We are always looking for fun physical activities to do as a family, and bowling is a sport we love to do together, especially on a cold or rainy night. My daughters {4 and 6} enjoying going on special daddy-daughter date nights to bowl, and I love getting use out of my super sweet purple bowling shoes {worth the investment, people}!
The only bummer is that as a family of five, bowling can get really pricey for us, which is why I am a huge fan of the Kids Bowl Free program. If you aren’t familiar, it’s a program where kids under the age of 12 can get two free games of bowling per day all summer long {shoe rental is not included}.
Bowling helps kids with visual motor planning and it involves heavy work, which provides great input. It’s great for ALL kids, but especially those with sensory issues like my preschooler. She loves it! It also provides plenty of great opportunities to learn patience, another thing we are always working on here.
The 2017 summer registration is now open. The program runs from May 1 – September 4, 2017.
How To Register for Kids Bowl Free
- Go to Kids Bowl Free and pick your state.
- Select your nearest bowling alley from a list of participants (they are listed by city). Local readers: There are more than 75+ Michigan alleys listed.
- Fill out the registration form.
- You’re all set! You will receive a weekly email with your coupons at the start of each week.
- Present your phone or printed version of the coupon at the alley where you are registered. (FYI – You may start getting emails from the bowling alley about upcoming programs, otherwise, the organization promises to not sell emails.)
Another thing to consider is adding a family pass, which is $26.95 for two people and allows for parents to get the same deal — two games per time. You can also just buy a 1-person add-on, or even up to 3 or four so grandparents can get in on the fun as well. {Tip: Save 20% off the Family Pass with code Refer20}
These savings can add up really quickly for a larger family, especially if you go a few times each month. For our family, I love having a little more budget for bowling alley pizza 😉
Sign up early and take advantage of the great savings. Have fun!
