This Game is Good for Kids Who Need Help With:

Self-Control

Managing our actions, feelings, and behaviors.

In Wii Sports: Bowling, players must carefully control their movements to avoid adding too much spin to the ball. If they find the ball veering in a certain direction, they need to tweak their movements and adjust their technique slightly to ensure they do not continue to throw the same way. Furthermore, picking up a spare requires precise control, tasking the player with spinning his ball at certain angles or gently throwing the ball. If players continually give in to the urge to just hurl the ball down the middle each time, they won't find much success.

Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Players have to use their Planning skills in this game in order to correctly position themselves before throwing the ball down the lane. This includes moving left or right to adjust the direction they throw from, deciding how to angle their throw in order to make the ball hit the pins, and estimating how hard they should throw the ball. Also, players can add spin to their ball by twisting their wrist as they throw. This allows them to set up elaborate shots which are needed to pick up tricky spares like the infamous 7-10 split.
