New Way to Make Use of Those Leftover Pumpkins

Recycling is not a new trend, but using your unused, unwanted leftover pumpkins for games is. Kids and adults alike can see the folly in getting some additional use out of those pumpkins that have not been made into pie, soup or jack o lanterns. So, let me share with you the one that my family just chose as their new favourite garden game, pumpkin bowling.

All you need are a set of those kiddie plastic bowling pins, your remaining small pumpkins, and some prizes. If you do not have those toy pins, and are not sure you will enjoy the game enough to invest in some, two litre bottles work as a replacement for the pins.

Place the pins in the traditional configuration, declare a line for rolling the pumpkins, and set some rules for scoring points. No need to let on that you got the idea for this elsewhere, play it off as though you came up with it on the spur of the moment if you like. It is guaranteed fun.
