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 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.
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.
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 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.
