ElizabethB Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Please help me out here. Google is no help when you don't have good search terms. I'm looking for the game that is like croquet, but the balls are bigger and not hard, and they roll through larger hoops. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Bocce? Except I don't think bocce uses hoops. Can't think of anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeekingSimplicity Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Pall Mall, lawn billiards. I keep thinking there's one that starts with an R, but I can't seem to get it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooh bear Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Croquet in Alice in Wonderland uses hedgehogs and playing cards. Now if I could just get those hedgehogs to stay still, not to mention the flamingos, the game would be quite fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Jarts? Except it's not in production anymore. Because people died. And it's not a ball. And it's dangerous. This is basically a PSA: JARTS: What the #$%& were they thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooh bear Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 What about Trucco, also called Lawn Billiards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Quidditch? :) :iagree:. I was just scrolling down to post that too. You know you're on a homeschool forum when you consider a game in a book to be a sport. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I loved Jarts when I was a kid. JARTS: What the #$%& were they thinking? :iagree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I loved Jarts when I was a kid. I looked Jarts up, and it looks like another name for lawn darts? --the sale of which was banned in the US and Canada because of deaths.
