1. Divide the class into teams of 4 and assign each team a bowling lane. One player from each team stands behind his teams target which is set up at one end of the room opposite where the rest of the team is lined up.
2. n the signal, the first person on the team rolls the ball toward the target and immediately follows the ball and gets behind the target. If the target has been knocked down, the bowler sets it up before he/she gets behind the target and yells out the pre agreed on multiple. If 9s are the bowling multiple for the round, the 9 or a consecutive multiple of 9 is yelled out 9- 18- 27-. . .
3. When the ball is bowled, the player that is playing behind the knockdown has one job, to retrieve the ball, run it back to the bowl line, hand it off to the next player in the line and get in line. Continuous action while scores are adding up.
4. Play one round for 8 minutes, let students get a drink, then play another round for 7 minutes. Or play just one round, then move onto another activity.
