Elf bowling: what it looks like

You need

  • Ten small things that stand up: travel bottles, glue sticks or toy blocks
  • A round ornament or a small ball

Set it up

  1. Set the pins up in a triangle on the floor or the table.
  2. Sit the elf a little way back.
  3. Put the ball in the elf's hands. Knock two pins over for a nice touch.
How to use it
  1. Pick tonight's idea.
  2. Type a name and your elf's name.
  3. Print the page and cut out the note and the two signs.
  4. Fold each sign on the dotted line so it stands up, and set the scene.

Print a week of ideas on Sunday and keep them in an envelope. On a night with no energy left, a new note in the same spot still counts.

Read the note 
STRIKE! Well, almost. Your turn, Emma. Bet you can't beat an elf.
