Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Halloween party
• A large carved pumpkin
• A small pumpkin for each player
• A flat surface

1. Find a flat surface to play this game; either indoors or on grass that's cut shortly.

3. Place the large pumpkin approximately fifteen to twenty feet away.

4. Line up the children who are playing side by side on the start line. Give each a small pumpkin. Sugar pumpkins are perfect because they are the right size and a nice round shape for rolling.

Tips & Warnings

• How far away you place the large pumpkin depends upon the players' ages. If you have a mixed lot of kids, you should let the smaller ones stand closer.
• There are no throwing pumpkins in Pumpkin Bocce. A thrown pumpkin is a smashed pumpkin.
• Don't put a candle inside the carved pumpkin. If it gets hit with one of the smaller pumpkins it could fall over and start a fire.
