To begin this activity, we brainstormed as a class what it would be like to live inside of a snow globe. Students had many excellent ideas on what it would feel like, what they would see, and what they would like to do inside of a snow globe. Students stated they would feel the cold snow on their faces or they would feel another child shaking the snow globe; they would see gingerbread houses or many different types of snowmen; they would build snowmen or gather around a nice warm fire. Students then wrote down their ideas for each of the topics on a foldable which they would later glue onto their snow globe.
After writing down their thoughts, students then drew what they had imagined their snow globe would be like onto their paper snow globe The students took their time in adding many colors and, of course, glitter to their snow globe to really make it sparkle! After putting all of these things together, they had a beautiful snow globe which describes, in detail, what the inside of their snow globe would be like. These snow globes are now displayed on a bulletin board in our classroom. Feel free to come on out and see our beautiful snow globes!
