Snowman Tag
Overview
This game of tag is loosely based on the book "Snowmen at Night." Friendly little snowmen run around until the sun comes out to melt them. The best part of this game is watching each snowman's different melting style!

How to Play
1. The sun runs around trying to "melt" (tag) the snowmen.
2. When they are tagged by the sun, they have to melt into a puddle. How the snowmen melt is half the fun of this game! They can be as silly and creative as they like!
3. Play continues for a timed period, or until all the snowmen melt (if it's a small group).
4. Then a new sun is selected and the game repeats.
