Hi, Chief Taylor Students!
Dec. 9th to 11th
On Monday you were asked to freeze 10 cans or bottles with water and one round balloon. By now they should be solid ice. You will need those supplies for this activity. If you didn't see Mondays post then just use 10 cans or bottles and a ball for this activity.
Today you will be building your own bowling alley in your yard.
1. Start with the bowling lane. Either use a shovel to level and flatten out a long lane or walk and pack down a nice lane with your feet. The lane should be at least 8 to10 steps long and 2 steps wide.
2. Next, set up your 10 bowling pins(cans or bottles frozen if possible) on one end of the lane.
4. Let's Bowl!! Stand at the other end of the lane and ROLL your frozen balloon ball or another ball you have and see if you can knock down all 10 pins. You have 3 tries to knock down all the pins. As you knock some down move them out of the way. Once you have had 3 tries your turn is over, if all the pins get knocked down before you have had all 3 tries set them up again and keep counting your score! Now you should calculate your score and record it. You can play against yourself or someone else that lives at your house. A whole game consists of 10 frames (10 turns). If you don't want to keep score for a whole game you can pretend a new game starts after each person has had 3 tries in a row. At the end of the 10 frames total up the points from all 10 boxes. The person with the highest score wins.
Scoring- if it takes 3 tries to have all 10 pins knocked down you score 10 points or if you knocked down less than 10 pins you will score that number. I knock down 5 pins total I get 5 points.
SPARE- knock down all pins with only 2 tries this is worth 10 points plus the number of points you score with your next turn. I knock down 3 pins with my next turn. My score is 13 points for this turn.
STRIKE- knock down all 10 pins with 1 try. This is worth 10 points plus the total points from my next two tries. I knock down 3 pins with my second try and 5 with my third try. My score for this turn is 18 points.
