instructions
Ages: 8+
Players: 1+
Equipment: 10 bowling dice and scorepad
Object: Be the player with the highest score after playing
10 frames.
Game Play: The youngest player goes rst. The player rolls
all 10 dice. If an “X” appears on any of the dice on the rst
roll, the player has rolled a “strike.” An X is recorded in the
upper right corner of the player’s score box for frame one,
and
their turn ends. Play passes to the next player to their left.
If an “X” is not rolled on the rst roll, the player records the
number of pins “downed” (blank dice). A “/” appearing on
the rst roll or an “X” appearing on the second roll are also

counted as downed pins. The number of pins downed
(blank dice) in the rst roll is recorded in the upper left
corner of the player’s frame score box. The player then
gets to roll a second time. On the second roll, the player
rolls all of the dice that landed with a bowling pin face
up (pins left standing).
If a “/” appears on any of the dice on the second roll, the
player has rolled a “spare” (all pins downed with two
rolls) and their turn ends. The “/” or the number of pins
downed in the second roll is recorded in the upper right
hand corner of the player’s frame score box. A completed
frame is either a strike, spare, or total downed pins after
two rolls. Play then passes to the next player. Play
continues as above until all ten frames have been
completed.
Scoring: Score like regular bowling. Count the total
number of downed pins in each frame and add to the
running total. Record the running total in the bottom
portion of each frame score box. A strike counts as 10
plus the total of your next two rolls. (i.e. a strike in the rst
frame followed by rolls of ve and three would score 18
in the rst frame, the second frame would score eight for
a total of 26 after two frames.) A spare counts as 10 plus
the next roll. The 10th frame has extra boxes in case the
rst roll in that frame is a strike or the second is a spare.
