Curling at home

Winter Olympics Fun with Curling

While I wait for my synthetic ice curling rink to magically appear in my basement (how can I make this happen?!), I thought it would be fun to try out something similar on the floor. This took me about 3 minutes to set up, and it's a lot of fun! Of course, there isn't sweeping, but it's a fast game to play and lots of fun.

DIY Curling Game 

What you need:

• Tape (I used painter's tape and electrical tape)
• Poker chips
• A relatively smooth surface

Purchase a Tabletop Curling Set

Another option is this GREAT tabletop curling game from Elite Sportz! The 'stones' glide really smoothly thanks to ball bearings in the plastic casing. There is no sweeping involved, either, so it's fast to set up and easy to play.
