I can imagine a fun version of this tunnel game with blocks. I love pulling in the bowling aspect in with math.

The unit block principle was developed by educator Caroline Pratt in the early 1900s. Pratt believed that open ended play materials allowed children recreate the world around them. Unit blocks are an important part of childhood play because they allow a child to discover and learn much more than an ordinary set of blocks. The very essence of the unit block is to allow the child to learn about fractions and multiples naturally as part of block play.

Zina :: Let's Lasso the Moon PS: Do you think plain wood (vs color blocks) help your child be more creative?
{All About Unit Block Play} This is a great resource for parents & teachers. Scroll down to get to the meat of the article. What is your child's favorite thing to do with blocks? Do you let them play creatively or do you try to interject additional math into the interaction?

{Thinking Inventively} "Everything can have a connection to math, and math connects to everything. Jumping, marching, and climbing stairs, for example, are all ways to practice counting. When children recognize, draw, play with, and combine shapes, they are not only learning about geometry, but also might be experimenting with visual art, architecture, and science." Interesting article.
