Set up a single “bowling alley” in your room. This can be as simple as using masking tape lines for gutters. Then set up empty (or full, if you’re brave) two-liter soda bottles for bowling pins. If you want Halloween colors, use orange soda, and a cola, and tear the labels off. Test out a few pumpkins and select a few good rollers.
Depending on the size of your group, either select a few “bowlers” or line up your whole group. (If you line up your group, line them up along the edge of the alley so they can see). With fewer bowlers, allow several tries. With a large group, allow one each.
Hand them a pumpkin and let er’ rip! Have a few staff people be pumpkin fetchers to keep the game moving along. Provide a prize for the best bowler (do a play-off if needed).
