Description: Bringing residents together by playing bowling in the hallway. Bowling set was a kid's plastic toy easily found at K-marts. Community developer.

Instructions_Things_Needed: Prizes if you wish. Plastic Bowling set. Tape for the starting line.

Other Considerations: Making sure the plastic pins are set up right so the ball can hit the pins (it's plastic, doesn't move so fast). Have supervision over the residents  fooling around could result in damage to hallway (fire sprinklers).

Description: This program works well in buildings with long narrow hallways.  Basicly what it is is regular bowling in a long hallway. The pins are smaller and plastic and the balls are also smaller and made of plastic.

Instructions_Things_Needed: You will need a set of pins plastic preferable (non-destructive.  Balls usually comes with the set.  Line up the pins at one end of the hall and have students roll the balls at the pins.  Have students in groups or individuals and keep score.  We scored each player on the number of pins they knocked down on each roll (2 per round).

Other Considerations: You may keep score as you please.  We also gave out prizes to our winners and participants.
