I don’t remember how exactly this game came about. It was an uneventful day when Bear {4.5} was bored beyond belief and not at all interested in playing with any of his toys. At the time, we were playing with Matchbox/
Hot Wheels cars and our Fisher-Price Little People Garage. Then the idea popped into my head….We could play bocce ball with the cars.
Hot Wheels cars and our Fisher-Price Little People Garage. Then the idea popped into my head….We could play bocce ball with the cars.We set up the Little People Garage so that the ramp was pointed towards a shelf. We each picked out 6 cars to use.
Here are the rules for car bocce ball:
-
Set up a ramp approximately 3 feet from the end mark. (ours was a shelf, but you could also use a piece of masking tape)
-
Players take turns sending their cars down the ramp, with the end mark being where their car must pass.
-
When the player’s car reaches the end mark, they receive one point.
-
Player’s cars may bump into the other’s car, sending it forward.
-
If a player #1’s car bumps and moves the other player #2’s car (or vice versa) across the end mark, the player’s car that crossed the mark gets a point.
-
If a player’s car makes the end mark in one move, they get 2 points.
-
Whoever has the most points after all cars have been played, wins that round.
