BOWL BALL

Get Ready: 6 Bowls, 1 Sock Ball, Paper & Pencil to Tally Score  

Get Set: Set the bowls on the floor in a triangle pattern 3-4 inches apart. Put a piece of paper with the point total in the bottom of each bowl. Mark a throwing line 6-8 ft. away.

Hint: Big bowls are easier than small bowls!

GO!

  • The object of the game is to see how many points you can score in 1-minute.
  • You do this by tossing the sock ball into the bowls and scoring points based upon where they land.
  • After each throw, retrieve the sock ball and hustle back and throw again.
  • If the sock lands in a bowl, use the pencil and paper to tally the points for that bowl.
  • After 1-minute, calculate your tally and write your total number of points on the official Field Day Score Card.
