Santa’s skittles

Equipment: Used plastic bottles (6 per team), filled with water or sand; old tights cut into legs only; tennis balls

 

 

 

Space: Hall or similar long space

How To Play: Put a tennis ball into the leg of the tights (1 per team). Place the skittles in a skittle formation (triangular) in front of each team. Divide players into teams. Mark a starting line behind which all players stand, about 5m from the skittles.

The first player puts the open end of the tights over the top of his or her head like a hat, runs to the skittles and tries to knock down 1 or more skittles by swinging the end of the tights with his/her head only. Hands must not be used. If he/she hits or misses the skittles, he/she runs back to his/her team and passes the tights to the next player. Play continues with the winning team being the first one to knock all their skittles over.
