After a heavy snowfall, children play in the snow. They build snow houses, make snowmen and have snowball fights. People also enjoy skiing, skating, and sledding in winter.

Because winter is so cold, people have to find ways to keep warm. People wear heavy coats, scarfs for their necks, gloves for their hands, and boots on their feet.
