  • Sledge ride - players have to hold the Wii Remote in a vertical position and move it up and down to gather speed. The goal is to collect gifts lost by a bunny.
  • Playing on icicles - 5 icicles are visible on the screen and 5 buttons on the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk are associated with them. The player's task is to repeat a heard melody as precisely as possible.
  • Fishing - players have to swing the Wii Remote or the Nunchuk and push a button displayed above a fish to catch it. Otherwise, a fish will escape.
  • Bunny chase - players have to wave the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk to catch a bunny running in front of players. Players need to jump to evade beams on a road or push the B and the Z buttons at the same time to slide under a branch.
  • Making a snowman - players have to use the Nunchuk stick to move left or right and perform gestures or to push a presented button in order to make a snowman.
  • Running up a hill - players have to wave the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk to run and to move it left/right to evade snowballs. When crashing with a frozen snowball, a teddy bear loses points.
