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!
Make Bowling Party Invitations using Bowling Stationary or make a clever invitation using empty CD envelopes and black card stock inside addressed and decorated with a white gel pen. Use a headlines like:
"In your SPARE time come to my party"
Use black balloons as bowling ball decorations and add 3 white round stickers to represent finger holes.
Give each child a bowling pen and let them keep their own score.
And of course you will want to keep a scrapbook of your child's party!

- 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.
