Soda Bottle Bowling Pins

Uses

• Soda bottles make for an easy and cheap alternative to regular bowling pins when practicing the underhand roll.
• Collect these as you use them, or ask friends and family for donations.
• When bowling, ensure the learner is practicing the correct skills, steps and cues to the underhand roll.

Construction Materials

• 5-10 plastic bottles (all same size)
• Anything needed to decorate the bottles how you'd like
• Sand or water to weight bottles down (if necessary)

Instructions for Construction

1. Collect bottles and decorate however you'd like!
   • Do NOT have to use 10 pins as usual.
   • Use with any size ball that's most appropriate and comfortable to the leaner. Try your best to use a ball that they are able to roll with one hand, to really practice the skill of underhand rolling.

Modifications of Equipment

• Modify and/or decorate bottles how you see fit. Choose something that will excite and motivate the learner. (Favorite movie, color, etc.)
• Insert glow sticks into the bottles to play in the dark or to assist learners with a visual impairment.
• Add bells or another source of sound to assist learners with a visual impairment.
• Teach the learner how to set up pins by placing tape or stickers where each bottle should be placed.
