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.

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 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.

For kids, the games will usually involve a board with faces of monsters, animals or cartoon characters on it. There would be several holes on the board, too. A few small bean bags would be needed to play the game, too, of course.

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.

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.

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 comes with more difficulty, though, since the mechanics will also require a distance form where the bean bags have to be tossed by the players. Whoever shoots the bag well will be deemed the winner. Without a doubt, beanbag games are a ton of fun and can provide the entire family with a whole afternoon of excitement spent together.
