BOWLING STUDY GUIDE
5th Grade
A FRAME is two tries to knock down the pins.
It is a STRIKE when you knock down all of the pins on the first roll.
A STRIKE is worth 10 points plus your next TWO ROLLS.
It is called a SPARE when you knock down all of the pins in two rolls.
A SPARE is worth 10 points plus your next ONE ROLL.
The HEAD PIN is pin # 1.
You should roll the ball in the POCKET in order to bowl a strike.
If you hit the head pin in the middle you will probably end up with a SPLIT.
A SLEEPER is a pin that is directly behind another pin.
An OPEN FRAME is a frame without a strike or spare.
It is called a TURKEY when you bowl three strikes in a row.
A bowler must roll 12 strikes to bowl a PERFECT GAME.
A PERFECT SCORE in bowling is 300 points.
A bowler STRIKES OUT when they make 3 strikes in a row in the 10th Frame.
In class, we learned to RELEASE the bowling ball with our palm facing toward the pins.
To have a good APPROACH: you should release the ball with your opposite foot forward, keep
your wrist firm, and follow through towards the pins.
