Try your hand at ten-pin bowling - free and online

October 17th, 2007

With half-term on the horizon, many people will be thinking of things to do with the children. Having recently tried ten-pin bowling with my kids - and quickly learned a few things:

• small children trying to pick up heavy bowling balls can be dangerous - mind those toes!
• you really do need to get the side rails up so their bowling balls don’t all slide off to the side
• it might be more diplomatic to let your children win, but its hard to resist the opportunity to smack all the pins down!
• it can be quite expensive unless you take your children during school-term time and in fact during school-time too

To remedy this expense aspect I have recently been playing on a free online ten-pin bowling game - and I think it is almost as good as the real bowling experience itself. Just follow the link below and see what score you can get - you’ll have to top 149 to beat the best score round these parts, but I would say anything over 100 is okay.

Worth noting that this game has proved to be a big hit in my household with everyone aged 3 to 30+ all enjoying it. Easy to play, totally free, great fun and ideal in case it gets a bit too wet and cold to go out over half-term.

Fee l free to let us know the best score you can get - and if you can beat 149 then send in a screen grab and we’ll post it up and honour you!
