Beach bowling rules

This beach game will offer the kids plenty of fun. Place the beach specific bowling bottle a certain distance away from the kids and let them knock down the bowling bottle with the ball. The score will be calculated based on the number of bowling bottles knocked down.

Variation

Place the bowling bottles randomly instead of concentrating them in one place so that kids learn to use more or less force to adjust their throws. Vary distances and assign points to each hole based on difficulty.

You can ask them to throw the ball while doing something at the same time that will give them extra stress, such as throwing the ball while standing on one foot, with one arm in the air, or with their backs to the holes, bending down to look between their legs, and aiming head down.

There are plenty of possibilities to make the game even more fun.
