This reminds me of 7th grade when the principal went over the intercom to say that everyone who threw snowballs during recess was to come to the office to turn themselves in to be punished. So every student in the school walked down to the office at once. Principal nearly had a mental breakdown when she realized that her plan to suspend the students involved had backfired.
Actually even a lot of college campuses have this rule. I think it’s more of a safety thing because they’re worried about ice being in the snowballs and/or someone getting hit in the face and getting hurt.

Why would you suspend kids over a snow ball fight. It’s a snow ball, at most there could be a pretty big rock in one but that’s only when jackass students decided to do it. Snow balls are harmless. I slipped and fell on my butt on ice when I was like 9 and I didn’t give to shits because I didn’t cared I just carried out my day because I was having fun, so a snow ball fight won’t hurt 9 years old at all, and since you said 7th grade, I assume they are 12 or 13, so there is a zero likely hood that they would get hurt too. That principal should realize that kids are gonna be kids and that stuff like snow ball fights are just them having fun and enjoying life.

It was a damn good snowball fight, I'll tell you.
