KNOCK “EM DOWN!

• The children work in groups of 4.
• Each child builds a skittle for a game.
• Find a space to line your group’s skittles up, or
arrange them in a special way.
• Each group has their own ball; take turns in the
group to roll the ball from a certain distance, to
knock the skittles down.
• The children can work out their own rules and
scoring for the game.

Examples:
• Each colour skittle could have a certain value
attached to it; individuals could tally their score
according to the skittles they manage to knock
down on their turn.
• Or, if you knock down all the skittles, you score
4 points; if you only knock down one skittle, you
score one point, etc.

TUNNELS

• The children work with a partner. Between them,
they must build two tunnels - they could be
different sizes.
• Now join up with another couple to have a game,
using the four tunnels.
• The tunnels are placed at the end of a space.
• Each group of four has 4 marbles. Children take
turns to roll their marble through a tunnel, to score
a point.
• Children can come up with their own ideas for how
the game should be played.

Examples:
• The tunnels could have a value attached to
them, and children score that number if
they get their marble through.
• Children could call out which tunnel they
are aiming for, if the marble goes through
one of the other tunnels, they lose points, etc.
• Children pick a number out of a jar - they
must try to score that number by rolling
their marble through the appropriate tunnels.
