Floor Hockey Golf

Grade Level: K-2, 3-5

• Assign two or three players to a course. For a larger group, assign two or three players to start at each hole.
• Design a golf course by placing a numbered bowling pin (1 thru 9) in a scattered formation around the gym or play area.
• Players establish a striking order.
• If needed, give each player a scorecard and pencil.
• The game begins with each player, in turn, striking the puck toward Hole #1, trying to knock the bowling pin over or make contact with it.
• The number of shots needed to make the “Hole” is recorded.
• When finished, the group moves to Hole #2, and each player continues to strike the bowling pin in as few attempts possible.
• The objective is to finish the course by having the lowest score (that is, the fewest shot attempts).
