Finnish skittles

Finnish skittles are a game that people play for fun! It's like an outdoor bowling game where you get to knock over wooden pins with a ball. The pins are called "skittles" and they are different colors. You get points for knocking down the skittles and the person with the most points at the end wins!

To play Finnish skittles, you first set up the game by putting the pins in a triangle shape at the end of a long lane. Then, each player takes a turn rolling a wooden ball down the lane to try and knock over as many skittles as possible.

The skittles have different amounts of points assigned to them based on their color, and you add up the points at the end of each turn to see who's winning. If you knock down all the skittles, that's called a "strike" and it's worth extra points!

Finnish skittles is a fun game to play outside with friends and family. It's easy to learn but takes practice to become really good at it. So grab your ball and go give it a try!
