bocce
Lawn ball sport
Bocce is an Italian ball game in which players take turns tossing larger balls toward a smaller target ball, trying to land closest to it.
The game is played on a long, narrow court, often in parks or backyards: We played bocce on the lawn after dinner.
Also spelled bocci or boccie.
