Product Information

Sleeping in a tent out in the open, listening to all the curious noises of nature at night, looking at the stars and telling stories by the campfire. You can do all that, including the smores in your own garden, so why not? In a game of winning ends – victory decision goes to the side with the majority of winning ends. Other games – victory decision goes to the side with the highest total of shots. Time to show the kids what our childhood was like! You must have some marbles lying around and if you don’t, they’re pretty easy to find online. Once you start the demo though, you might find it hard to leave the game; we won’t be surprised if you end up playing with the kids for a while. As with most DIY projects, the key lies in the planning. Sounds tedious, but perfecting the design before you start construction will prevent problems down the line.

It’s about to get foamy!The game concludes when 21 ends have been played, the team with the highest score being the winners. Movement of Bowls The bowl is placed in the palm of the hand, the middle fingers being spread out under the bowl. The thumb and little finger provide additional support for the bowl, the little finger being level with the bottom of the disc, the thumb over the top, or a little above, the large disc. The bowl is not held tightly, but gripped enough to prevent it slipping at the moment it is delivered from the hand. Cradle Grip Water wars must be one of the most popular garden games of all time. When the sun’s out and you don’t mind the kids getting wet, it’s guaranteed splash-tastic fun. You don’t have to have special water guns either, a make-shift plastic bottle water gun or even the garden hose can do the job. There’s something so mischievous about popping water balloons that kids just can’t get enough of it. Just fill in your water balloons, go up to your bedroom, drop them out of the window in the garden, and watch the big splash. Make sure no one’s standing in the garden before you throw though! The duties undertaken by the second man consist of keeping a record of all shots scored for and against his side. He records the names of the players on the score card, and after each end he compares his record of the game with that of the opposing second player. At the close of the game he hands the score card to the skip.

Never fail to test the green before beginning play – send down two or three bowls from each end to establish the drawing qualities in both directions and on both sides. Twinkl Kids TV or Twinkl Parents have many educational videos on various aspects of the school curriculum.

To allow all the bowls to come finally to rest, up to half a minute, after the last bowl has stopped running, may be claimed by either side before counting the shots. Here’s another garden activity to get the imagination going. Lie down on the grass, side by side with your mini explorers and look at the clouds in the sky. Elephant? Dragon? Smiley face? What will you see? Draw a grid on the patio with chalk, or collect twigs and branches to build your own, then find things hidden around the garden to be your game pieces, just like this nature noughts and crosses! Does your garden fence need repainting? Taking inspiration from Mark Twain’s classic, Tom Sawyer, we suggest handing your little ones the paint brush and letting them have fun with adding a new colourful layer. Composition bowls are unaffected by temperature changes; lignum vitae bowls, having lost their polish, lose weight on exposure to the sun. Lignum vitae bowls are generally more responsive to bias than composition bowls, and are less affected by heavy greens.

Should play be interrupted due to darkness, weather, or a similar reason, it is resumed with the scores as they were when play was stopped, an uncompleted end being declared null. Persons not playing in the game must remain beyond the limits of the rink and clear of the verges. They must preserve an attitude of neutrality and are not allowed to disturb or advise the players. Objects on the green Definitely not for eating, this garden soup activity is a real concoction! The first step is to collect your ‘ingredients’, think flowers, leaves and grass, before mixing all together in a big bowl of water (a washing up bowl works well!). Use utensils to stir and keep adding new things to see how your soup changes, you could even add some food colouring if you like.In a team game where not more than one player is absent from either side after a period of thirty minutes, the game proceeds. In the defaulting side or four, the number of bowls is made up by the lead and second players each playing three bowls. One fourth of the score made by the defaulting side or four is deducted at the end of the game. The sun is out, but it won’t be with us forever. So gather your picnic gear, bust out the water toys, and get ready to turn your lawn into your neighborhood’s HQ for fun. He shall measure carefully all doubtful shots when requested by either player. If unable to come to a decision satisfactory to the players, he shall call in an umpire. If an official umpire has not been appointed, the marker shall select one. The decision of the umpire shall be final.

There is something nostalgic about going bowling. The feeling of excitement when you take that first step forward to line up your shot, the distant sound of pins clattering as someone hits a strike - or simply that brief moment of quiet contemplation when lacing up your bowling shoes before the game. It's crystal clear - bowling is all about having a good time. We’ve included all-time family favorites and new cult favorites; some are perfect for taking on the road with you, while others are better off staying put for the summer, on display in your lawn. You need just three people and a ball to play. Two people pass the ball to each other and the person in the middle tries to catch it. If they do, the person who last threw goes in the middle. You can play with a whole tribe of little monkeys in the middle if you’d like – it’s even more fun with more players!

Players not in possession of the rink must not interfere with their opponents, distract their attention, or in any way annoy them. Hand your little ones a phone or a camera and task them with becoming a nature photographer for a day. What will they capture today: a squirrel visiting the garden, a snail making its way through the grass or daddy taking a nap on the patio? Feel free to share your funniest snaps with us on social media! Get a giant piece of cardboard and a range of coloured paints, and let your little artists run wild. Because it’s outdoors, there’s less worry about the mess – just make sure your kids aren’t wearing anything you don’t mind getting dirty! A player shall not be allowed to change his bowls during the course of a game, or in a resumed game, unless they be objected to, as provided in LAW II 3(c) of the Laws Of The Game, or when a bowl has been so damaged in the course of play as, in the opinion on the umpire, to render the bowl (or bowls) unfit to play.
