While bowling may seem like a single person, competitive activity, it is also great for team building. Bowling is a great way to create trust and put a team effort towards winning an activity. In addition to the standard game of bowling, there are also different games that can be played while bowling to get people to work together.
Reasons Why Bowling is Great for Teams
There are many reasons why bowling is the ideal activity for building teams. It is a great way to relax, unwind, and have fun and is something that everyone is able to participate in regardless of skill level. Bowling creates a positive environment that encourages teams to build interpersonal relationships that can translate back to work in the office. This is a “no pressure” atmosphere where people can focus on getting to know each other while having fun.
Team-building Bowling Games
There are many bowling games that can be played to foster teamwork. Here are a few that we recommend at our locations.
Wacky Bowling
This game involves trying out a new bowling trick each frame. Bowl left-handed, granny style, or other wacky ways to loosen everyone up.
Full House Bowling
This game combines bowling with cards. Teams pull a card for every spare or strike and try to make the best poker hand from what they’ve collected.
Tag Team Relay Bowling
This bowling game requires a bit of strategy. Decide the placement of your teammates to optimize your final score.

At Stars and Strikes, we also offer team building games in other activities like laser tag and in our arcade space.
