Walker Bottle
Battle your opponent to move a marker along a grid by landing bottle flips.
How To Play
Step 1.
On a table or large board use masking tape or similar to mark out a ladder grid like the one shown here, each square being about 15cm by 15cm. Make it an odd number of squares and mark the middle one with an 'X'. Place a marker bottle on this central box.
Step 2.
Each player requires a small bottle of water, two-thirds full. On the whistle they must each flip their bottles repeatedly and try to land it on its base. Each time they do so successfully, they move the marker bottle one box away from their end of the ladder grid towards their opponents end.
-
The first player to move the marker bottle to their opponents end of the grid wins. Set a maximum game time of 1 or 2 minutes at which point the player in the lead wins.
