Bowling Birthday Party Ideas
Our Super Value Party Packs
 Bowling parties are perfect for kids of
almost all ages. The atmosphere of a bowling alley makes kids (and adults)
silly and giddy. Kids also love wearing someone else's shoes. It's like
playing dress-up too! Besides our
great party packs, we
have a list of other theme ideas to make your bowling party special.
Tips: Make sure your alley has bumpers so the kids do
not throw 'gutterballs'. If there an arcade at your bowling alley, buy tokens
ahead of time or bring a big stack of quarters for your guests.
Great Party Games
- Bowl backwards
- Bowl through the birthday child's legs
- Do a silly walk as you approach the lane
- Bowl with your other hand
- Bowl in slow motion
- Bowl with your eyes closed
- Predict whether you will knock over an odd or even number of pins
- Have others predict how many pins each player will knock down
For younger kids, consider the following -- between the time you release
the bowling ball and the time it hits the pins have the turn-waiting kids:
- count as high as they can, as fast as they can
- recite the alphabet as many times as possible
- have the speed-sing as much of a song as they can
- spell out loud the birthday child's name
- call out as many ice-cream flavors/kinds of candy as they can think of
Each bowler should then try to top the record.
