Skee Ball



My all time favorite arcade/carnival game. You pay usually 25-50 cents to play, get 7 balls, and then toss them up the ramp and try to score the most points by getting the balls as close to the middle of the bullseye as you can. Depending on how well you do, you usually get tickets which you can trade in for some little plastic trinket.

Do you have skee ball where you live?

  3. when the odd carnival comes into town, we do but that's very seldom. I love it. I usually cause a line because i refuse to stop playing.
