Groups looking for an inexpensive game that can be played on a concrete floor or tiled area, while also providing loads of excitement, might enjoy Duct Tape Bowling.

Create the lane by shaping a large rectangle outlined by duct tape (50 feet by 10 feet works well). At one end of the rectangle, create a grid of various-sized squares, and assign point values to each. Individuals (or teams) then take turns bowling an object to gain points. Objects that work well include a small rubber disk, a toy with wheels, an inflated beach ball, etc. Play the game individually or as teams. More than one duct tape bowling alley can be created for larger groups.

    What is the actual “objective” of the game? How do you score points? Does the item you “bowl” down the alley have to stop in the a square with that point value to gain those points?
