Beanbag Games Can Be A Lot Of Fun

By Megan Landry


If family fun is what you need at the moment, then beanbag games would be your best bet. These children-friendly games are safe for the entire family to enjoy at home, after all. They can be played indoors or outdoors, too, so you can have a good time when the sun is out in the afternoon or even when the clouds look grey.

A lot of people have been playing with beanbags for a while now and they have easily become their favorite playthings. What makes them so lovable is the fact that they cannot hurt anybody the way that other sharp and tough gaming equipment can. This means that even younger kids can play with them and you won't have to keep looking over your shoulder to make sure they are okay while they do, 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.

To make things more interesting for the kids, try filling up the board that they will play with with different cartoon characters or fun animal caricatures. Then, make some holes into the board and get the bags ready.

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.

For very young children - the ones who are three and four years old - there are other things they can do. These may include bigger three-level holes and usually don't involve any points. All that the kids have to do is shoot the bag into the hole. This action in itself will already make them feel like real winners, believe it or not. Keep in mind that they will need to be supervised to avoid them eating the bags, though.

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 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.
