Get your stone to the centre of the target whilst blocking or removing other players as they try to do the same. Curling is a fun and social activity, and it can be exciting when the last player decides to launch the final stone at speed towards a loaded target!
You won’t get cold playing our version, it is on a normal floor rather than on ice, and the 'stones' are on castors! The target has rings and scores like an archery target, and is taped on the floor. You stand or sit by the start line to roll your ‘stone’ towards it, judging the direction and how much power to put into the roll. Like the real thing, our stones have a handle and can roll at any speed, spin and knock other stones out of the way. Ours are smaller and much lighter though, so players of any sight or ability level can play, with a spotter if needed. This activity goes well with Crown Green Bowling as some of the skills are very similar.
