Pumpkin Bowling has been a big hit with kids in this county. You need some
pie pumpkins. Ours ranged from 17-24 inches in diameter. We cut off the
stems close to the fruit. You need some ten pins. We bought plastic ones
from Kmart since we couldn't find any others, and we up-ended them and put
about 8 ounces of water in each, then sealed the hole with cork and candle
wax. It worked! At the county Harvest Fair, there was NO CHARGE to PLAY.
There were also NO PRIZES. And they had kids lined up 8-10 deep to roll the
pumpkins down the 'lane.' At the church Harvest Fair, we gave a small toy
(choice of squirt frogs, small cars or fancy sunglasses) for knocking down
10 pins with a single roll. All others received penny candy.
Each kid's scores were recorded on file cards, and at the end of each hour a
special prize was awarded the kid with the highest total for that hour. That
encouraged even the less talented bowlers to keep plunking down their
quarters to roll. Vary this game according to your whims and the ages of the
kids to be entertained.
