Abstract: A children's bowling game comprising a frame having a bowling alley included therewith, and which is slightly inclined downwardly from a ball propelling end toward an end remote therefrom. The remote end carries a plurality of upstanding elements which have the silhouette of bowling pins, and which are located in the arrangement of normal bowling pins. These elements, however, are relatively flat members. A recess is located immediately behind each of the bowling pins which are hingedly mounted with respect to the bowling alley, so that the bowling pins will be shifted from a first upstanding position to a second flat position where they are located in the recesses when contacted by the bowling ball. In this way, the upper surface of the bowling pins are flush with the surface of the bowling alley when in a second position. An actuating means is also associated with the frame in order to shift the pins to the upright or first position by means of a manually operable lever. In addition, several of the bowling pins in the set are automatically shifted to the second position when one or more bowling pins associated therewith are shifted to the second position by the bowling ball even though the first mentioned bowling pins are not so contacted by the bowling ball. In this way, it is possible to achieve a strike when the bowling ball is properly located in a strike position with respect to the bowling pins.
