The Importance Of Bowling Balls In High School

The object of the game is to knock down all the bowling pins on the other team’s side. Mr. Dunn had the children line up and he split them into two groups. One group stood on a line on the far side of the gym and the other group stood on a line closer to the door. Each student got one bowling pin and was told to guard it. They could not touch the pin or stand in front of it, but they could knock balls out of the way with their hands when they were thrown at the pins by the opposing team.
