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.

A lot of people love bean bags and the fun that they provide at home. This is mainly because they don't need to be scared about getting hurt since there aren't any sharp or harmful equipment involved with them. If you have young children around the house, that means you won't have to worry too much about them playing nor will you have to watch their every move, 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.

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.
