5 - STAND UP SKITTLE

Popular, simple, fun game where team players compete to be the first to stand their skittle upright with their feet.

Equipment:

  • Lightweight skittle for each team.

  • Chair for each team.

  • Scoreboard & pen.

  • Team markers.

How to play:

Each team will need to be supervised by a competent adult / team leader

Ask team leaders to line their players up behind their team marker and number them - 1,2,3,4,5… front to back (if one of the teams are down on a player compared with others, someone will need two numbers so that they can go twice to cover the shortage of a player).
Place a chair opposite each team a few metres away with a skittle positioned flat on the floor in front of it. To start the game the leader calls out a number upon which that team player runs to the front, sits on their chair and seeks to be the first to stand the skittle upright using their feet. First team player with the skittle standing upright wins the point.

The number called can be random and not consecutive. The random number adds to the fun and keeps the teams on their toes as the players await the call of their number.
