Volleyball Bowling?

Just kidding!  Volleyball Bowling sounds like a terrible idea.

We have ended out volleyball unit and are moving into our bowling unit. 

Last year was my first year doing bowling K-6 and it was AWESOME!!  We are so excited to do it again! We work on rolling skills throughout the year at each grade level, but by creating this specific bowling unit, we can really hone in on those skills.

Last year I found some great bowling activities from a fellow PE teacher and know they will work great again, as well as a few new ideas!  Because I do not have a giant bowling alley, many of our games have a TEAM aspect.  The groups of kids have to work together to collect the most cubes, earn the most money or to get a BINGO, etc.

I will even turn the gym into a Cosmic Bowling Alley for the end of the unit with Christmas Lights, LED rope lights and Black lights.

This should be an awesome unit and I cannot wait to watch these kids improve on their skills!

Here are some image highlights from last year:
