Chilly, snowy days are calling your kids outdoors. Find fun winter activities for the slopes, trails, ice rink, and backyard for children of all ages. Remember to brush up on winter sports safety. Have the hot cocoa ready when everyone comes back inside!

Here are few different ways to have fun outside in the winter:

Sledding! – jazda na sankach

There’s nothing better than gliding through the cool air on a sled. Find a good hill and grab your tube, toboggan, or saucer for hours of entertainment. Sledding is fun for all ages!

Skiing! – jazda na nartach

Downhill and cross-country skiing (narciarstwo i narciarstwo biegowe) are family favorites during the winter months. Some children start skiing as young as age 2 or 3!

Snow Angels! – aniołki śniegowe

Fluffy snow (puszysty śnieg)? Check. Snow suit (kombinezon śniegowy)? Check. That’s all the gear kids of any age need to lie down and create a snow angel just like they would do a jumping jack.

Ice skating! – jazda na łyżwach

This slippery activity will be tricky for newcomers. But once they get the hang of it, they might get addicted. Age 4 or 5 is a nice time to begin skating or take lessons. Most children wear figure skates or hockey skates to start out. After they get more into skating, they can try the sports of speed skating, ice dancing, figure skating, or hockey (łyżwiartswo szybkie, taniec na lodzie, łyżwiarstwo figurowe albo hokej).

Building a snowman! – budowanie bałwana

Babies and big kids alike will love to make a snowman in the yard, especially around the holidays. After stacking a few big snowballs to make the body, kids can use their imagination to find fruits, vegetables, sticks, berries, clothes, and other materials to bring their snowman to life.
