Bowling Styles

Friday (24/06/2011)

a) Vocbulary recap.
 We recapped words that we learnt earlier. Among: sports, games, run, hop, skip, medal, gold, silver, bronze, badminton, bowling, etc.

b) More about bowling.
Yun Xin: A bowling ball has got 3 holes.
 Thus, to choose a ball, one must fit his or her fingers into the holes. They must feel comfortable. Besides, one must choose a ball which is not too heavy. The lightest ball could range from 4kg to as heavy as 18kg. Kwong Yong is 15kg. Thus, we tried carrying him to have an idea of 15kg.
 Bowlers roll the ball through the alleys before hitting the pins.

c) Discussion about Bowling Match.
 The kids said they preferred team match. This time they hoped to get a trophy rather than medal.
 Chun Kit said he could share his toy bowling set with us Weei Xiang too agreed to lend us his bowing balls. We are looking forward as these balls have got 3 holes.

d) Video Clips.
 We watched clips that showed Youth International Championship. Each bowler wore t-shirts representing different countries. They bowled using different tactics. The kids were amazed at their styles. Some balls rolled sideways, some could spin….Wow!
 We also watched clips that show kids bowling fun game using colourful pins and balls.

e) Bowling Time!
* We made a long line to practise rolling styles. Then, we played bowling to enhance our skill.:)
