My students have loved the bowling cards for listening comprehension and I wanted to make some more focusing on inferences. The game is played with sweet little bowlers and some score cards.
The cards with bowlers each have a short story that describes a situation.
The inferencing cards include simple ideas such as the example above and also more complex inferences that require reasoning.
The score cards are mixed into the game. Student get an extra turn if they pull a Strike or Spare card. If they draw a Gutter Ball they lose a turn. This game is available in my TPT store. It features 25 inferencing cards.

so cute! I have a little mini bowling set (like super mini) and it would be fun to somehow incorporate it into your bowling card games. I’m going to have to figure that out.

I’m always looking for more inferencing activities for my students because inferencing is a skill that always needs a fresh activity. Thanks for making!

Thanks Allison!
I just found your blog and have spent the whole evening reading back through your posts! There’s so much amazing stuff on here and the only good thing about being an unemployed teacher is that I’ll have time to make some of these great ideas! 🙂 Thanks a million – your newest follower.
