What you need

  • six toilet paper rolls
  • a rolled-up sock or a soft ball

How to set it up

  1. Stand six toilet paper rolls in a triangle at one end of a rug or a clear stretch of floor, away from hallways and stairs.
  2. Set your elf at the other end with a rolled-up sock beside them as the ball.
  3. Add the score note.

Safety check

Keep the lane out of hallways, doorways and walkways and off the stairs, so nobody trips over it at night. How we check

An elf doll sitting at one end of a living room rug beside a rolled sock, with six toilet paper rolls standing upright in a triangle like bowling pins at the other end.

Note from your elf: Bowling night! I knocked down five. Can you get all six?
