Beanbag Games Are Fun For Everybody

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 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.

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.

For adults, there are many games that are specially made to be played outdoors. A lot of the time, though, they will consist of a wooden board in the shape of a rectangle that has a hole located on the very top part. As with the kid's version, the main goal would be to shoot the bag in the hole.

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.
