Miniature Golf Kids Activity

Miniature Golf is fun for kids and adults of all ages. It helps with hand eye coordination too. This miniature golf idea is for young children. It's simple and uses many things you may have in your home.

You may not have all the items listed below, but use our ideas and add some of your own as well. You may use these ideas to play either inside or outside.

You may use a golf ball or any little rubber bouncy ball you may have. If you have a golf putter let the kids use that or even a small bat or a stick will do.

Miniature Golf Kids Ideas

Pinwheel Lane
You can either buy or make some pinwheels. Here is a link on how to make a PINWHEEL. Line your pinwheels up in a zigzag line, and have the kids putt their ball zigzagging around through the pinwheels.

Teddy Bear Mountain
Make a blanket look like a small mountain, and pile your teddy bears on top of the mountain. Then have the children, hit their balls around the mountain.

Doll Parade
Line your dolls (or stuffed animals) up in two lines, like their marching down a parade. Have the kids hit their ball down through the middle of the two lines of dolls.

Popcorn Junction
Either buy a box of popcorn, or pop some popcorn and put it into a bowl or two. Have the children hit their way around popcorn junction.

Train Circle
If you have a train. set it up so that the children can hit the ball under the train. If there is a bridge or two, that would be best. If you cannot use a train set, you could draw one on some cardboard and make a tunnel with some poster board or card stock.

Flag Memorial
Have some flags that you can poke into the ground to have the children zigzag their way through. If you do not have flags you can make some by coloring on some white paper towels and taping them to a stick.
If you are doing this inside, use an empty cereal box to poke the flags into, and hit your ball through the box. Lemonade Pass
Have two pitchers of Lemonade that they must hit their balls through. After the activity they can have a nice glass of lemonade to drink.

Banana Monkey Junction
If you have a stuffed monkey have him sitting there with a bowl of bananas that the kids can eat after their activity. Have them hit their balls around banana monkey junction.


Rabbit Hole or Log
To end your adventure use an empty cleaned out soup can. It's best to use the kind of can opener that just releases the seal of the lid, and doesn't cut the lid, that way nobody will get cut. If you have a place you can stick the can in the ground for the rabbit hole, that would be fun for the kids to hit their ball into the rabbit hole.
If you cannot put it into the ground, make your can look like a log. You may cover it with brown colored paper and put lines on it to look like a log. Then have them hit their ball into the rabbit hole in the log.

I have some signs that you can cut out and tape to a popsicle stick and put in the ground next to the obstacle. Download Signs. You may cover them in contact paper if you wish.
