Elf Bowling Alley

    Elf Bowling Alley

    Ten water bottles stand in a triangle at the end of the hallway, with a soft ball waiting and a scoreboard taped to the wall.

    Instructions

    1. Rinse ten empty plastic water bottles and put a little water in each so they don't tip too easily.
    2. Set them up in a triangle (4, 3, 2, 1) at the end of a hallway.
    3. Mark a starting line with a strip of tape.
    4. Put a soft ball or a rolled-up pair of socks at the line.
    5. Tape up a paper scoreboard with everyone's name.
    6. Sit the elf on top of the front pin with a note: "Bowl me over!"

    Tip: Use a soft ball so nothing gets dented.
