GAME 1
Field bowling
Materials: 2-4 coconut shell, 6-10 1.5L bottles filled with water. Arranged in 2 rows
Participants: 2 participants from each team (total of 8 participants)
Cost: None
Rules:
1. 1.5 liter soda bottles create the bowling pins and a real coconut serves as the ball. A
small amount of water or sand in the bottom of each soda bottle gives the pins some
weight so they don't tip over as easily. Because of its shape, the coconut will roll in
different directions, adding a challenge.
2. The ball must be rolled from the mid field and cross the pink line. You can't throw the
coconut directly, it won't be counted if you don't follow the rules.
3. Each team will send 2 participants and each person can have only 1 try.
4. Team who knocked down most pins wins 10 points!
