Bowling remains a popular family pastime. From bowling bingo to relay races, playing games at the alley will help you make new memories with your kids. All Star Lanes & Banquets in La Crosse, WI, wants you to know more about bowling games that are fantastic for families. Below, they list a few to try out at the lanes. 

A Bowling Guide for Family-Friendly Games 

1. Bingo

Bingo bowling is the perfect way to put a modern spin on two classic games. Create and print bingo cards that include spaces for strikes, spares, and even gutter balls, and have your kids mark off the spaces as the game progresses. Another cool aspect of bowling bingo is that it makes it possible to have multiple champions in one game.

2. Silly Bowling

A game of silly bowling is great for making the game more fun and less competitive. With goofing bowling, you’ll decide on a different way for everyone in your family to roll the ball with each frame. For instance, you may have a round of backward bowling where you roll the ball between your legs. 

3. Relay Races

Bowling relay races will require you to reserve two lanes at the bowling alley. You’ll start with two teams, each rolling their ball down the aisle at the same time. As soon as the ball returns, the next person on each team will send it down the aisle. The goal is not to score points but to simply see which team can finish rolling their balls down the aisle first.

4. Tag Team

For tag team bowling, you will also need two aisles. Start by dividing your family members into groups of two. Allow each group to decide who will bowl first or second. This will provide each team with equal footing, since both players on the team will bowl in each frame. Whoever wins the frame will challenge the next team until there is a final winner.
