a sport or game in which a player rolls a ball down a lane with the aim of knocking over as many pins as possible at the other end of the lane

What is "bowling"?

Bowling is a sport where players roll a heavy ball down a lane to knock down pins arranged in a triangular formation at the end. The objective is to knock down as many pins as possible with a limited number of rolls, usually two per turn. In ten-pin bowling, players take turns trying to knock down all ten pins. If a player knocks down all the pins with one roll, it is called a strike. If they knock down all the pins with two rolls, it is called a spare. The game is typically played in frames, and the player with the most pins knocked down at the end wins.

What is "ice skating"?

Ice skating is a sport or recreational activity where a person glides on ice using special footwear called skates, which have metal blades on the bottom. It can be done on frozen lakes, outdoor rinks, or indoor arenas. There are different types of ice skating, including figure skating, where skaters perform jumps, spins, and routines, and speed skating, which focuses on racing. Ice skating requires balance and coordination, as skaters need to control their speed and direction while moving on the slippery surface. It is enjoyed by people of all ages and is a popular winter activity.
