Academic Bowling

Follow the directions for making the bowling pins on page 21. Using pushpins, Velcro, or other means, mount the bowling pins on the bulletin board in standard bowling formation. Use the words from spelling or vocabulary lists you are currently studying or old ones for review. Make the word cards based on the needs of your class. Prepare several packets, each with 10 words. Copy the score sheet below so that each team has one. This format can be used with vocabulary words or problems from any other subject matter--e.g., multiplication, states and capitals, etc.

Directions

Display the pins. Have the player whose turn it is select a packet of cards. For each word, have the player give a synonym or antonym. For each correct response, one pin is knocked down (i.e., removed from the board). If a student gives seven correct responses, a score of seven is written in the box for the first frame. If a student reads all the next words correctly, that would be a strike, and an X would be placed in the box for that frame. On the next turn, the new score (8) is added to the 10 points earned from the strike (7 + 10 + 8), and the total is written in frame two, in addition to the eight being recorded and added again in frame three.
