ten-pin bowling
Alley ball game
Ten-pin bowling is the standard form of bowling in the United States, played by rolling a ball down a lane to knock over ten pins arranged in a triangle.
Each player gets two rolls per frame to clear the pins, with strikes and spares earning bonus points.
We went ten-pin bowling for her birthday.
