Before playing "bumper cars," all participants must be able to do a dip and be able to move forward on the ice. In a dip, the skater skates forward on two feet and squats down as far as possible.
To play, have the skaters skate as fast as they can in a small area. Then, tell the children to "sit in their cars." (That is when they should squat down into a dip position.)
Mimic turning a steering wheel with your hands and arms. Tell the children to begin to drive. Make beeping and honking sounds.
Curve to the left or right. As you approach another skater almost head on, curve quickly out of the way. Pretend to shriek and scream as you get near a skater. Don't really knock anyone over!
