Welcome to bowling school!

As a student at this school you must begin in the first grade (hypothetically of course). Using proper bowling technique, you will have two opportunities to knock down the pins in your grade. First grade is one pin, second grade is two pins, etc. all the way to the 10th grade! To advance from grade to grade, you must knock down ALL the pins in your current grade on your turn (you have two rolls). You pass if all pins are knocked down. On your next turn you would advance to the next grade level (add one pin). You stay back if any pins are left standing after your second roll. You remain in the same grade your next turn until you successfully knock down the pins in your level!

You could switch it around and have them try for 10 pins in the first round and take away pins as some folks think that knocking one pin down is tougher than 10.

This lesson can be done two different days. The first day as a base test, then the second day see if the studnets can make it further along in the grades!
