Beanbag Games Provide A Ton Of Family Fun

By Megan Landry


If you are looking for family fun right now, then beanbag games can give you exactly what you need. Since these games are completely children-friendly and safe, the whole family can enjoy playing them at home. It doesn't even matter what the weather is like since you can just go outside to play whenever the sun shines and play inside whenever the weather is gloomy.

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.

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 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.

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.
