Players Needed: 1-4

Ages: All

Equipment: 

*1-3 Dryer balls or other soft rolling objects, tennis balls work (if you play outside you can use anything that rolls!)

*3-10 plastic bottles or wooden blocks or 3-10 objects that can fall over without breaking

*Chalk if you are outside and want to draw lanes to roll the ball

Set Up: Place the items in a staggered pyramid about 10 feet away from your rolling line. If you have more blocks you can build a lane to keep the ball from leaving the playing space! 

Gameplay: Each person will have a turn to roll a ball 3 times during their play. Once they are done they will write down how many pins are still standing in the score corner (upper right of each box per round), on your next play you will add your new number to that to get the total so far and write it in the bigger box. This is a great way to practice tossing, and using math skills to keep a game tally. If you do not want to tally you can have just as much fun without!

If you knock all the pins down at once that is considered a STRIKE! Write a big X in the score corner, this counts for however many pins you play with! You get to add the first two rolls of your next turn to the score box, write the number in little handwriting next to the X to help keep track!

If you knock all the pins on your SECOND roll you get a SPARE! Write a / in the little box and then add the first roll of your next turn to one of the sides of the line. Here is a score sheet to practice your math!
