  1. Are you referring to a videogame about ice skating (I believe there's a game on the Wii)?

    Figure ice skating isn't a "game" like soccer or hockey.

    As for doing it for real, just put on the boots and slide your legs, don't walk on the ice.


  2. I think you are meaning to say you just want to learn to skate!

    Make sure your skates fit well.  They should be snug with your heel all the way to the back of the boot - with just enough room to wiggle your toes in front.  

    Keep good posture - keep your chin up - keep your arms out in front at 10:10 or 2:50 (like clockhands) for balance - and always keep your knees slightly bent.  

    Go on the ice and do some marches in place.  Once you feel confident, put one foot at an angle and push back onto to the ice as the other glides to get you skating forward.  Many first timers tend to do a walk or run on the ice like you mentioned, but keeping the blade on the ice and pushing on the ice with the blade at an angle is what gets you gliding to actually "skate".      

    The best thing to do is just go out there and try it!  Here are some beginner instructions online.  It's hard to learn skating just by reading, but at least I think this is what you are asking.
