0 Beanbag Games Can Be A Lot Of Fun

By Megan Landry


Beanbag games spell a lot of family fun. Unlike other activities out there, these fun games can actually be enjoyed by every family member at home. The best part is that they can be played indoors, as well as outdoors, so you can play outside when the sun is shining and just play inside when the clouds start to turn grey.

A lot of people have been playing with beanbags for a while now and they have easily become their favorite playthings. What makes them so lovable is the fact that they cannot hurt anybody the way that other sharp and tough gaming equipment can. This means that even younger kids can play with them and you won't have to keep looking over your shoulder to make sure they are okay while they do, either.

If you happen to have toddlers around you who like to put everything in their mouths right now, then keep in mind that they shouldn't play with these toys, though. If they do, they may accidentally place the bags in their mouths and bring about unwanted accidents. As such, these toys would be more recommended for kids three years old or older instead. Adults can play them, too, though.

Whether you are there to supervise or not, you should make a board for the kids beforehand that involve their favorite carton characters. Then, place holes of different sizes on the board. Get the bags ready for them, too.

The aim of the game is to get the bags into one of the holes. Points will be awarded depending on the hole's size after the bag makes it through. Smaller holes will equal to more points. Older children will especially love this scoring system because they should already understand how points work, in general.

For kids aged three to four, it would be best to keep the holes slightly big, so they won't have too much trouble playing the game and will actually enjoy doing so. Even if there isn't any scoring system in place for the younger kids, they are sure to enjoy playing with the bags. Just being able to get the beanbags into the holes should be enough satisfaction for them overall.

As mentioned earlier, adults can play this game, too. However, it is best for them to play outdoors where they can place a big wooden board with a single hole on top similar to a basketball hoop. They can then play a basketball game with it, but with beanbags and even challenge each other to a shoot-off.

Naturally, this adults' version will be harder than the kids' version. It is also possible to change the mechanics as you see fit. Instead of playing a similar game to basketball, for instance, you can play according to distance and challenge each other that way. The ones who stick it out to the very end will then be declared as the winners. This just goes to show that beanbag games are definitely a lot of fun for both kids and adults alike.
