Hi i hope i can help

well...

1.were not ust to ice or skates so we slip!

2.the friction of the ice with are feet make it slippy for use to do whatever we want on it

3. When you are walking you are pushing the ground and the ground itself is also exerting a pressure on you. so the reaction is you are moving forward. and also another force is also working there which is friction. friction is providing you with grip so you are able to walk. now combine both the ideas above and visualize, you are exerting pressure on the ground and there is also friction, both these forces are acting at the same time and you are able to walk Now, on a sheet of ice, you are applying force just like you did on ground, but due to lack of friction, you tend to and you do slip

so in a less science way its because of less friction!

hope i helped :D
