Bowling Fun
Back to Articles
Everyone’s a winner when you set up this back yard bowling game.
Using a playground ball to knock down the pins is great outdoor fun and a wonderful way to stay fit!
Ages: Adults and kids 6 and up
Duration: Over one hour
WHAT YOU NEED
10 - bottles
Paint pens: red, blue, green, purple and orange
1 package of rubber bands
White rice
Rubber playground ball
HOW TO DO IT
Wash, dry and remove the labels from 10 bottles.
Place one rubber band around bottle, three inches from the bottom.
Place another rubber band around the bottle, two inches from the top, then another one inch from the top.
The rubber bands will form the "lines" that you paint between.
Use a red paint pen to color in the area of the bottle below the lowest rubber band.
Let it dry, about 30 minutes. Color in the area between the two top rubber bands with the red paint pen, let dry for 30 minutes.
When completely dry, you can remove the rubber bands.
Fill the bottle with white rice. Then put the lid on tight.
Do the same for each bottle. Be sure to make two bottles of each color.
HOW TO PLAY
Set up the ten bottles in a triangle pattern.
Using a rubber playground ball, stand 4 to 6 feet away from the bottles. Younger players can stand closer.
Take turns rolling the ball to try and knock over the bottles. Let each player have 5 turns.
The player who knocks over the most pins is the winner!
TIPS
If the weather is rainy, set the bowling game up in the garage, covered patio or at the end of a hallway in the house.
