Beanbag Games Provide A Ton Of Family 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.

For quite some time, bean bags were considered to be everyone's favorite toy to play with at home. They get rid of the fear of getting hurt from tough or sharp gaming equipment, after all. This means that young children can even play without you have to constantly worry about them or watch them from afar.

If there are toddlers in your house, then chances are they are fond of placing practically anything into their mouths. If this is the case, then you need to keep a very close eye out and make sure they do not do so. If you can't be around to watch the kids play, then it would be advisable to only let kids that are three and older play with the beanbags instead. Naturally, adults can try these games out whenever they want to.

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.

It is important for the bags to be small, though, because the goal of the game is to shoot the bag into the hole. Depending on the height and size of the hole that it shoots into, points will then be given. The difficultly positioned holes will obviously have more points compared to the ones that are considered to be easy to score, as well. These games that have scoring apply to older kids much better since they already know what scoring is all about to begin with.

Younger children, on the other hand, won't care very much about scoring, so you can just have them play for fun. Create bigger holes for them and help them shoot their bags into the hole. Once they achieve this on their own, they will already feel like major winners.

Adults can up the ante a little bit and make the competition harder by playing outdoors with a single small hole on a rectangular board. You can think of it as a game of basketball, where the beanbag would act as the ball and the hole in the rectangular board would act as the hoop.

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.
