Explain the rules of the game in simple terms. Explain to your child that he has two rolls in each frame and that the goal is to knock down all the pins. In addition, teach your child to wait for his turn to roll. You may need to remind him when it's his turn.
Many bowling centers have private rooms for parties. A bowling party package likely includes several hours of bowling, snacks and other recreation. You can also give a reward to the best bowler at the party.
If your child is a toddler, you can take her to the bowling center and let him just push the ball around. Four- and 5-year-olds can bowl with their parents or grandparents and can participate in bumper leagues. These leagues, in which the gutters of the lanes are filled with blow-up bumpers to make the game easier, are for ages 3 to 6. Children in bumper leagues generally bowl no more than two games on a given day.
When bowling with your children, keep an eye on them. To avoid injury, remind them to watch out for balls rolling out of the ball return, and caution them not to stick their fingers, head or hands in the return.
