easy craft/group activity for kindergarteners

ready2go

I need to do a craft or activity with dd's kindergarten class next week.  any EASY but fun ideas?  I've seen a few good snowman ones online but I think they've done enough snowmen this year already...trying to find something different!

bingo is usually pretty easy with them.  maybe winter bingo?

Maybe something with mittens?  Have them match mittens.  Clip matches on a clothesline with clothes pins.  Lace mittens.  Make a mitten memory game for them to play.

Or do snow/ice experiments- bring in a block of ice and have them try different ways to melt it (put salt on it, sand on it, water, etc); fill a dish with snow and another with water, weigh them and then let the snow melt to see why it weighs less than the same amount of water; bundle them up and take them outside to paint in the snow (fill spray bottles with colored water and let them go to town).

Make snowflakes with white pipe cleaners and beads.

How about igloos made from styrofoam bowls glued onto a paper plate covered with cotton balls?  My 1st graders did that activity with our kindergarteners last week.
