Roll ‘n Strike In-School Program

The Roll ‘n Strike In-School Program utilises 5 portable bowling lanes (carpet lanes and full size balls and pins) that primary school teachers can book for a 5-week period each year completely FREE! The program is very popular due to the fun nature of the sport of tenpin bowling and the fact that every student in the class is given a role to perform – on task and having fun at all times.

When you book the kits you are also supplied a teacher’s manual link and also videos view-able from the TBAQ App teachers can download on their phone or ipad, or access everything from a laptop. Teachers easily pick up the key skills from the video and manual.  TBAQ also provide you with pre-written lesson plans including ACARA syllabus links with additional 20 fun games that will help develop the students skills and provide endless varieties of games once the basic skills are mastered.
