Activity description:​

• Line up the colored toilet paper rolls or mugs that you have prepped. You should have one in each color of the day and have the name of the color written on the mug, with masking tape. 
• Line them up like bowling pins a few meters away. 
• Ask the children to get in a line. 
• Each child gets to roll the ball on their own turn and try to hit the” bowling pins”. When a child hits a pin, they can take it with them and go to the end of the line.  Each child can try for as long as they hit a pin and their parent can help then along the way.  
• Get the children to say the color of the pin they hit and encourage everyone to repeat. 
• Once all the pins have been bowled, ask one child with a RED pin to come to the front and everyone says the color together.   
• Ask the child what color they want next and then tell them to go get a friend who has that color pin and get them to come to the front (use the words of the day here GO – COME) 
• After this get the two children to hold hands and get the next child, and so forth until all the children have joined the chain.
