Bowling

Bowling is a game where you roll a heavy ball down a long lane and try to knock down 10 pins that are standing at the other end.

You can play with your friends or family and take turns rolling the ball, trying to knock down as many pins as you can.

The pins are set up in a triangle shape and each pin is worth one point. If you knock down all 10 pins on your first try, it’s called a strike and you get 10 points plus bonus points for the next two rolls.

If you don’t knock down all the pins on your first try, you get a second chance to knock down the remaining pins. If you succeed, it’s called a spare and you get 10 points plus bonus points for your next roll.

The game goes on for 10 turns and the player with the most points at the end is the winner.

Bowling can be a lot of fun and a great way to spend time with friends and family while exercising your muscles and having some friendly competition.
