Pumpkin Bowling Halloween Party Game

This is a great game for your Halloween party because you can never tell where the little Pumpkins will roll!

For a Kids Halloween Party, get the miniature pumpkins to fit their little hands.  For adults, I’d go with the small pie pumpkins or you might lose a lamp or two!

What you will need:

• 3 small Pumpkins
• 10 empty 2 liter bottles – labels removed
• White spray paint
• Black permanent marker
• Sand or gravel (to weight the bottles)

Preparing the “Pins”

• Rinse out the bottles and remove labels
• Spray paint the bottles with the white paint
• Draw Ghostly faces on the bottles with the permanent marker
• Put a cup or 2 of sand or gravel in each bottle so they’ll stand without falling over

How To Play

• Arrange “Pins” in a Bowling Alley Formation -
  • Back row has 4 pins
  • Next row has 3 pins
  • Next row has 2 pins
  • One pin in front
• Roll the Pumpkin Bowling Balls at the Pins and try for a Strike!

Variations:

• If you have more time, paint the “Pins” to resemble different monsters – zombies, vampires, ghouls, etc.
• Paint the bottles with a Glo Paint and play in the dark!

Let the fun begin!

Award prizes for strikes and spares, or give them a prize if they manage to just knock down one “Pin”!
