Materials needed: [one frozen spoon (placed in the freezer the night before), tied to a long piece of string or twine, depending on the number of participants (allow 1 m per person)] x number of teams
Participants are divided into 2 teams (between 4 and 12 members). Team members line up shoulder to shoulder in 2 parallel lines. The spoons with the ribbon or string wrapped around them are handed out to the teams. At the start, the task is to pass the “frozen” spoon under the clothes (shirt and pants) of all participants and back, then hand off the spoon with the ribbon or string wrapped around it exactly as they received it. All in record time. The team that finishes first wins.
An excellent icebreaker game.

Participants line up at a distance of approximately 3–6 meters from the leader.
The leader will stand with their back to the participants.
At the start, participants try to move as quietly and smoothly as possible so that the leader cannot hear them. The goal is to reach the leader and take their place. From time to time, unexpectedly, the leader will give the command “freeze” and turn around. This is the moment when the participants must freeze. If the leader spots someone who has moved, that person will be asked to return to where they started.
The person who reaches the front first will take the leader’s place, and the game will resume.
No materials are needed.
Isolated snowflakes drift silently through the bare trees; otherwise, there is silence. The snow swallows up all sound. The sun is reflected a thousand times in the snow. Here and there, you can make out animal tracks.
