Best Info About Beanbag Games

By Lana Bray


Beanbag games are ideal for fostering imaginative play in children and are good for getting them away from computers and TV screens. They can be played outdoors in sunny weather as well as indoors when it is rainy. They are also easy to store and carry around which makes them ideal for picnics and camping trips.

It is an excellent activity for increasing eye/hand coordination in children as well as developing motor skills. This kind of lawn game encourages imaginative play and teamwork. Children are sure to enjoy hours of fun and healthy exercise.

Some say the game has its origins in Germany where it was first played in the 1500's. It has a few parallels to horseshoes as both games involve tossing an object towards a target. It is also similar to other sports, such as golf or croquet, in that it requires coordination and skill. Attempting to get a beanbag into a target some distance away with an underhanded throw is no easy feat.

The game comes in sets that can be bought in stores or online. Sets include the game boards and eight beanbags, along with a carry case. The boards have centered holes and are made according to regulation size. They are made of lightweight press wood and have collapsible legs that can be folded under for easy carrying.

The WBBA, or World Bean Bag Association, has compiled official rules for the tournament version. A team consists of two to four players and each team is given four bean bags. The object is to get the beanbag into the hole . A team scores three points when a bag makes it into the hole, but only one point if it lands on the game board. Play continues until one team scores 21 points.

Beanbags can also be bought separately in sets of eight. There are washable versions made of durable, waterproof materials. Another variation comes in printed fabric in a variety of bright colors and patterns. For a custom-made design or motif, just email a copy of the design you want and it will be produced for you.

Teachers and parents alike enjoy using these to foster coordination and motor skills. Whether playing together as a team or practicing alone, children will get many benefits and enjoy many hours of exercise. By devising different size targets or containers for them, children can get proficient quickly. They can also be used to teach team-building games and as ice-breakers.

Manufacturers take pains to follow the official guidelines that have been established for producing the beanbags. They are double-bagged and double-stitched with strong furniture thread for long-lasting durability. Fine grade dried corn is used for the filling. Corn has proven to be mold-proof and does not absorb moisture, making it an excellent filler.

Beanbag games offer an ideal alternative for modern kids who need time away from the TV and computer screen. They can keep kids occupied for hours in creative play and healthy exercise. It is such an all-time favorite worldwide, there is even an international organization that organizes tournaments and sets the rules.
