
made from snow that kids can hide in or
play in or use to guard them and
snowball fights so building a snow fort
can be a lot of fun for kids in a
sentence have you ever built a snow fort
all right so those are ten snow activity
words I hope that that was interesting
for you is there anything that you like
to do or that you did when you were a
kid in the snow in your country these
are a few things that are popular in the
USA but if there’s something that’s
interesting or popular to do in the snow
