Halloween parties are always so much fun and I always try and find something new and different to do for our annual party each year. This year we will be doing Pumpkin Bowling. This is a quick, easy to put together and best of all cheap party game. It cost me around $2 for all the supplies and I know that it provide hours of Halloween fun.
The best part about pumpkin bowling is that there is no right or wrong way to do it. You just take your toilet paper rolls, and draw pumpkin faces on them.
You can do any kind of face you like. And for even more fun, let the kids draw the faces on them.
Next set them up on top of each other in a triangular shape with 3 on bottom, two in the middle and one on top.
Now you’re ready to bowl. Just throw your pumpkin towards the toilet paper and see how many you can knock down in one throw. Each roll is worth one point.
I’ve shared with you one of the ways my family has fun together, now I’d love to hear from you! Share with me one of your favorite things to do during October?
Pumpkin Bowling: All you need is a pumpkin, a Sharpie, and a bag of toilet paper rolls. Draw your ghosts, set up your “bowling pins,” and bowl your pumpkin! No extra toilet paper on hand? Try using paper towel rolls.

It was especially fun to watch the youngin’s set it up, ring the doorbell and then run away faster than their little legs could carry them in hopes that they wouldn’t get caught. They really enjoyed it, thus making it a new family tradition that we will do for many Octobers to come.
It’s October, which means it’s time to really get in the spirit of all things Fall and Halloween. We started the month off right by having a fun evening of making homemade doughnuts, drinking apple cider, and what other than… pumpkin bowling!I saw the idea off of Pinterest last year and knew I had to give it a try.
