Beanbag Games Are Fun For Everybody

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 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.

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.

Depending on the age of the children playing, you can make the holes big or small. The older the kids, the smaller the holes should be. Either way, the goal should be to shoot the bags into one of the holes. Points will then be given depending on how big of a hole the bag was shot into. Older kids are going to love the competitiveness that comes with this game because they already understand how scores work and will want to beat each other's scores in the process.

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.

You can even add all sorts of different mechanics of your choice, like a certain distance to shoot from or an amount of times to get the bag into the hole in a row. Points can then be given out according to the rules and mechanics. No matter how old you might be, you are sure to enjoy these beanbag games. The best part is that the whole family can even bond through them.
