Bowling is a lot of fun, and it's a sport that embraces the entire spectrum from children to older adults. I used the sport of bowling when homeschooling my son. I wanted him to learn how to compete against himself, how to keep proper score, and to work toward improvement. These three tenets stayed at the forefront of his bowling sessions. Eventually, my son wanted to join a league, and that's where he enjoyed the social aspect of the sport.
