Activity Overview
This is a quick and easy competition game to see which team can get their balls closest to the white target ball.

Activity Instructions
In this game the white pallino is thrown and then each team takes turn throwing their balls (underhanded) from behind a foul line. One point is given for each bocce ball that is closer to the pallino than the opposing team's bocce balls. If a team has multiple balls closer to the pallino than the opponent's closest ball, they will receive a point for each one. Some versions of the rules allow bocce balls that are directly touching the pallino — referred to as a “kiss” — to count for two points. The game continues until 12 points have been scored or to pre-determined points set by the players before the game starts.
