Are you ready for summer? I am! I am ready to have my children home to play and enjoy some fun activities together.
If you enjoy bowling, then here are two great programs that may be in your area.
At participating bowling alleys, your registered children can bowl up to 2 free games each day of the summer. The dates and times vary by location. You can click here to check for a participating location near you.

This second bowling opportunity is offered in our area.
According to AMF’s website: “This summer, your kids can bowl for free at your local AMF Bowling Center. Sounds too good to be true, right? It’s not! All you have to do is register your children, and you’ll get weekly coupons via email for two free games per child per day all summer long. Children love bowling; it’s fun, active, social and local and – best of all – it’s FREE! That’s how AMF does summer!”
I signed my children up last year, and we never got to the bowling alley. To add insult to injury, I even paid for the accompanying Pass.
“For just $27.95, adults with children registered for free bowling can purchase an AMF Summer 17 Plus Pass good for two free games per day for up to four people ages 17 and older.”
Since our family did not bowl, I was not wise with the $28. Having learned from this mistake, I have registered my children, but I will wait to purchase the pass until we schedule a day to go. Having purchased bowling shoes for Paul and me, we will not need shoe rental. Since we do not plan to purchase bowling shoes for the kids, we will pay for their shoe rental which is approximately $3-5 each.
Though the bowling games are free, you will still need to either bring bowling shoes or rent them at the alley. The AMF Free Bowling Program runs from May 30 to September 5, 2011 from opening until 8:00 p.m. every day. Each week you will receive coupons for the free games for each child registered. You will need to bring the coupons with you to redeem the free games.
Let me know if you are able to take advantage of these bowling activities. If our family makes it to the bowling alley this summer, I will be sure to update you on our adventures. Stay organized and keep enjoying your family activities!
