Running out of activities for the family while stuck at home? The Old Farmer’s Almanac for Kids, Volume 8 shares a few simple outdoor games that don’t require any fancy equipment. Here is one to try today!
Let the Games Begin!
NINE PINS
This is just like bowling, but you don’t have to wear special shoes!
YOU WILL NEED:
- 9 empty 1-liter plastic bottles
- A ball that’s smaller than the bottles
- As many players as you like
GET READY…
Set up the bottles in a diamond formation (1-2-3-2-1) on a smooth, flat surface, with one point facing the bowler.
GET SET…
Have the bowler back up to an agreed distance (which can be adjusted for younger bowlers).
GO!
Roll or toss the ball at the bottles, trying to knock down as many as you can! The one who knocks down the most bottles wins. Reset the bottles for another round after each bowler’s turn. Add up how many bottles each person has knocked over. Stop after 10 rounds and add up every bowler’s score.
