Four strikes game

Post a Comment. It's a game I adapted from one found on the Scholastic. To Play: players can play this game. One player is the "teacher" who writes a 2-digit plus 2-digit addition problem on a sticky note. The "teacher" must also write the sum before beginning the game. The "teacher" does not allow the others to see the post-it. The player if it is group of 3, the players take turns guesses a number. The "teacher" checks the sticky. But to get there, you must roll your first strike, or a Jim J.

Bullock, who is best known for his appearances on Hollywood Squares, a TV game show that pits X versus O in tic-tac-toe. Follow up with a strike in the second frame, and you've thrown a Double, and you're ready for the Turkey, which in the s was the real-life reward some bowlers received for three strikes in a row. Without traditional names for other strings of strikes, bowlers and fans have taken to name the entire set of 12, though some of those names are not widely recognized.

However, it's generally accepted that the word "bagger" can be added to any number to describe a string of strikes, so five in a row is 5-bagger, and 10 is bagger. ESPN commentator Rob Stone is credited with calling four strikes a Hambone, and the term has been adopted by many bowlers. Rolling five in a row is often referred to as a Brat, for the number of sausages that come in a package. Meanwhile, six strikes are sometimes called a Wild Turkey for two turkeys in a row or a Bratburger, with the idea that no amount of food will satisfy a bowler who's got six but is hungry for a perfect Seven strikes, then, is sometimes called a Ham-Turkey Dinner for a string of four strikes Hambone plus a string of three Turkey.

An eight-bagger is sometimes called LPB, for Little Big Pete, while a Golden Turkey, for three straight Turkeys or nine consecutive strikes, can be referenced as Gordie Howe, who wore the number nine playing hockey.

Rolling a strike in each of the first nine frames is quite an accomplishment, but the pressure is then on in the 10th frame when you have a possibility of three rolls. Rolling 10 strikes to start a game is called a Front 10, while an 11th strike is sometimes called One Day From Retirement because many amateur bowlers go their entire career without rolling 12 strikes in a single game.

That final strike gives you a Perfect Game, or the total points you just scored. Starting a game with a string of strikes gives you a front string, such as Front Six if you bowled consecutive strikes in the first six frames. Similarly, ending the game with strikes gives you a back string, such as a Back Six if you roll strikes in the seventh, eighth, and ninth frames and then three in the 10th.
