Hey fellow parents and caregivers,
I’ve stumbled upon something utterly fantastic game that I couldn’t wait to share with you all. Picture this: a rainy afternoon, kids bouncing off the walls with pent-up energy, and you, desperately trying to come up with a way to keep them entertained. I’ve been there, and I’m sure you have too. Then it struck me – why not transform our livingroom floor into a bowling alley using nothing but tile magnets?
I know what you’re thinking – tile magnets for bowling? Bear with me because this simple DIY activity turned out to be an absolute game-changer.
Here’s how we did it:
Step 1: Gather your supplies:
- Tile magnets: These will serve as your pins. You can find these on Amazon! https://amzn.to/3wOv6nj
- Plastic balls – these will serve as your bowling ball. https://amzn.to/43lyGl5
- Painter’s tape: Use painter’s tape to mark out your bowling lane on the floor. Feel free to get creative with zigzags, loops, or any other design that tickles (optional) https://amzn.to/49MrPDP
Step 2: Set up your bowling alley:
Once you’ve gathered your supplies, it’s time to set up your makeshift bowling alley. Arrange the tile magnets at one end of the lane, spacing them out evenly like traditional bowling pins, or just get creative. Use the painter’s tape to mark the foul line.
Step 3: Let the games begin:
Now for the fun part – bowling! Encourage your kids to take turns rolling the ball down the lane, aiming to knock down as many tile magnets as possible with each throw. You’ll be amazed at how quickly they get the hang of it and how competitive the spirit becomes.
Step 4: Get creative:
Feel free to mix things up and add some extra challenges to your game. You can assign different point values to each pin based on its color or size, or even introduce obstacles like cushions or pillows to make the game more challenging. The possibilities are endless!
So, the next time you find yourself stuck indoors on a rainy day, don’t fret – grab some tile magnets, set up your own bowling alley, and let the good times roll!
Until next time,
