You’ll
need:
Several
“putters” - bats, hockey sticks, croquet
mallets, old golf clubs or anything that will hit a
golf ball along a “course”
Golf
balls
Tin
cans, washed and lids removed
Popsicle
sticks
Duct
tape or sidewalk chalk
Items
to create obstacles on the course such as scraps of
wood, pillows, cardboard boxes, bricks, rocks, potted
plants, lawn furniture, stuffed animals, or other interesting
items found in the garage or attic
Scorecards
and small pencils
Set
up and play:
Draw
a design of your “course”. Decide how many
“holes” you want to include. Include details
about tricky obstacles such as bridges, tunnels, hills,
corners, or hidden holes on your map.
Make
scorecards that can include up to four players (rows)
and the number of “holes” (columns).
Leave
spaces for the players to write in their names on the
left.

Set
up the course using items you have collected from around
the house or neighborhood. Use the cans for the “holes,”
placing each can on its side and supporting it with
Popsicle sticks to prevent rolling.
Players
can play two, three, or four at a time. Each player
keeps count of the number of hits it takes to get the
golf ball into each “hole.” They write the
number of hits it took for each hole on their scorecards.
At
the end of the last hole, players add up their scores
per hole for a grand total. The player with the LOWEST
total receives a prize.
Note:
To keep the game going, when one group has completed
the first hole and moved on to the second hole, the
next group can begin playing on the first hole.
